Backstory
Pre-Fey
Kija doesn’t remember much before he was taken to the fey realm. He knows he had an older brother who took care of him and was very nice. His older brother told him to be careful about the Feeorin woods that were nearby and most of the time the four year old listened.

Fey Kidnapping
The Feeorin woods were dangerous. Kija’s older brother had told him that so many times. Over and over and over. The child had stayed away from the woods and never ventured to them. One night he heard a knocking on his window along with the sound of high-pitch laughter. The second he opened the window to see what was going on, a fey man snatched him from his room and took off for the fey realm.

Skab was the name of the fey. He put Kija to work, giving him a sewing needle that would force the holder to sew clothes on his command. The clothes would be sewn with expertise, even if the wielder is no more than a four year old child. Unfortunately it was only effective with young children and Kija had been the only child born within the last 50 years near the Feeorin forest.

Kija was kept there for a year, sleeping in a small room and fed decently. Skab decided to give the child some gifts to help his survival in the fey realm. The gift of speech to make communication with his precious worker easier and the gift of fey knowledge so the child would know what was dangerous and what wasn’t. Of course, these gifts were not for free and he took Kija’s sense of direction and any handwriting skills he would ever have as compensation.

Whenever Kija misbehaved or didn’t finish sewing enough pieces, he would be sent to bed without dinner. Skab kept a collection of dolls to watch Kija at all times and if he stopped working the dolls would come to life and make him work. When Kija annoyed Skab by forgetting to knock or not reciprocating gifts, he simply gave the boy two minor curses to “fix” the issue.

The Escape
During his captivity under Skab, he met a white cat who was in a similar position. The cat had to hunt at least five hundred mice in order to receive a name. Kija offered up a name to the cat for free, calling him “Mups”. Now known as Mups, the cat decided that they both needed to escape Skab and helped the child find an old mirror that would teleport them both back to Kija’s old home. They waited until Skab was fast asleep then escaped through the mirror.

Return Home
When Kija returned home with his new cat Mups, he found a crumbled home. The four walls of the cottage had fallen years ago and left nothing but the foundation behind. Kija knew that this was his home but there was nobody there. To him, the trip to the fey realm was only a year. For everyone else, it had been three hundred years. He was later adopted by the Terrowin family.

Personality/Attributes

Personality/Attitude:
Hoarder: If it's shiny or looks interesting he MUST have it. Whether it's a coin, jewelry, an acorn, a stick, a piece of glass, or anything else. In fact he hoards it all as much as possible. He just takes it without concern of who it once belonged to.
Curious: Kija is naturally curious about the world and everything in it. He just wants to know more and won’t stop asking questions about everything. Sometimes he will just stare into space or go off on his own to satisfy this curiosity.
Needy: Kija is constantly requiring attention and support. He is desperate to keep the people he likes around him at all times. If someone leaves without putting another person he likes in their place, he will have a meltdown and won’t stop until someone is giving him that attention.
