(Pull his hair back into a ponytail, picture it a blackish copper color, and add a few strands in a braid on the left side of his face and you have Koehmus. Would you believe I found this picture after I made filled out his General and Distinguishing Features?)

Personality: Koehmus is a strong-willed male with an ever-lasting patience; though it is not the same as anger. It takes a considerable amount of effort to anger Koehmus to the point of violence though causing harm to his siblings may due to the trick rather quickly. He is like a guardian in the manner he carriers himself in, a protector of your secrets and a steady friend. Calm, observant, and also gently kind. His sadness is often deep and honest but he can navigate through his sorrow and find his own peace again quickly. Joy is rather mild in expressive terms though he feels happiness greatly. Overall persona is an even and calm male with cryptic eyes and words.

Background/History: Koehmus was the child of a elven man and a human woman. Koehmus was only a half elf and while he could see and visit only rarely the world of the Elves, he had to remain in the human realm with his mother. For three and a half years that was Koehmus' happy life until his mother's frail body took a horrible sickness that stole her life in a manner of weeks. Koehmus was taken from the wonderful little cottage that had been his almost-elven home and put into foster care. He was adopted a few months later by a man and woman who wanted the money that he would provide.

Koehmus had turned four on the day he had been wandering through the cement-layered town his foster parent's lived at. A small hole in a fence lead to a small groove of trees that lined a tall grass-land beyond it. He spotted with his elf eyes a woman holding a baby wrapped in silk woven starlight. No secrets could be hidden by fairy eyes and the woman handed him the six month old half-fairy half-human infant, telling him to take care of her darling Shea or else. Koehmus brought the infant home and it took eight days for his foster parents to realize that Shea was even there. Koehmus did not allow Shea to be removed from his sight after his foster parents took charge of her. Once Shea turned one, he found his mother 'charmed' by the infant; he knew Shea would be safe. Fairy-children could do that to people sometimes.

Six months later brought little Sheridan to Koehmus via a doorstep. He had been puzzled over the infant for hours, cradling it in his arms before taking it in to the house. It was when he walked in and saw three green figures dart through the elaborate garden he tended every day and night that he realized the infant might be, and later he discovered was, carrying the blood of a Pixie. His foster parents immeaditely took him away and to an orphanage. Koehmus had cradled Shea in their shared room that night and left early the next morning to get the infant back. The process was repeated once more before he was locked into his and Shea's room. He woke up the next morning to find the infant nestled carefully in his arms. The slightest glancing look at the window, opened now where it had been shut, revealed a pair of bright coal-colored eyes and green skin with twig-looking hair before it disappeared. The battle had been won and Sheridan became Koehmus' responsibilty, one that he did not mind undertaking.

Through the years of living with his foster parent's Koehmus developed an eerie etherealness that was commen to elven-folk and the customary amount of patience that they had as well. Shea often grew sickly and in an act of anger from the cost of expensive 'human' medicene his foster father tried to strike her. Koehmus felt true rage for the first time and saved the proof of the violence toward his sister and his younger brother's thinness. Once he turned fifteen, he asked authorities, using said evidence, whether he could live on his own with his siblings. His cryptic wording and riddles bought him his request and he packed what little they had and brought them to the quaint cottage he had lived in for his first four years of life

After fixing it up to living standards, he eagerly taught his siblings to garden and the magical quailites of nature he could not have taught them in the metal and concrete town. Until the invitation to the school came, the three happily existed in their own seperate world.
