Roy Bancroft is a childhood friend of Ryou's and Sarah's from New York City, having met them through Daisuke, the family dog. While he doesn't appear as much in Kokoro due to his role as a minor character and an American, the nature mage is known for his insane amount of patience. Mostly, Roy ("Rovin", as the other mages call him)'s seen teaching Mizuhara Minoru a new spell or two, or just hanging out with Takaishi Sora.

History
Before Kokoro
Roy Vincent Bancroft was born to two loving parents, being the younger out of two siblings. His life was as normal as it could be for the son of a nature mage and a weather mage. It was quickly proven that his older sister, Cornelia, was able to control pure energy; he too was also able to quickly prove his power over nature.
Thus, instead of attending the norm private school like he was supposed to, his parents enrolled him into Esori. It wasn't that Roy didn't enjoy his time at Esori - the mage actually loved it, and quickly grew to being one of the so-called "popular" kids. It was around first grade that he started taking fencing lessons, as well as violin lessons and German.
When he was about eight or nine years old, Roy first met Shirogane Ryou through the family dog, D-kun. He soon didn't quite know it, but the friendship with Ryou, and in turn, Ryou's friend, Sarah Cohen would soon come to a quick end. At the time, though, the three mirrored the trio that their fathers had. However, he was slightly envious of the relationship Ryou had with Sarah, as the boy had a giant crush on her.
However, Ryou's parents soon supposedly died when Roy was barely ten. As a result, his childhood friends broke away from him: Ryou to Japan, and Sarah to who-knows-where. It could be that this event was how Roy received his eternal patience, thinking that his friends would soon come back.
...But they never did.
Roy soon started to move on with his life. He started babysitting Mizuhara Minoru, Ryou's former neighbor; he became more involved with school and outside activites.
While on a business trip to Japan with his father when he was fifteen, Roy met up with The Star Six. Somehow, the nature mage became involved with the group, and gained a new friend in Takaishi Sora. To this day, the nature mage still prefers to hang out with them whenever possible.

Mage Information
- Element: Nature
Weapon
- [Roy fights with rapiers. His specific weapon, however, is unknown]
Abilities
- Flora Connect: Roy can easily bond with any flower around him. This enables him to speed their growth when it's required, but mainly: they experience the same feelings he does. If the flowers are wilting, Roy's probably depressed inside, and if they're blooming rapidly, chances are that Roy's pretty happy as well.
Signature Attacks
- Rose Vine: Striking his rapier into the ground, Roy summons vines to come up from the ground and wrap their foe to the ground. Roses then bloom, creating dust from ragweed and pollen to distract the foe, enabling Roy to then attack physically.
- Force Guard: Roy can create an invisible barrier from sunlight to protect him from incoming attacks for a short period of time. If he mixes his own energy in, the attacks can even be bounced back at the foe.
Unison Attacks
- Nature's Light: This attack combines Roy's Rose Vine spell with Hikari's Holy spell. Roses shoot up from the ground, bloom, and shoot holy beams of light at the foe almost instanteously.
Stats
- Strengths: Offense, Techinque
- Average: Speed, Defense, Mentality
- Weaknesses: Recovery, Evasion
Trivia
- Roy was actually based somewhat off Roy from Fire Emblem, as shown with his weapon and appearance. However, otherwise, the two have absolutely nothing else in common.
- Roy's power over flowers and nature in general were actually based off another OC of Saica's in the Teen Titans fandom, though that OC just preferred gardening, and actually didn't receive nature magic until much later.
