Physical Description: Kojo stands just below five feet tall, slim in frame yet he still bears the slightly chubby, childish features of any boy his age. He's very dark-skinned, and his long, dark brown, kinky-curly hair rarely bears the same style from week to week (his father ensures he knows how to care for and style his hair on his own). His eyes are a light shade of brown, almost hazel, with bright flecks of green - they light up wonderfully when he laughs and smiles, which he often does.

Mental Description: Monday-born and born under the Judge (a Zodiac of African Astrology), Kojo is strong-willed, ambitious, lively, but peaceful child. He has some trouble when it comes to controlling his emotions (what child doesn't?), but he is, at his heart, a gentle peacemaker. He cares for other's feelings and involvement, he is quite affectionate, and he is very spirited, often leading what groups he's part of through simply being talkative and curious about others. Kojo can be a bit much for smaller, quieter personalities, and sometimes he can be unaware of when he is being too much, but he can be quick to match someone's energy once he does become aware.

Biography: Kojo is a first generation immigrant from the Ivory Coast, Ghana. He is the latest, the youngest, in a Pureblood lineage that can be traced for many centuries and countless generations - though, he is the first to attend a wizarding school outside of Africa. His mother passed away when he was quite young, too young to remember her - she was what English Wizards would consider an Auror, and fell in the line of duty. His father was an activist and journalist, which was often at odds with the work that Kojo's mother did - his father liked to report on particularly controversial topics that concerned the Ministry and their activities in relation to the normal and underground wizarding worlds. After the death of his mother, however, Kojo's father had trouble for some months remaining in the house they had lived and loved in for so long... And so he left for London, where some of his more adventurous friends had left to, bringing along his one and only son.

First Instance of Magic: Kojo's first instance of magic was one borne of pure, uncontained, uninterruptible mirth. He and his father had a little game they had created when Kojo was a baby and needed distracting - at completely random moments, they would try and startle one another with the weirdest thing they could think of. Kojo particularly enjoyed leaping out at his father with something gross in his hands that he had found, while his father stuck with old faithful funky faces. Once, they tried to startle each other at exactly the same time, Kojo with a mud pie topped with strawberries and a caterpillar, and his father with a really goofy face. The boy had been so startled at the same time so humored by his own prank that the confusing mess of emotions caused him to accidentally turn his father's and the caterpillar's hair the same color as the strawberry, and then into a random assault of changing colors when he lost his mind laughing.
