History:
Cooper was born the youngest child of Elizabeth Gates. He never knew his father, for the man left almost as soon as Cooper was born. He was always a social baby, and he always had a deep love for food. He grew up very close to his brothers, actually seeing his eldest brother as a father figure. Cooper held moderate grades in school, focusing instead on his cooking lessons in the kitchen with his mother. He did well, quickly progressing, until his mother hired him a retired chef as a tutor.
When Cooper was seven, their little apartment they grew up in caught fire. Damien was at a friends house for the night, but Cooper and Jason were home. Jason pulled Cooper from the house. He ended up with minor scars on his shoulders and back, but from that day on he was even closer to Jason. He was insanely pleased when Jason and Tyra married, adding the three Wolves to their family.
His life at Beauxbatons was fairly uneventful. He spent most of his time in the kitchens, more interested in studying his cooking than anything the school taught. He was again pleased when Damien started seeing Danielle, and to this day he adores all of his nieces and nephews.
Cooper was accepted into his dream culinary school, the Hattori Nutrition College in Tokyo, working a minor position at a small restaurant. He's sworn to become a great master chef, and to pay Jason back for paying off Coopers entire tuition.
After graduation, Cooper jumped right into his career, working as many jobs as he could, before ending up a solid chef for a company run by Cyzarine Haden, and he works any gigs she sends him on. He's dedicated to his career, too busy to bother with anything else. He's sure he'll find someone someday, but first he wants to really build a name for himself and prove that he can be as successful as his brothers.

Astrological Sign: Taurus
Practical and well-grounded, Taurus is the sign that harvests the fruits of labor. They feel the need to always be surrounded by love and beauty, turned to the material world, hedonism, and physical pleasures. People born with their Sun in Taurus are sensual and tactile, considering touch and taste the most important of all senses. Stable and conservative, this is one of the most reliable signs of the zodiac, ready to endure and stick to their choices until they reach the point of personal satisfaction.
Taurus is an Earth sign, and has the ability to see things from a grounded, practical and realistic perspective. They find it easy to make money and stay on the same projects for years, or until they are completed. What we often see as stubbornness can be interpreted as commitment, and their ability to complete tasks whatever it takes is uncanny. This makes them excellent employees, great long-term friends and partners, always being there for people they love. Earthly note makes them overprotective, conservative, or materialistic at times, with views of the world founded on their love of money and wealth.
The ruler of Taurus is Venus, the planet of love, attraction, beauty, satisfaction, creativity and gratitude. This tender nature will make Taurus an excellent cook, gardener, lover, and artist. They are loyal and don't like sudden changes, criticism or the chase of guilt people are often prone to, being somewhat dependable on other people and emotions they seem to be unable to let go of. Still, no matter their potential emotional challenge, these individuals have the ability to bring a practical voice of reason in any chaotic and unhealthy situation.
One always has to be prepared to have patience for a Taurus lover. They are extremely sensual, touch, smell and all pleasurable senses being extremely important to them, but they also need time to create a safe environment and relax in their sexual encounters. When they create enough intimacy with a loved one, they become a bit gooey, sometimes even needy, and have to keep their emotions in check, holding on to practical reasoning, while embracing change and initiative of their partner at all times.
For long-term relationships they often choose people from the same social environment that are able to respond to their intellectual needs, but also the expectations of their family and close friends. Holding on to traditional values and the practical side to life, this is a sign that rarely chooses a partner who won’t fulfill basic expectations of their upbringing, often showing and receiving attention through gifts and material things.
Friends - People born in this sign are loyal and always willing to lend a hand of friendship, although they can be closed up for the outer world before they build trust for new social contacts they make. Many of their friendships begin in childhood with a tendency to last them a lifetime. Once they make a clear intimate connection to another person, they will do anything they can to nurture the relationship and make it functional even in the hard times.
Family – Home and matters of the family are very important to every Taurus. This is a person who loves kids and appreciates time spent with people who love them, respecting family routines, customs, and being present in all events and gatherings. They will enjoy hosting house parties for both their family and friends, and don’t mind cooking a meal for a room full of people if they just have fun in return.
If you are in search of a strong, loyal and generous man, Taurus is the person you are looking for. He is trustworthy, patient and tender when in love, always in search of a returned emotion. He will not pick on subtle hints and suggestive looks from those who flirt with him, being a bit slow on the uptake as if waiting for someone to ask them out. He dislikes artificiality of any kind, and values conversations filled with genuine statements, especially when it comes to compliments and love declarations.
A Taurus man needs time to build trust and anyone on a chase for his heart needs to take the time earning it. As a person of very few words, he will seem impossible to penetrate at times, as if nothing can touch him. An invitation for a delicious home-cooked meal is always a safe bet when dating this man, as well as choosing a place that is comfortable and cozy, rather than popular or modern. Turned to nature and common thinking, he will see sex as something that comes when the time is right, rarely puts any pressure on his partner and feels like it is something to be enjoyed, not so much something to crave for. A part of his fixed, static character is the potential inability to forgive betrayal, and he needs to feel truly safe to settle down with one partner for good.

Wand: 8 inch slightly bendy straight oak with essence of belladonna core
Oak wands are excellently reliable no matter the situation they are found in - they withstand the greatest challenges and remain largely unscathed.
As a wand core, essence of belladonna is useful in Potions and Herbology work. The poisonous nature of this substance makes the wand more suspicious than most wands are of the wand caster. For this reason, wands with this core take a long time to bond with the wand caster.
