Winter is a nit, which means she has a special talent (the talent of freezing things). They later realized their true destiny in the world. Then he met the love, and best friend of his life, Winter. Since Addy had been terrified of Leven's possible friends coming to steal from her, Leven had been forbidden to hang around with other kids, so he had been alone for a long time - until he met Clover, which was the first domino in a set of dominoes that were adventures in his life. He enjoyed counting stars and tracing long branches of the tree that was Geth. So from when he was little, he had slept in an old bed at the back porch of their trailer house. His new parents wouldn't stand to hear Leven talk or fuss. She had been snappy and mean, and took him away. Then his mother's half-sister, Addy Graph, came by to pick him up. As he lay as an orphan, the nurses and doctors had debated on what to do with him. His father had died in a car accident a week before Leven had been born. His mother, Maria Thumps, died in childbirth, shortly after naming him. Lev had been born on October fifteenth, at 2:30 in the morning. He has a patch of white hair, which his guardians said had come when he had been frightened out of his wits one night. Leven is often called Lev, and his eyes burn gold when he uses his gift.
