Levi has several chips on his shoulders that he nicely covers with a sweet smile and a genuinely accommodating disposition. Circumstances before his and his older brother’s birth made his parents both over-protective and certified micro-managers; personal space bubbles are myths in the Kenning household and to even suggest to Mr. and Mrs. Kenning that he ‘needs his space’ are grounds for having his bedroom door removed for at least a week. As a result, Levi hoards whatever privacy he can get his hands on and despite a general easy going, caring and friendly attitude, he can be zealously reserved and secretive. Often, he says a lot without saying much at all.

The former middle child, Levi does hold a certain streak prone to dramatics, that comes out when he’s stressed, uncomfortable, upset or all of the above. Something he shares with some members of his house and, without a doubt, his unconscious way of asking for attention. He can be unforgiving and passive aggressive, particularly when he feels like he’s been slighted; when severely angered and in the face of rudeness, Levi will resort to laughter and sarcasm before quickly walking away. He is not intentionally cruel, but prefers honesty and transparency at all times, to the point of consciously sending his sensitivity chip on vacation now and again, if deemed necessary.

He possesses a single-minded determination that, frankly, blurs the line of hyper-focusing half of the time. Levi is dedicated, and stubborn, always up for a challenge and unwilling to back down, sometimes to his own detriment. He’s of the belief that Gryffindor courage can come in different shapes and forms, so he likes to say he’d think twice before jumping straight into danger. But there is doubtlessly a streak of recklessness in him that enjoys the thrill of what could sometimes be constructed as danger, either literally or figuratively. He tries to do the right thing, usually, though he’s not always successful.

Levi can go on and on about things he’s passionate about, and will not hesitate to hand out his opinions, whether they’ve been requested or not. He can be tiresome.

Parents: Dairine Kenning (née Harcourt), retired beater for Pride of Portree and Etienne Kenning, entrepeneur and owner of Dairine's, a high end restaurant in London.

Pets: None really, unless you count Declan’s tarantula and Althea’s scarab. And he doesn't.
Other relatives: Grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles.

Likes: In no particular order--Books, science, medical and health journals, transparency, whatever freedom Hogwarts offers him, his family, cars, his journal, his glasses, being opinionated, debates about social issues, philosophical debates, detailing all the ways in which someone is wrong especially if it's to their face, Cornish beaches, Caribbean beaches, working with his hands, dogs and cats as long as they are not his responsibility, proving people wrong, sleeping in (never happens), sleeping without dreaming (a rarity these days), full eight hours of sleep (same), getting a raise out of Althea, his friends, sneaking in and out of the common room, the library, coming up with plans to break into the restricted section of said library, Professor Camilla Stewart's face, Professor Hirsch’s competency, Healer Reed’s advice, homework, dynamic lessons, muggle and wizarding history, talking about muggle and wizard history, his study schedule, his bed, London, hugs, kissing, food, sometimes attention.

Dislikes: In no particular order--not being able to get into the restricted section of the library, being monitored 24/7, not being able to make his own decisions without consulting someone else first, having to explain himself to others, waking up early, not being taken seriously, Declan's executive decisions, anyone making decisions for him without consulting him first, unimaginative liars, people who don't understand the meaning of the word no, the feeling of inadequacy, explaining himself to others, invasions of his privacy, failure, wizards who use magic for even the most ridiculous things because they're too lazy to use their hands, people who don’t say what they mean, adults who treat him like a child, not being taken seriously, feeling ignored, walking on eggshells around certain people.
