please can we have some hcs about some things about leah that would surpise us (like about her past, or her personality, things she's said, done ... stuff like that)
Pre-phase, Leah's best subject in school was art. She absolutely loved mixed media, and she was getting much better at photoshop as well as most drawing software.
Post-phase, she becomes borderline obsessed with Biology. She wants to understand how and why it happens, the minute details and differences that cause a phase.
Total Daddy's girl, which is why Harry's death hit her so hard.
As soon as she feels her mom is settled, she wants to go to college to study biology and medicine. Someone besides a leech (even a "nice" one) should be able to treat her family, and she thinks it should be her.
Uses her art skills for evil. Photoshops Paul's face onto a photo of Sam without a shirt, making each of his abs a tiny Paul. Photoshopped Seth onto the sun from Teletubbies.
Joke was on her, though, cause Seth loved it.
She's overprotective of Seth, but of her mother, too. When Sue starts dating Charlie she keeps a keen eye on him for weeks.
She was well-liked in school, and when Sam started disappearing all the time she had tons of support from her friends.
Pre-phase Leah was the quintessential teenage girl, participating in several school clubs and sports. Total track star.
Signs every petition put in front of her, and used to force Sam to, too.
"Come on, your signature can only help. Want me to forge it for you? Cause I will." All while stabbing him with the pen.
She had begun tagging along to council meetings with her dad before she phased, setting out the chairs, arranging refreshments. She knew he loved it.
She was happy and free, loved to run, loved to draw, loved to chat on the phone with anyone who'd listen.
Post-phase Leah missed that girl sometimes, but once she got over Sam, she got a lot of her back. In between classes, she'd doodle at the campus cafe, she tried out for the college track team.
She starts tagging along to council meetings again whenever she's home, this time with her mom.
She had always been so much closer to Harry, but she and Sue formed the deepest of connections in his loss.
They leaned on each other, and when they found they could stand alone, they leant anyway, content to enjoy each other like they hadn't since Leah was young.
She plays too many video games with Seth, but she'll let him win a round every now and then, just to keep him interested.
She makes fish fry on Sundays. Charlie always tells her it's exactly like her Dad's. She's starting to like Charlie a bit.
When she graduates, she wants to open her practice on the reservation, so that she can provide services to the tribe, first and foremost.
Leah was a free-spirit who got trapped by heartbreak on so many sides, but broke out of it with some help. She's the strongest person almost anyone knows.
Seth says so all the time.
