[last updated: feb. 29, 2016]​

NAME:
FIRST: Lennon
``Irish origin [his father was Irish]
``for a boy it means "small cloak/cape" but his mum prefers the name to be androgynous so it also means "lover" for a girl
MIDDLE: Abel
``Hebrew origin [he is Jewish]
``means breathing spirit, son
LAST: Cohen-Knight
``Cohen - "priest" [Hebrew origin], his mother's maiden name
``Knight - a tenant bound to serve his lord as a mounted soldier, therefore a man of some importance and substance
NICKNAMES: None, he hates being called Lenny, so don't!

IN DEPTH: A breakdown of what each letter in his first name represents:
L - Sometimes it's better not to over think everything and just experience life. Over thinking things for too long can make create indecisiveness. Having a kind heart you tend to be tolerant of others and honest with loved ones. In high pressure moment just slow down and take a breath. Fond of travel. The key to a happy life is balance.
E - Sensual and enthusiastic you love to have freedom. Falling in love comes easy to you and kinda happens often. You are an extrovert and like attention in social gatherings. This means you have a very good social sense and are hard to fool. You can see a situation from many different perspectives.
N - Having creative and unique ideas you tend to think outside of the box. You have a strong will with opinions to match it. You like to have an overview of your life which can result in writin journals. You build your life in a systematic way and could have your fair share of romantic relations.
O - Always taking the moral high ground that support your spiritual beliefs and strong will can at times alienate people around you. Boundaries and having rules is important to you. You feel things very deeply and are sensitive. Jealousy feelings can cause you trouble. Not brooding over past mistakes and forgiving others could lead to more happiness.

AGE:
eleven; june 19, 2029
ZODIAC: Gemini
Lennon is a Gemini, which he finds amusing because he is a twin. He also finds it ironic that the Gemini is an air sign, because he has a fear of flying due to his father's death. Like most Geminis Lennon can be very inquisitive and charismatic once you get to know him, but it takes a lot to get him out of his shell. He may also have a Gemini temper at times because he likes to bottle up his emotions because he is very shy.
VOICE: Lennon's voice won't start to change until he is about 13 years old, in which he will suffer immense embarrassment because of his voice cracks and high-pitched tone. The worst is when he is mistaken for Zara. In general, he has an English accent from spending so much time in Surrey with his mum, but there are hints of his Irish decent in his voice, especially when he gets angry.

BASICS:
BIRTHPLACE:
RESIDENCE: He and Zara bounce around from their mums to both set of grandparents, so they consider both England and Ireland home.
BLOOD STATUS: Mixed blood
DOMINANT HAN Right
WAN Straight 14" Flexible Larch Wand with Phoenix Tail Feather Core
``Length: A little on the longer side of things, wands of this length are slightly more uncommon and not easily forgotten by others.
``Wood: Larch is a durable wand wood that helps realize new talents and always seems to have some unexpected qualities influenced by its owner.
``Core: Phoenix tail feathers are not easy to come by. The animal is known for its versatility, making wands with this core useful for wand casters who seek to become good with different types of magic.
``Flexibility: Flexible: Not easily broken, this wand performs under strenuous circumstances with little effort - though how well it performs is ultimately up to its wielder.
IN DEPTH: Lennon is completely unsure of what to do with his life and therefore hasn't realized what magical talent or potential he has. The wand that chose him realizes this and is made for versatility and determination, ready to provide Lennon with the best talent once he figures out what he wants to do. Its long length seems a little ostentatious for Lennon's current shy demeanor, but in time he will come to appreciate the impression it leaves and it will give him the confidence to perform great magic with it.</COLOR></COLOR>

SCHOOL: Hogwarts New Zealand
HOGWARTS HOUSE: Ravenclaw
BEST SUBJECTS: tbd
WORST SUBJECTS: (probably flying lbr)
Gradebook
IN DEPTH: Lennon is very happy to be placed in Ravenclaw House at Hogwarts New Zealand because it is the same House and school that his late father went to. He feels a connection to him because of this. He is also happy that his twin sister got sorted into Ravenclaw as well, though he doesn't vocalize this because he doesn't want to give off the impression that he and his sister can't do anything without each other. They are still independent people of each other.

