Question: "Does R have an interest in things like amusement parks/bungee jumping or anything that might not "fit" a Verner Heir but had to refrain from ever acting out on those desires due to their position?"
Answer:
The answer to this is an emphatic 'yes'!
Does that mean R always abided by their position? No, it doesn't. There is a choice option within Chapter 3 where R admits to once having tried to scale the obelisk in the town square, which was decidedly not very Verner heir behavior, lol. As the years stacked up, the leniency (protection?) their age used to afford them became less and less, not that there was ever much to start with…
It's because of this that R has a unique view on certain childhood hallmarks—they didn't get to experience them (or at least not to the fullest extent). We see a hint of this when they plan an itinerary for a playdate, ranking the equipment on the playground and color-coding the budgeted timeline. They didn't want to mess up this outing with the MC; they needed everything to be perfect. But back to your question, R does have interests that do not align with that Verner heir image; however, they're still the Verner heir, which means certain cultivated interests as well.
There is a particular mention in Book Two that your question reminds me of; R mentions scaling a water tower. I'll leave it at that for now. I do think R/JR-mancers and those who befriend R should definitely take them to an amusement park; you would love how their face lights up.
