DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Her eyes are an unusual shade of green, so green that they sometimes look teal.
PHYSICAL APPEARENCE:

Standing at 5’7”, Leah has been told that she is the exact image of the typical “girl next door,” with soft and angelic looking facial features. Her skin is fair and smooth, with no visible signs of typical teen year blemishes. Splashes of freckles are also quite visible across her rosy cheeks and the bridge of her small, slightly turned up nose, which give her a look of innocence. Her bright green eyes are close set and almond shaped, and tend to reflect my emotions. Her eyelashes are long and dark, and enhance the colour of her eyes. Straight, white teeth are concealed behind full, pink lips when she smiles.

Her hair is long, blonde, and falls just below her breasts. She usually wear it loosely draped over her shoulders in either a straight or slightly wavy style, though she does sometimes pin it back either in a ponytail or some other kind of hairstyle to keep it out of her face on hotter days. She usually wears her bangs swept to the right side of her oval-shaped face. No matter what she does with her hair, however, it always smells faintly of flowers, which is how most people know that she's entered a room. She's also very petite, and has minimal curves and a strong posture. She's also very slender thanks to all those visits to the gym, and people tend to underestimate her strength because of her small build.

CLOTHING STYLE:

Over the years, Leah's developed a bigger love of make-up, but doesn't take it to the extreme that some of her classmates do. She only uses enough to enhance my soft facial features. Now that she's older, she's also developed new tastes in clothing/fashion, and her favourite outfits are usually made up of designer jeans, a sweater or tank top, and either sandals or sneakers depending on the weather. She does own skirts and dresses (also designer) too, and enjoys combining her clothes to make amazing outfits. Basically, she dresses to impress..

  STRENGTHS: One of Leah’s biggest strengths is her loyalty. Her friends and family mean the world to her, and she would never intentionally do something to hurt them. She will also do anything and everything she can to protect them and keep them from harm. She is also extremely loyal to her pack, even though she can’t stand being part of it most of the time. Her loyalty also shows through when it comes to her beliefs and values, and staying true to herself. Her philosophy is that if someone cannot accept her for who she is, then that person was not meant to be in her life anyway. She refuses to change herself to please others, and if they don't like it then it’s just too bad. Living through the experiences that she has had helped her learn how to sort out the people who belong in her life, and the people who don’t.
  
  Patience is another virtue that Leah holds, staying faithful to those she loves. She never allows herself to become frustrated or stressed out, and will never lose her temper over something minor. Determination and motivation also contribute to that patience, as displayed by Leah’s refusal to give up on anything that she truly wants, even after many failures.
  
  Leah is also very strong-willed. Being able to put up with the pain and heart ache that she’s experienced for the last few years of her life has made her a much stronger person inside. She has the ability to move on with her life even after living through traumatic and damaging experiences and can stay strong in front of others, something that takes a lot of inner emotional strength and is not easy for most people. It is this trait that people admire most about her.
  
  WEAKNESSES: Despite her many strengths, Leah’s biggest weakness is her heart. Though she does not wear it on her sleeve, exposed to the outside world, it does cause her a lot of pain. She allows herself to fall fast and hard, and it usually ends up leaving her broken hearted in the end. That also comes from how trusting she is of people. It makes her a very vulnerable individual, and though she has gotten better at controlling these two traits, they are still a problem sometimes.
  
  Despite her kind nature, Leah can also express a slight temper when she is in a situation that she either does not like. In those kinds of situations, she tends to lash out and snap at anyone that is unfortunate enough to cross her path. She also has a tendency to be brutally honest when dealing with people she likes and dislikes. If she dislikes someone or something, she won’t hesitate to express her dislike, and that can sometimes get her into trouble because she does not think about the feelings that may be on the line. It is for this reason that Leah sometimes comes off as such a bitter and cynical young woman. This also brings an inability to listen to both sides of an argument into the picture.
  
  Because of the things that have happened in Leah's life, she has also become a very closed off person and does not allow herself to get close to anyone for fear that she will lose them. This trait often becomes a great source of trouble for Leah herself, and for the people that matter most in her life. Likewise, she is unable to find it within herself to forgive someone easily once she feels that she has been personally hurt. Her strengths are often hindered by her lingering resentment towards people who have hurt her, or people that she cares about, and the desire to get even sometimes overwhelm her otherwise rational thoughts.
  
  GOALS:
  • To graduate and go to an Ivy League school
    
  • To finally find a guy that's worth her time and energy
  
  FEARS:
  • Being alone for the rest of her life
    
  • Losing another loved one to death
  
  HABITS:
  • Bites her nails when she's nervous
    
  • Twirls her hair when she's bored
  
  OVERALL PERSONALITY:
  

  Leah is a forceful and independent young lady, who is both energetic and lively. Anyone who has known her for a long period of time can see that she is very spirited. From an early age, she proved that just because fate may deal her a crappy hand, did not mean that she was going to cry her heart out and hold back when it came to overcoming the obstacles life put in her path. Under the guidance of her parents and their relentless over-protection, encouragement, and advice, she has grown into a fiercely loyal, passionate, and unrelenting young woman.
  
