Personality
Riley is very much a stereotypical Ravenclaw. He loves books, absolutely loves them. His nightstand has no less than the next three books he plans on reading. For the most part Riley's very quiet compared to that of his brother but in his own ways, such as the classroom and ambitions, he's very much the opposite. He doesn't know how to deal with his negative emotions that well and when he's shouting and screaming you very much want to get out of the way.
History
Evandro Tsuda, a Brazilian muggle born to two Japanese immigrants from Osaka lived comfortably in Rio de Janeiro after ranking high up in the military. It was there that he met British muggle born to two Korean immigrants, Aurora Kang who was stationed out there with the British military. The two had a whirlwind romance and within a year or so of meeting each other they were married and expecting twin children. When the day arrived, 19th April 2010, the two were anticipating parenthood and before long Aurora gave birth to twin sons Rory and Riley.
After the birth of their children the couple returned to military service, alternating year by year. For the first four years of their lives the twins were raised by their father as they moved to a larger house in Rio. As the twins turned four their mother returned from Brunei and their father was deployed to the capital Brasília for domestic purposes.
As their father was deployed their mother taught them English and Korean, the two of them becoming fluent much like they had with Portuguese and Japanese earlier in their lives. As the twins turned 7 news came that there had been a riot in the capital and that their father had been gravely injured in the process. The family of three waited on baited breath until one week later it was revealed to them that their father had succumbed to his injures.
The twins had their first magical experience a year later. The two had been painting and in the midst of a play fight the two began throwing paint at each other. To their mother's amazement - and horror - the throwing turned to the paint levitating and then being thrown at each other. Not knowing what was wrong with her children Aurora began to do some research and eventually found her sons were wizards. Having done her extensive research and asking friends who, coincidentally, were wizards and witches themselves Aurora eventually settled on moving to Stirling, Scotland in hopes that her sons would be accepted into Hogwarts.
Returning to the military meant that Aurora had to find a place for her sons to stay. Being an only child and her parents too old to look after them she began to look for magical alternates and eventually set on Lil Bundles in Hogsmeade, a place her wizarding friends told her about. The two stayed there for only a year before their mother was killed in action, causing them to become permanent residents in the form of orphans. It had been their mother's dying wish for all of the family's savings to be converted into the magical currency and locked away in a shared bank account.
Rory and Riley eventually received their letters to Hogwarts and began to attend year round, visiting their grandparents during the summer. Rory was sorted into Slytherin and Riley into Ravenclaw, both excelling and aiming high.

Custom Trivia:
He tries not to fit into the Ravenclaw stereotype but goddammit he's a sucker for a good book
He loves dystopian, crime and thriller books but hates outright horror and gore
He loves both movie adaptation and novels the same amount
He's extremely ambitious
He gets startled easily
Loud bumps in the night are a main thing
Isn't afraid to go all the way to the Slytherin Common Room and sleep with Rory
Compared to Rory he's extremely shy
Has a tendency to tug at sleeves
He also likes to put the sleeves over his first and bunch it in the centre of his palm
Stereotypical Ravenclaw again the sense that he is definitely not shy in the classroom
Electively took Muggle Studies and Study of Ancient Runes
Mostly took the former so he could understand more about how his parents lived
He's actually quite sassy but rarely shows it
Partly because he never speaks but also because he believes he shouldn't waste the breath on people who don't mean much to him
Sadly Rory ends up with all of the pent up sass
Is colour blind
Suffers from the type tritanomaly (lack of blue)
He mistakes light blues with greys, dark purples with black, mid-greens with blues and oranges with reds
Sub-consequently his favourite colour is pink or pale blue
His favourite food is either Japanese or Brazilian
His favourite beverage is either something of British or Korean origin
Paid more attention to learning both languages of his parents equally
Semi-fluent in both of them
Finds it easier to speak Japanese and easier to write and understand Korean
He and his brother take more to the Korean heritage and reflect that in their looks
He has contemplated changing his name to Kang after his mother, but wouldn't as he wouldn't want to dishonour his father
Is ambidextrous
Favours right hand over left
Will do most things with his right hand but when it comes to using his wand or riding a broom he finds he gravitates to his left hand more
Doesn't handle negative emotions well
He usually goes around screaming/shouting until he's out of breath and sleeps for a good hour or so
Alternatively he's trying to write his feelings down but each book has been met with a fiery end
He literally studied the rules of Hogwarts
He doesn't know when or how this'll come to be useful but he hopes it does have a use because he did not spend half of the first term of first year learning them off by heart
Will f*ck you up in offensive spells
Not too bad at spells such as picking locks
Hates the smell of anything floral
Loves tropical fruit scents
Neutral on the scent of cinnamon
Fluctuates between loving and hating the scent of vanilla
His amorentia scents include cooking spices, tobacco, old books and Rory's favourite deodorant
Definitely a dog over cat person
His favourite breed is Shiba Inu or Dalmation
Though he loves axolotls
Honour is a big thing for him, being raised by two parents are children of families who have immigrated from nations where honour is huge means that it's a big deal
His boggart is dishonour and it's form changes
Usually it's an armed man, normally a samurai, being banished
Another form of this is a family heirloom dropping as a result of his clumsiness
He's not too clumsy, just enough where every couple of days he drops something (possibly a reason why he's failing potions)
He's honestly the type to google something knowing it was creepy or scary and then regret it for the next month
Horror films are a no-no, full stop
Definitely conforms to the mindset of "I don't like labels" but at the same time is willing to label himself so people will leave him alone
Demi-homoromantic for sure, there's no doubt about that
Teeters between demi-homosexual, grey-homosexual and plain homosexual
Finds sexual intercourse to be a weird thing; not weird in that it's //sex// but weird in that he knows he'd attach his feelings to his first time and isn't sure how he'd deal with potentially breaking up with them
He loves that his patronus is a barn owl
Also hates it since he finds them to be creepy at times