​

5 WORDS: sheltered, careful, caring, creative, curious
POSITIVES: Balanced. Intellectual. Kind. Independent. Charming. Imaginative. Intuitive. Certain. Communicative. Patient. Studious. Responsible.
[Note: Some of these will not be easily apparent in Lennon's early years until later.]
NEGATIVES:
``Doubtful: Self-explanatory. Lennon doubts himself so much
``Unreliable: Because Lennon likes to please everyone, it is hard to tell if he will be 100% on your side so you may not be able to rely on him.
``Covetous: Lennon hates change so he may covet things he is comfortable and familiar with and be petty when they're gone or changed.
``Uncontrolled Emotions: He hates making others worry, sad, or uncomfortable, so he likes to bottle up his emotions; this later backfires when he blows up over one little thing after suppressing his emotions for so long.
LIKES: books, reading, writing, traveling, astronomy, making friends, discovering new things
DISLIKES: Quidditch, flying, obnoxious people, show offs
GOALS: To break out of his shell; to find out a little bit more about his dad; to make his mum proud and worry less; to gain access into the restricted section of the library; to become an Animagus; to invent something magical; to write a book; to find his true potential
FEARS: That he won't figure out what he wants to do with his life; that he'll never experience life because he's so shy and sheltered; that his sister will realize how lame he actually is and move on without him at Hogwarts

MISCELLANEOUS​

`and it's driving me wild;​

<COLOR color="midnightblue">PATRONUS: Dragon [type to be determined]
EXPECTO PATRONUM: TBD
BOGGART: His sister dead
RIDDIKULUS: In order for him to turn this worst fear around he would imagine that his sister was pulling a prank on him and is actually covered in ketchup (not blood), so the ketchup's stickiness would make her laugh.
MIRROR OF ERISE Probably being surrounded by his family, having his mum truly be happy. With his dad alive. It's a weird thing for him to think of because he never actually got to see his parents together, so he has nothing to compare it to.
AMORTENTIA: TBD
ANIMAGUS: TBD
STRENGTHS: Bottling his emotions so he doesn't make others worry; caring for people
WEAKNESSES: Bottling his emotions so he never lets anyone know if he's struggling; this can lead to a temper outbreak; expressing himself


SEXUALITY: To be determined
FIRST KISS: N/A
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
TAKEN BY: N/A
INNOCENCE STATUS: Still Pure
TAKEN BY: N/A

FAMILY

`leave this blue neighborhood;
​

MUM: Pandora Cohen; [Panda's bio]

Lennon loves his mother very much, but the reason he feels so stifled and sheltered is because he's always felt like he's had to protect her and shield her from any more pain she'd endured since his dad's death. Pandora's pregnancy came as a surprise to her after Scorpius' death, so the twins are a painful reminder of her lost love. Because of this, Lennon feels like she resents them a little bit. She is a good mother to them, but he and Zara have overheard her talking about them and Scorpius, to their grandparents, and feeling overwhelmed with it all, so they feel like a burden to their mum. This is why Lennon tries so hard not to put any more stress or worry on her.

DA Scorpius Knight; [Scorp's bio]

Lennon knows very little about his father because he's afraid to ask his mum. He knows he was a famous Quidditch player and was constantly getting injured because of it, which ultimately led to his death. Because of this Lennon has a fear of flying and would never dream of playing Quidditch. He thinks it's overrated anyway. His paternal grandparents have filled him in on what kind of person his father was, and Lennon feels like he is the complete opposite of him. His father was goofy and charming and Lennon feels like he lacks those qualities. This is why he likes to feel close to his father in other ways, like inheriting his silver eyes and being in the same Hogwarts house as him.
​

TWIN SISTER: Zara Cohen-Knight; [Zara's bio]

Although he is technically the older twin, Zara likes to boss Lennon around. Even if they may be opposites in some ways, the Cohen-Knight's are extremely close and protective of each other. Lennon takes care of Zara, and Zara cares over Lennon. Because they've overheard their mum talking about the stress of having twins, they sometimes feel like they can only count and depend on each other. Lennon's biggest fear when he comes to Hogwarts is that his sister will make so many new friends and realize that she doesn't need Lennon after all, and leave him alone.
