appearance.

Leah has a very 'sweet' appearance to her. Her nose is slightly upturned, and her skin tone is a light olive tone. She has dark brown hair with matching, round eyes. Her lips aren't as full as she'd like them to be, but she thinks that they suit her quite well. As for her frame, she's pretty average. She's not stick-figure thin, but nor is she overweight. She's just.. there. She stands at the height of five feet and five inches, which is also quite normal.

Leah used to be quite ethereal looking in appearance while she was a child. She used to wear dresses all the time and had been taught proper etiquette. But through the years, her appearance has also altered. She no longer wears fancy dresses, but instead tee shirts and jeans, just like any other girl that's her age. She walks with an air of class and grace about her, which can be attributed to the lessons she had been placed in when she was a child and the ones she continued into her adulthood.

personality.

Leah is a Papa's girl. She loves the rest of her family, yes, but it was her Grandfather that taught her how to play the organ when she was three and he got her to perform for them every family holiday and such. He was the one that opened her up to performing, and she can't thank him enough for showing her how wonderfully amazing it can truly be.

Leah is a relatively content person. It really doesn't take too much for her to open up to other people, and once she does she could either be the best or most annoying person you will ever meet. She is genuinely sweet, and rarely wishes ill on people.

Despite being far too quiet for her own good at times, she has a small issue with trusting other people. The only people she truly trusts is her family. This could be a possible reason as to why she has yet to find and fall in love. She's naive in many ways, and can be gullible if the other person is convincing enough. She's sweet and cares for just about everyone as long as she hasn't a disliking to them. But even if she is outgoing? Shyness can also overcome her in certain situations, especially involving her musical talents. She can come off as timid at first, and will only show her true nature when the shell has been broken off.

But she wants to be swept off of her feet. She wants to be married, and she wants to be in love. But the only real thing she had fallen in love with was the music her band produced, and growing closer to them each day.

Dancing is Leah's passion though, and while it wasn't always her primary goal to become a dancer? It's a wonderful thing to be involved in and she feels so free while she's in costume and dancing. It makes the entire world slip away and her problems just disappear - it's a wonderful sensation that she wouldn't exchange for anything else in the world.

history.

Leah Marie Hale was born as the only child to her pair of parents on the 16th of May in the year of 1989. They were living in Michigan at the time, but when Leah turned three, they moved out to New York City, since her father's family was back there. To ease Leah into the move quicker, they got her a kitten by the name of Mittens. She was white with grey flecked fur, and bright green eyes.

Her grandfather in New York City had taught her how to play the organ when she moved there, but she didn't have much of a talent for it, though it did open her up to the artistic side of life. She learned to appreciate the other side of things, but that wasn't until later in her life. When she was seven, her parents enrolled her into dance lessons, wanting her to experience everything that she could while she was still young, and luckily enough? Dance seemed to be the winner with her.

But Leah's true story begins when she was a freshmen in high school, and when she met James Conner. He had had this wonderful British accent whenever he spoke - which really wasn't much because he was so quiet. She really didn't think much of him - until he came to one of the school productions she was in.

The school was putting on The Sound of Music, and Leah had been casted as the lovely Liesl Von Trapp, and during the number 'Sixteen Going on Seventeen', she had noticed that James was in the audience. Probably dragged there, she thought bitterly to herself as the song ended, and she bustled off to the wings for her next scene. But that hadn't been the case, it seemed, because soon after? They had become friends and formed their own band. ONCE YOU POP. Apparently James had taken inspiration from a Pringles container. Boys.

Since then, the two have become the best of friends, and Leah couldn't imagine her life to be any other way now, not without James, at least. He knows everything about her, and she tells him everything. James and her lead the vocals for the band, and together they've made a rather 'indie' sort of sound together. Since their high school days of being a garage band, they have gained two more members, both male, and have become fairly known for their unique sound - mainly around the teens who hang around myspace a lot. But unfortunately they were never picked up and to pay for her dance lessons and the bills, she got a job at a local ballet studio as an instructor.

It was a year and a half later before the job position for the Nausicaä came about and after going through a series of auditions she got the phone call that she had been accepted to perform on the ship. It wasn't Broadway by any means, but it was a start, at least.

strengths and weaknesses.

Personal Weaknesses:
• Jealous. If someone sings better than her, her self-esteem can plummet.
• Naive. Normally she catches onto schemes pretty quickly and doesn't fall for things. but if someone is an excellent liar? She'll more than likely fall for it.
• Obsessive-Compulsive. She has this need for certain things to be done a certain way, and it can really start to annoy people once they deal with her for long enough.
• Insecure. Sometimes she'll glance around at other girls and realise that she really isn't that pretty to herself, regardless of what other people may say. It's something she needs to work out and get over for herself.
• Emotional. Some things can just really set her off and she'll start crying. She thinks of herself as a strong person, but there's only so much you can do.
• She suppresses her feelings of anguish. If something is bothering her, she has the tendency to let it all build up until she's to the exploding point.

Personal Strengths:
• Optimistic. She is the type of person to try and find the good in anything, and everyone. It's just a shame that things don't always work out in such a way.
• Independent. She likes to consider herself independent, and able to take care of herself.
• Conservative. She always dresses to cover herself, and really thinks that most of the clothing today that girls dress in is just too inappropriate.
• Easy to Talk to. Leah is someone who is naturally conversational, and can talk just about anything unless she's painfully nervous.
• She's not outgoing, but she's also not painfully shy, either. She won't go out of her way to purposely make someone notice her unless they're worth it. But she won't just sit and bite her tongue, either.
• She's absolutely addicted to vanilla pudding. It's such a weird quirk that not many people know this about her, but it's her one true weakness.
• Caring. She cares a lot about people close to her, in general. And if someone she doesn't know gets hurt or something, she'll try to help them to the best of her ability.
• Talented. Leah has this extraordinary voice that many people wouldn't expect to come out of her since she is usually dancing and rarely gets a chance to showcase her other talent.
