Cooper can be a bit of a contradiction. Whimsical one moment and terribly analytical and critical in the next. Outgoing, openhearted, and open-minded...Cooper tends to put the needs and wants of others above himself and not always as a misguided act of selflessness but rather it serves as a defense and method of avoiding confronting his own dilemmas and demons. Despite his deep yearning to establish long meaningful, emotional connections with other people, he also has the tendency to overly romanticize certain ideals and puts up gentle defenses to protect himself and his heart which so often manifest themselves in overthinking. Often taking introspective to the extreme, he feels as though he can only truly express himself through his photography (exclusively black and white, save for rare occasions) and storytelling (formerly known as the Bard of Ravenclaw Tower during his Hogwarts days). A natural behaviorist, he often suffers from social stress (the majority of which is self induced) and will read into and psychoanalyze other's behaviors and actions to the point of exhaustion (both for himself and all other parties involved).
