### Likes

* Loves to go all out on Halloween - especially with his horror stories
* Likes to sketch some story ideas and make storyboards

* Quite geeky (loves sci-fi stuff, like Star Wars); would often try to get his parents and brothers involved (wasn’t sure on if his sister would or not), by having light-saber battles
* Likes to sew
* Loves arts and crafts - very creative

### Dislikes

* (Pony) Doesn’t like being the only Pegasus in the family
* Kind of the outcast in the family since he isn’t interested in the supernatural or magic
* Hides in his room when he feels anxious/ scared (will also hide away when he feels he’s being told off). When out he carries a stress ball and figure of his favourite comic book character to calm him.

## Relationships

* Gets on better with animals rather than humans (he finds most people to be annoying)

### Both Parents:

* Walked in on his parents a few times, while they were in the bedroom; he was embarrassed to say the least. He’s 8 when this happens
* When either him or Jezebel were working with any of the kids, John would tell them beforehand, ‘*Working with family is hard work*’.

#### John:

* A common thing John would say to all kids when they had moments of not believing in magic, would be ‘*Magic has to be believed in. That’s the only way it stays real.'*

### Siblings:

* Often follows Maxwell around
* Quieter than his brothers and sister

### Family:

* When a family member that he isn’t particularly keen on visits the lodge, he often hides away or continues what he was doing.
* Aaron likes to tell stories; as a pony he uses his magic to show the kids what happens

## Future

A moody librarian with a flair for books, Niko owns his own library. He makes sure everything is in order, and also that the kid’s section is far away from his desk, so he doesn’t have to hear any of them whining. He’s very organised with both his books and paperwork, so he hates when anyone moves something out of place or doesn’t put it back where it belongs. Not many people know, though, that he part times as an archaeologist and loves adventuring, backpacking when he can.

## Minor Notes

* Was premature - came over 5 weeks early; Jezebel was rushed into hospital.
* Named after Nick Necro who taught John magic
