## Biography

### Early childhood

Kono Lewis was born in 2026 to Cherelle Vincent and Honon Lewis. As the eldest child he is two years older than his younger sister Leyti. Honon and Cherelle wanted freedom and safety, and so they lived in complete secrecy. Prior to the new and more idyllic life he became accustomed to Honon wasn't quite fit for society, Azkaban nearly destroyed him. Protected from external threats by every spell, potion, and creature known of in their combined knowledge. Relocating to a different country was not enough to provide the sense of peace. Cherelle would always feel that their happy family moments together were fleeting and danger was looming over them. She feared more for Honon and the children than for herself, an obsession that would contribute to her death.

In 2037 during a praticularly well executed halloween extravaganza Kono had his first sign of magic. Since they kept their social circle tight and exclusive they celebrated holidays elaborately. Kono and Leyti were treated to a haunted house in their own home. It was spectacular and better than any trick or treat they could've asked for. Leyti was absolutely terrified and loving it, until the end. Kono silenced and knocked back an anthropomorphic werewolf into a fixed position. After it snarled and lunged at him and his sister he was scared and angry enough to react magically. Leyti had been gripping her brother's arm tight, and he had his fair share of jump scares make him flinch that night.

His letter from Ilvermorny was found laying just outside the property line. He could see it and he swore it was close enough or him to reach. The protective wards and enchantments his parents set up prevented him from grabbing the letter himself. While he continued to try Leyti ran to tell their father the news. Informed of everything they had already known, it was made apparent to Honon that Kono had inherited a gift from his Half-Breed mother. His father learned why his son always seemed to be such an observant and hasty child. Shortly before the boy was eleven he proved his parents the ability to see flashes of the future he'd secretly struggled with for a years. Honon was surprised to learn his son was part-Nymph, he was concerned about how he'd keep it well hidden.
