Zach Cooper

Zachary "Zach" Cooper is the older brother of Finn Cooper. He represents the "man of the house" ever since his parents died. He serves as the legal guardian and caregiver to his brother.

Physical Description
Zach is large young man, about 6"2 in height, with broad shoulders and visibly well-muscled arms. His hair is black and closely-cropped, as opposed to Finn's unruly, straw-blond hair. He also has a large nose and "coffee-colored" eyes. He looks older than his actual age, which is around nineteen or twenty.

For most of his life, Zach was near-sighted and wore horn-rimmed glasses in order to see. However, after a trip to the Springs of Healing, his vision was improved to the point that he no longer needs glasses.

Personality
"... a guy who had to grow up too fast; no one his age should have to deal with this stuff."

~Finn about his brother

Zach is, in short, both a mother and father for his younger brother. He loves him dearly, though has a bit of a weird way of showing it. Instead of being caring and understanding, he acts stern and overprotective of him. However, this is only because he doesn't want to lose them to a foster home. He also is a big impact on his brother. He doesn't goof around often, though has been seen teasing Finn on occasion.

Unlike his younger brother,  Zach is far less able to control his temper and emotions, as well as the fact that he is far less calm, reasonable and patient, and far more prone to bouts of rage. He often failed in his efforts to control his temper when dealing with setbacks or criticism, resulting in angry outbursts that frighten even his brother, who himself was immensely brave.

Nonetheless, he is protective of his family, particularly Finn, and will attack anyone and defend him from any threat. He loves Finn more than anyone or anything in the world and does all he can to keep him from harm. He is kind and hardworking, and she proves that while she is somewhat irritable and ill-tempered, he can also be compassionate and understanding as she usually forgives his brother for his mistakes.

He is very mature and wise for someone his age and the voice of reason, possibly as a result of losing his parents, having to grow up and be independent at such a young age, as she is shown to teach Finn important life lessons, such as taking responsibility for his actions and being himself.
