## Biography

### Early childhood

Ukiah Fowler was born in 2030 to Jersey Llewellyn and Chicago Fowler. He is three years older than his younger sister Kaliska. He has always been extremely close to his sister emotionally, her being the only family that he has left. Ukiah, his mother, father and sister were on a trip to Slea Head Drive through Dingle Town. His parents died in a car accident, both he and his younger sister were in the car. The children survived with minor injuries, his mother and father were both killed. His father was pronounced dead at the scene, his mother survived for a few hours longer only to perish in her hospital bed.

In 2035 Ukiah and Kaliska were placed in a magical orphanage after the car accident that killed their parents. It was determined by investigators from the Ministry of Magic that the boy had used magic to shield himself and his sister. Barely a year later Ukiah was grabbed by Dark Wix and used as a human shield. The young man was in the wrong place at the worst of times. A notorious Azkaban escapee was giving the British Aurors nothing but grief and leaving a trail of bloodied bodies in their wake. Ukiah happened to be surprisingly useful to one particular Auror hot in pursuit. He was able to distract the Dark Wix long enough for Auror Lawson and her partner Auror Edwards to apprehend the suspect.

Fostered by Wende Lawson a number of months after her encounter with Ukiah, her habit of visiting the siblings led to a bond the orphanage director noted in their files. A double brush with Aurors before he even started Hogwarts left him Ukiah with a thirst for that type of adrenaline. He believed having deceased parents robbed him of excitement, his once dreary black and white life had color again. He longed for that mix of fear and panic, little did he know what brought that out of him would change the more he chased after it. Ukiah and Kaliska were treated to mountain biking trips, learning to glide over boulders on dual-suspension bikes.
Ukiah responded well to Rock Climbing as was Wende's plan. She knew the ropes, the knots, the calluses, and the falls were the best introduction for the fears he'd want to get rid of.
