Mouse
Kendall Charles Bennett (a.k.a. Mouse)
An eye is meant to see things. The soul is here for its own joy. A head has one use: for loving a true love. Legs: to run after. Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind, for learning what men have done and tried to do. Mysteries are not to be solved. The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why.-Jelaluddin Rumi, The Essential Rumi by Coleman Barks

Personal history
His mother, Sara Bennett, was a Draco Industries employee. She was human. His father, Laucian Amakiir, was an elf who was born in the mundane world. They were both killed when they attempted to smuggle information from the company to the growing rebellion. They decided that they would join the rebellion, but were caught. Mouse doesn't know the details of the events that led to their deaths, but he does know the broad strokes. He was 12 years old when his parents were killed.
Mouse has no siblings. He was raised with a fox, Moxie, that his father used magic to awaken so that the fox was intelligent. Moxie saved Mouse when their parents were attacked and killed by helping him sneak out of the house. The two of them have since made their own way in the world. They started out living on the street, but have since made enough of a living to have a small apartment.

Education
He was home schooled by his parents until he was 12 years old. After that, all his education has been informal and mostly through self study.
Employment
Mouse is a Cleric with a natural gift for healing. He makes most of his money with this skill set. His clients are usually Shadow Kind, but there is an occasional mundane that hears about his healing abilities that comes to him as well. He also makes money by doing tarot readings. He never charges for any of his services, but always accepts what others offer him.
Mental Trauma
Before he escaped, he witnessed his parents get shot. He still struggles with those memories.
Intellectual Characteristics
Has a strong need for patterns and sameness.
Morality & Philosophy
All objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Because of this, all creation is connected to and an important part of the Life Stream. All life is sacred and must be treated as such.
He is convinced that people need to honor and cherish the souls of cars, bedroom dressers, kitchen tables, bathrooms, computers, and much more. These ordinary objects are infused with spirits, and our mission is to welcome them as angels of change and renewal in our lives. Making connections between things and the life-giving energy of the universe is a spiritual practice involving attention, imagination, and creativity.
We consider objects to be inanimate and soulless, decry materialism as immoral, while the soul's fascination with things persists and continues to shape the world. As our vision of the sacred moves away from exclusive focus on saving individual souls, and toward the realization that we are inseparable from the material environment, the presence of earth angels, the spirits in all things, will reappear. . . .-Shaun McNiff

Religious Views

Nonmaterial things matter. In the long run, they may matter more than matter. Consider hope, for instance. Is hope real? You can't measure it, weight it, dissect it, photograph it, touch it, or taste it. You can't see it under the most powerful electron microscope. Is it real?-R. Wayne Willis, Hope Notes
