When they saw how much she enjoyed working with play doh and the amazing sculptures she could make they turned one of the out buildings into an art studio where they introduced her to clay and pottery making.

No matter what she was doing or working on Lea would always stop working and clean up long enough before mealtime that she could go into the kitchen and listen to the chef prepare the meal. Over time she started helping him out by letting him know when something was done cooking, or by letting him know that he had poured out too much of something, etc. After a while the chef started letting her do the measuring. Then, he put her in charge of cooking something each meal as he slowly grew her culinary skills.

"Not all who wander are lost."



Name: Klaus Kalogeropoulos

Age: 28

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual with a preference for men

Appearance: Klaus stands at about 6' tall and has a lean, thin body. His dark brown hair is typically styled back, but he occasionally forgets to care and it falls lazily around his pale face. His eyes are a dark brown to match, and his jawline is a narrow and angular one that is often dotted with stubble and sometimes a semi-full beard.

Personality: Klaus is not very patient with his students. However, a softer side can be seen when a student approaches him to talk one-on-one--assuming he doesn't think the student is trying to manipulate him in some way. Outside of the class room, he comes as very laid back and easy going, maybe even fun, but formal. He can be very charismatic and charming, as well. That said, he's not a particularly nice guy overall and doesn't really find the energy to care about people outside of his personal interests.

Subjects:
- Canvas Conveyer
- Will occasionally substitue Symphony Band

Short History: Klaus was born in Greece to a poor family, but he was all that motivated to do much to change his status. He simply picked up painting and piano and eventually found himself to be quite good at those things. As a result, he left home at only fourteen and traveled about, using his art skills to make the money he needed to get by.

At seventeen, he earned enough money to travel overseas and found himself in America. New York was far too busy for him, so he moved West. At the end of his teenage years, he became a US citizen, completed the GED, and entered higher education.

Now, he's a graduate and is teaching at Arts Academy for his first year. He doesn't have any plans so whether or not he'll stick around is up in the air.
