Nickname: Lee

Age: 16

Birthday: April 30

School: Romano's

Hobbies:

Journaling- Leia's favorite part of journaling is the journals themselves. Standard issue spiral notebooks need not apply. Her favorite one has a cloth cover in a pastel paisley pattern, a leather strap to keep it from coming open, and a cute silver lock and key. Others can be found scattered throughout her room, however. The ones not used for schoolwork are filled with practical notes about her day, doodles, and the occasional emotional diary entry or poem.

Photography- Leia enjoys taking pictures. It's only for fun, so the best camera she has is the one on her smartphone, but she has a decent eye for it. Her subject matter of choice is nature, whether it's majestic mountain landscapes or a just wildflowers she found while walking through the park, but she only goes seeking that kind of thing out on special occasions. Most of the time, this is something she does when she's bored, so what she ends up with the most pictures of are her classmates, her friend's pets, and herself making silly faces.

Hiking- Leia's a nature lover who needs mountains and trees and things that are allowed to grow wild. Unfortunately, those things are not within walking distance of her home. The easiest way for her to get transportation to the mountains was to join the hiking club, so now she spends about a Saturday a month, during the nicer months, at least, walking through forests in search of overlooks, waterfalls, and a bit of fresh air. Now that she's more independent, she's started hiking a little on her own, which is better for clearing her mind and taking lots of pictures, but she likes the club as well, because she's gotten to know the people in it.


Virtues:

Observant- Leia has an eye for details. She goes through life with her eyes open, and so she notices the interesting things others overlook, like always appreciating those whispered sarcastic comments that aren't meant to be widely heard. She's great at jobs that require attention to small details, from photography to arranging outfits to making sure that there aren't any comma splices in her research essays. It also makes her reasonably good at reading people, especially people she knows. She's not a human lie detector by any means, but she can usually take hints about when someone's had a bad day and needs a hug or some space or whatever they prefer.

Loyal- If you can win Leia's trust, which takes a bit of time but isn't necessarily difficult, you've earned a loyal friend who will be there for you through both the good times and the bad. She always tries to make time for her friends, does little things to make their day brighter, and definitely isn't the type to abandon someone just because they're going through a rough patch, or she's going through a rough patch, or other people disapprove of the friendship, or any petty reasons like that. It would take a major betrayal to separate her and someone she cared about, and even then she might be willing to give them a second chance.

Careful- Leia doesn't like spending more energy than necessary, so in her opinion, things worth saying or doing are worth not messing up. That's not to say that she never makes mistakes, but she is the type of person who will set timers while she's cooking so she doesn't burn the food, obey all the traffic laws, always be wary of her surroundings, and double check everything, from the answers on tests she really needs to pass to whether or not the toaster is unplugged. She's careful with her words, too. She makes a conscious effort to think before she speaks and isn't one to chatter about things that are meaningless or boring.

Flaws:

Lazy- Leia really hates doing things sometimes. She's not a particularly high energy person, and the energy she does have goes into things she enjoys, like spending time with her friends or exploring a mountain. She avoids schoolwork, chores, and anything unpleasant as much as possible, mostly by procrastination that often turns into her just not doing them at all. Nobody really believes her anymore when she says she'll do things eventually, and it takes a lot of crackdown from people important to her for her to put effort into something like passing a class. This isn't a trait Leia's proud of, and she's been trying to change it, but no matter how many day planners she writes responsible schedules in, or notes she leaves on the computer telling herself to do her homework, half the times she'll just leave them unread and spend her evenings writing or on the internet.

Clingy- Once Leia likes someone, they are her best friend forever, and she'll always be trying to spend time with them and make them happy. Always. It can get annoying, especially at first, as there isn't much middle ground between acquaintance and close friend for her. Obviously, she can't force people to spend time with her. She'll leave someone alone if they tell her to, or if they get visibly upset, but it hurts her feelings a bit more than it should, and she usually ends up thinking it's because she did something wrong, which only makes it worse when she shows up later to apologize.

Insecure- Leia's brother just got a full ride scholarship to medical school. Her professional actress cousin vanished a few years ago under mysterious circumstances, which only made her more poplar somehow. Meanwhile Leia was taking the base level classes at a run down high school, getting constant lectures about how she's smart, but if she doesn't apply herself she might not even be able to get into college. This wasn't a new situation, either. She's been the failure of the family since she was pretty young, and it's taken its toll. Her self confidence is practically non existent. She doesn't feel like she's a successful person, or even a good person, and even though she tries her best, there are always people around her who are doing even better. She got fed up enough with it that she was willing to make a big life change just to to find an area where she could be special. It hasn't quite made a dent in the years of insecurity, though, or the bitter jealousy about the situation that is there right under the surface.
