Roy Harris

Roy Harris as an adult

Roy Harris joined the Lake Estate series about halfway through Laurance's young-adult season. Roy first appeared as Lake Lane's diligent butler, cleaning and taking care of the kids since they were toddlers. Roy is currently the husband of Laurance, and works in social services. His duties as butler were taken over by Hana Mortia, the previous butler of Lana and Kian Delossantos.

## Appearance

Roy has medium dark, warm-toned skin. He has deep green irises and medium brown, afro texture hair styled in short dreadlocks. His eyes are smaller and almond-shaped, and fairly close together. Roy also has a thin, straight nose, though strong from a side profile view. His face is very square-shaped, and he has a short goatee.

### Young-Adulthood

As a young adult, Roy was most often seen in his butler's uniform. Though, after getting married to Laurance and being fired from being a butler, he wore a white turtleneck under a black button down shirt, black slacks, and shiny black shoes. He also had a few small stud piercings on each ear. (Note: Roy's appearance as a young adult was fairly glitchy/strange. There were problems with a ring he was wearing conflicting with the textures in his eyelashes ["which is commonly why you will never see one of my Sims wearing a wedding ring, but I just wanted to give Roy one so bad! I thought it was cute..." -Scooter] and Scooter remarked nearly every single stream that they thought the texture of Roy's dreadlocks looked weird).

### Adulthood

In his adulthood, Scooter fixed Roy's eyelash glitch problem by taking off his wedding band, and also changed out his weirdly textured hair for better looking dreadlocks (the Jury complained about Roy's new hair for the sole reason that it was also the hair of Oscar Lake, Roy's dead father-in-law, but the hair stayed on Roy nevertheless).

## Young-Adulthood

Roy Harris was first seen in the series as a butler when Laurance and his kids moved into Lake Lane. The moment he moved in with the Lake's he realized his undeniable feelings for the head of the household, and worked extra hard every day to ignore the feelings. He ended up severely overworking himself and getting sick quite often. Roy most often took care of the kids since Laurance worked so often. Kieran, Kat, and Taylor all took an extreme liking to Roy, constantly asking him to play with and talk to them. Once all of the Lake kids aged up into children, they each got their own pet, resulting in much more work for Roy. Not long after, Roy noticed Laurance began... flirting with him? An unexpected, but certainly not unwelcome surprise. The two soon began secretly seeing each other until the point even the kids noticed Roy didn't retire to his own bedroom every night. About another year after, Laurance and Roy were married, much to the surprise of none of Laurance's kids. When the Butler Academy found out about Roy having a secret relationship and marrying his employer, he was promptly fired. Roy didn't care, though. He was beyond happy with Laurance and got a new job as a social services worker, having his butler position at Lake Lane be replaced with Hana Mortia. Roy began caring for the Lake children not as a butler anymore, but a father. In fact, the children didn't even see him as a step-father at all. Considering they'd all known him since they were toddlers, they pretty much completely adopted Roy as a second father over the years. Not long after Roy and Laurance's wedding, the Lake kids were teenagers. Laurance consulted Roy long and hard before making any decision, but ultimately decided on sending the kids away to Windenburg Academy, an elite boarding school.