  Leah’s life is guided solely on her gut instinct, beliefs, and love of her family and friends. She is willing and enthusiastic to jump in at a moment's notice, or to drop whatever she is doing to ensure that someone she loves has a shoulder to cry on or has someone to talk too. While her first instincts often come off as powerful, rash, and maybe a bit too strong, she has the ability to reign in her anger and frustration and focus on the needs of another when the need arises. When the people in her life have a problem, she always listens whole heartedly, then proceeds to give out rather impressive and knowledge advice for someone her age. She is caring and compassionate by nature, just as she is a strong force in all other areas of life.
  
  Many people find Leah a bit abrasive and cold, and truthfully she can be. She has no patience or desire to list off the details of her life, or to put up with people or situations that she has already decided she dislikes. Standing on neutral ground is a hard concept for her to grasp, along with any sort of idea that is ultimately different from her own. In her mind, her side is the only side and she will rarely bother to listen to those who feel differently; her will to stand up to anyone and everyone, whether friend or enemy, also comes from this. Once she is angered it takes her a rather long time to either apologize or speak to the person in question in order to resolve the issues she has with him/her. She is one of those people who takes everything to heart, and finds it hard to trust people again once they have hurt her or broken her trust. She grew up in a town whose principal values were money and physical beauty, and she loved every minute of it. That also shaped her into a bit of a narcissist who speaks her mind, always gets what she wants, and never has any regrets.
  
  Over the years, Leah has also become much more motivated and determined for success. She strives to prove to that she is perfectly capable of doing anything that she sets her mind too, and has become very confident and sure of herself. She finds it hard to trust people, and there are very few people she actually likes. She is, however, friendly to those she does like, and rude to those she doesn’t. She is stubborn and independent, and prefers to do things on her own. She doesn’t care what others think about her. She lives her life with the firm belief that anything that has happened to her in the past has just made her a stronger person.

HISTORY:

Leah Nicole Harris was born on June 17th as the second child to Andrew and Lorraine Davis. Her older brother, Carter, was not exactly thrilled that his new sibling was a sister, but as he got used to her presence, he slowly warmed up to her. Growing up in Los Angeles, California meant that Leah was raised in a world full of wealth, fashion and material objects. Most children that grew up in her neighborhood were spoiled rotten by their parents, and Leah and Carter were no exception.

With her blonde hair, angelic face and bright green eyes, Leah was always an adorable little girl, often earning her parents compliments and praises about their daughter and as the years passed, she blossomed into a beautiful young woman. There was not a day that passed when she would walk down the street or the hallways of her high school and not turn a few heads, a fact that gave her a lot of self-confidence and self-esteem. She hated to admit it but it felt good knowing that she was being noticed, even if it was only for her looks and not her personality. At the age of 14, Leah met a boy named Heath, who had been assigned as her partner for a Romeo and Juliet assignment in their English class. With his dark hair and green eyes, Heath was definitely a looker and Leah was glad to have him as a partner. After being forced to spend so much time together working on their project, the two got closer and eventually started dating, much to the jealousy of both boys and girls who had been hoping to snag both Brooke and Heath for themselves.

They were the perfect couple and were exceptionally happy, steadily dating for two years. Once they'd both received our driver's licenses, it just made things that much easier for them. Then one night, everything changed. That night, Leah had been cheerleading at one of her high school football games and Heath had been playing in it. Earlier in the evening, she was getting ready to go when she suddenly got this bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She wasn't sure why, but it wouldn't go away, so she got naturally worried. But, when Heath arrived and assured her that everything would be fine, she got into the car and seemed to forget about her bad feeling. It was while Heath and Leah were driving home from the game and were heading back to Leah's house so that she could change into something more comfortable for the party they were going to that night that she finally figured out what the bad feeling was about. The young couple were passing through an intersection as a drunk driver did the same, crashing into them and sending them into a nearby wall. As the car hit the wall, Leah blacked out.

Two days later, Leah woke up in the hospital with hardly any memory of what had happened after the crash. She had been badly bruised and bloodied, and could only remember hitting the wall as Heath's hand grabbed her's tightly as if he wasn't going to let go. When she woke up, her mother's face greeted her and she immediately asked about Heath, though the response she got was not the one she had been expecting. With fear on her face, Leah watched as sadness crossed her mother's face and she slowly informed her daughter that Heath had been killed in the accident and that Leah herself had barely survived. After that, Leah wandered around school like a zombie, not interested in dating anyone else since, as far as she was concerned, her heart had died with Heath. After a few months of seeing her suffer through a major stage of depression, Leah's parents decided that it would help her get over Heath's death if she left Los Angeles for a little while. They had heard about a school in Trenton, and decided that it would be the perfect place to send Leah to finish high school and get a fresh start.

When told the news, Leah was not exactly happy about leaving her hometown, but she agreed that a fresh start might be a good thing. So, two weeks later, her bags were packed and she found herself on a plane. Upon arrival in Trenton, she immediately felt a longing for Los Angeles but tried her best to stay strong. It would be hard to start high school in a new place at the age of 16, but she was determined to make it work and that's exactly what she did. Though she's settled into life in Trenton and has started her senior year, she still sometimes misses home and but helps herself get over it by keeping herself busy with her friends, occasional parties and a boyfriend here and there. Now, all she wants is to make it through her last year, maybe find someone who cares enough to break down the walls around her heart and continue to try and live her life as best as she canthe way she did two years ago, before the accident that changed her life forever happened.
