You are a very fascinating Leo for sure, because of nobility of spirit and worldly charm, which makes for a very interesting mixture. You possess self-regard, dash, and a magnetic presence that intrigues people without you needing to brag. Your Pisces inner being is a very kind, tender, and unselfish one but your Leo personality is ambitious, emphatic, aggressive, and attracted to leadership. This is rather a remarkable difference of aspects. Most Leo-Pisces people will elect to meet the needs of their egos first if they are made to choose the spiritual or the materialistic. You are really very pragmatic, matter-of-fact and shrewd in spite of your elevated ideals and humanitarian persuasions that are also present. While young, you were surely a romantic, affirmative and distressingly sensitive person; but slowly, after seeing the world as cruel and exacting, your innocence wore off. You came to realize that if you could adjust, you would prosper and this had a basic appeal to you. By nature, you are still good-hearted and considerate of others, but you will work very hard to get material comfort and status too. Few would ever guess how strong-willed and ambitious you really are underneath, because you are usually easy going, and your way of persuasion is so elusive and indirect. Because of this, you can succeed in business with your excellent ability to charm and impress others when that soft approach is most effective. Your elegant and sensitive being may attract you to the arts, however, even though you are clever in the business world. You set exacting standards for yourself. Sometimes you may be afraid of your own power to frighten people and you may feel guilty for using it. Your great imagination can make you tense. Many Leo-Pisces are bothered by imaginary sickness, and fear of the unknown. Stay active socially, because too much solitude will only make your fears worse. Be creative instead, with your vivid imagination. You love the stage, design and creativity in general. Most health fields and even being a doctor would be good choices. No matter how dedicated and motivated you are, you never lower your ethical standards because in all of your activities, as is the case with all Leos, you value honesty, loyalty and trust. You are very centered in that regard. You will aim your Leo fervency to assisting others and doing charitable work after you feel totally satisfied with your accomplishments and have satisfied your desire for luxury and comfort. You will move on then. Some problems for Leo-Pisces are often unnecessary. You may not feel completely comfortable with all those ambitious goals.
THE REBEL – idolized by
You’ve made a lasting impression the first time the two of you met, or so it seems. While they seem to idolize all the work you’re putting into your social life. While your powers are definitely helping, they seem to realize the entire potential you have, how you move people like chess pieces, how well you advertise your story to the world. Will you ever reveal your secrets? Well, they surely can try to get them out of you or die trying.
THE SELF-ABSORBED – interest
This particular Ascendant has always been interesting to you. They seem to follow their own ideals and desires, whatever those are, while simultaneously following the rules of the elite. But for how long? You believe them to be much more than they pretend to be – an interesting combination of mystery and danger.
THE DARK HORSE – former friend
They meant so much to you, at least they did once upon a time. Ever since they got involved with Pisces and therefore the water syndicate the two of you have drifted apart for good. You don’t know exactly what made them follow a similar path like you did, but you feel responsible for them, even though you still think you do not care at all.

The fairytale of Derya Kaplan begun before she was even born. Her mother, famous Turkish actress Aylin Kaplan, used to show off her pregnancy, sold the first pictures of newborn Derya to the press, her own hair already a fluffy, black cloud with beautiful blue eyes. Everyone doted on Derya and the way she so effortlessly soaked up all the attention without it getting to her head. Upon moving to the US at a very young age, the Kaplans were welcomed with open arms into the elite. Their fame was unmatched at home and word reached America in no time. Derya knew everyone who had something to say in Hollywood, enjoyed being a protege, to be seen and taken seriously at such a young age. They expected much and Derya intended to deliver a performance for the ages.
Wiling and ambitious, Derya smiled into the cameras knowing others would adore her just as much as her parents did. Her surname helped opening certain doors, but others were opened with her laughter, her innocence, lost with every new door being opened -- not against her will, but because everything she did served a sinister purpose. A quick learner, Derya understood those around her, manipulated them to her will, all while keeping a certain level of innocence. They were the ones to work and get their hands dirty while she reaped the benefits. Willing puppets on her strings, they begged for more with every new movie she starred in. Starting at 20, Derya found herself in need of a boyfriend to match her status. A mobster, that’s what he was, a charming young man with influential friends openly regarded as being a “bad boy”, not overly problematic, not a saint, either. He did nothing but look pretty on her arm, the roles switched, with her being the dominant one in their relationship. Their public stunt turned into pure obsession on his end.
A year later their relationship turned sour and her interest in him had vanished completely. To get away with him, Derya chose the easiest way out: by producing a scandal that would practically force him away from her. These rumors, however, turned him into a real monster. His already broken ego couldn’t take another blow, which is why he decided to publicly humiliate her. He’d waited for Derya in her apartment, blackmailed her with sex tapes he’d secretly filmed, got a little too handsy -- Derya decided to put on another performance for the ages. Whining, screaming, he let go of her the moment Derya’s scream echoed through the room. The moment he let go Derya moved towards the bed, grabbed the gun-- and the rest was history.
The Fire Syndicate covered up her involvement. He’d vanished, leaving her alone and unhappy -- and that was the end of it. They quickly realized her potential. A cold-blooded killer, ambitious, ready to climb the steps of fame, no matter the costs. And so she climgs til this day, one smile at a time, one new door opened, one new soul in her iron grasp.
