Back to Joshua Levi

Joshua's third and youngest child, born in Nova Semite several years after the family settled in. A sickly child, the family was gravely concerned for the first years of his life that he would not make it to adulthood. The youngest of the family held on, however, though his body never seemed to fully recover from it's early development. By the age of five, a child's collection of sticks tuned to dedicated canes to releave his weak leg. At the same time, however, it became apparent that his mind did not suffer the same afflictions as hit body, and he quickly proved himself to be an astue learner and speaker, once one got past the seemingly everpresent stutter of a mind that just moved a little to fast for his mouth.

One now finds him more interested in the controlled, indoor spaces of the library or laboratory then out playing with the other youth, a bookish nature which is being nurtured for the good of himself and the covenant as a whole.
