Amara · Answer 2

After reading the summary of "In the Rockpilei" it has become clear that the word which accurately describes Roy is definitely 'disobedient'. I choose this one because he didn't behave and just stole away, leaving all the responsibility on his brother. Hope you will agree with me, regards!
