Leah Ratliff

High School Senior Journalist Leah Ratliff. That's what a feminist looks like. "Looks like you took names and kicked ass. Knew you would." I killed the Blood Countess Elizabeth Bathory. I don't give a damn about the mainstream trends. San Griento, California. Roleplay Blog based on Chastity Bites. AU and OC friendly. Will RP with any fandom. Just shoot me a starter and we'll see where it goes. Twitter: kickassfeminist

Leah turned to look at her, eyebrows raised. She brushed a strand of hair out of her face, trying to get her messy ponytail back in place. "I’m sorry? What was that about my head and…. Just what did you say?"

The old place gots a mind of it’s own from time to time— ” More like every once in the while the two ghosts that called the shop there home would become mischievous and chose to raise a little cain (wreak some havoc) on the patrons of shop. 

[tooknameskickedass]

Leah raised her eyebrows and looked around. Whatever this place was, it definitely shook her curiosity awake. She had a feeling there was something hidden here, and she wasn't about to just forget about it and move on. Leah Ratliff officially found something new to write about, meaning she wouldn't back down now.

Leah just couldn’t help it. Something about that woman was off. She didn’t quite knew what. And all of the other girls seemed to strangely like her. But that wouldn’t keep her interrogating. She took a quick step forward, blocking the woman’s way. "But I’m sure as a…...

[tooknameskickedass]

The girl could see that the woman was annoyed. But she really couldn't care less. She wanted to become a journalist after all. She would deal with this kind of attitude towards her often enough in her life. This was a good training. And she certainly wouldn't back down so easily. She would get her information, no matter if she'd get it directly from the strange woman or if she'd have to find another way. Right now she just noticed once again what a reputation her own name already carried. And she was proud about it. That new so-called principal just totally misinterpreted it. "You're correct with most of that. The name's Leah Ratliff. Journalism is my passion and, if I'm lucky, my future. I have my own opinion and I'm not afraid to scream it out into the world. Our cafeteria is a damn crime scene, so nobody can blame me for that. I'm specifically more interested in emancipation and feminism though. Or in our new transfer principal. I have others to write about those little holidays for me. But I like to investigate mysteries myself. And you definitely belong into that category."

Don’t look to anyone else to tell you what you should like, or what you should wear, or who you should be. You have to listen to yourself. You have to present yourself in a way that makes you feel beautiful from the inside out.

Love this quote, love our leading lady — and we especially love that this Chastity Bites fan page exists! <3

(via chastitybites) Why, thank-you. What I love about Scags as well as Leah, is that they are original. We're living in a world were most people behave like Hiltons in training. They all pretend to be different, to be special. Allison Scagliotti doesn't have to play being special, she simply is. She's the queen of her own world, but she still is her own perfection in this real world. She's an idol for me because she shows us that you can be both: yourself and perfect. Just too many people have a wrong definition of perfection. We don't need another Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Angelina Jolie or what all of their names might be. We can't be perfect for everyone, but we can be perfect for the ones who really matter. To us, not to society. Young girls should rather look up to strong women like Allison. All in all, you've got the perfect cast and crew! I always adored Allison. And through this terrific movie, I'm a proud fan of Francia Raisa { therealfrancia } , Louise Griffith and Eddy Rioseco now.

Originally, Leah had come to spend her vacation in The Badlands because she’d heard rumors that there was something going on here. And she was sure there was. But the people in this middle-of-nowhere town weren’t exactly chatty. They were strange, yes, but not as strange...

[tooknameskickedass]

When Leah noticed the stranger's eyes wandering to her hand she suspiciously raised her eyebrows. "What? What's wrong with my hand?" She sighed and took a deep breath in. Concentration. Balance. Collecting information before judging. That had always been her problem. Judging too fast. "Alright. Look, I don't know what's happening here. I've seen a lot of weird things, but this is new. I don't know who you are. All I can tell you is that my name is Leah. Leah Ratliff, from San Griento, California. I'm only here for my vacation."

"Oh, come on Griff! It's just for my blog! You know me: I'll change the names to protect the guilty. A journal is the perfect method to gain information about the dumbness of today's socialization. No offense to you."

"You should be in class instead of hounding me for questions. As I said before, I am a transfer principal. The last one couldn’t handle the pressures." Of her hands squeezing her eyes from its sockets, but the young held no right to knowing the truth. "Now, if that’s all, I have some work to complete."

[tooknameskickedass]

Leah just couldn't help it. Something about that woman was off. She didn't quite knew what. And all of the other girls seemed to strangely like her. But that wouldn't keep her interrogating. She took a quick step forward, blocking the woman's way. "But I'm sure as a... 'transfer principal', you could as well spend some time for an article in our paper that's about you after all. I mean we barely know anything about you. You're from Europe, right? Which partner of Europe?"

"Um, why do you look like me?" She asked with wide eyes.

But the people in this middle-of-nowhere town weren't exactly chatty. They were strange, yes, but not as strange as the picture she saw when she looked up now. "I.... I could ask you the same!" Leah knew she had a habit of judging people too fast, but she'd been right with Batho after all. Without her skepticism, she'd be dead now.

I feel I’ve gained a logical perspective on the frustrating standards of Hollywood, as well as a perspective on my own insecurities. With all the pressure to stay thin, tan, and beautiful, I’ve learned that the only true validation can come from within. I don’t have to depend on my job or the men in my life to sustain my self-esteem. I’m going to keep looking for the famous women of my generation to step up. In the meantime, I’m going to continue to seek out roles like the one I enjoy playing so much now: strong, smart, and ultimately individual. I may not be a celebrity yet, but I promise to never become famous for fame’s sake, but an artist for Allison’s sake. This is what a feminist looks like.

         ”Okay, okay, no need for that!”

[tooknameskickedass]

Even on vacation, Leah Ratliff was always looking for a story. She wanted that whole journalism thing to work out after all. But so far this place pretty much bored her to death. Okay, after her last great story maybe she shouldn't say it like that. You could never know. She turned around and looked at the stranger, curiosity sparking in her brown eyes. "No need for what?"
