Character Summary in Story Form:
Jack O’Donnell was born to an elven mother and human father in 1960 in Derry, Ireland. He lived with both parents until he was 5, when his mom went missing. His elven genes didn't physically manifest themselves until he was 13 years-old. Jack panicked when he noticed his ears pointing out, and demanded his father tell him what was happening. His father told him that he was half-elven due to his full elven mom. They met when she had left the realm of Lemuwa to explore the human world. When he was 5, his mom left to go back to Lemuwa. Jack didn't take the news of these revelations very well. He left his father and searched for his mother in the realm called Lemuwa, the two things that Jack saw responsible for making him a freak. But once he entered Lemuwa, he realized it’s cultural variety and magical teachings, which he later warmed up to. He lost his desire for revenge and attended Lemuwa’s School of Magical Essentials under the Blade House. During his years as a student, he grasped the Elven language but liked his Irish accent more. After his graduation, Jack bought the candy shop from which he was working for at the time. He changed the name to “Jack’s Sugar Shack” and has owned it ever since. Recently, the Headmistress has requested him as substitute Potions Master at LSME. Since he is skilled with foods and potions at his workplace, he should have no problem teaching a potions class to students.
