GENERAL APPEARANCE: Leonara's face is round-ish (as is her figure.) Her eyes are large and tend to dart this way and that, observing and wondering about everything that ever was. Her mouth is soft, edges pinched up ever so slightly when she stares into one's eyes. Her brow is strong, confident - grounding her face as her eyes twitch left to right. Leonara's figure might be considered average if any Muggle were to pass her on the street - yet to the elitist purebloods, she is a fat, useless thing (to their first impressions.) Still, she stands tall and certain before judging eyes. Her hands stay locked by her sides, fingers loose. The digits tap odd beats into the cloth cover her thigh - strange, she thinks, yet comforting. She's ready for the words of friends or foes - that is, if she can convince herself of that.

VERITASERUM:

MIRROR OF ERISED: Traveling the world and being in control of her own life

PERSONALITY: Leonara is a Hufflepuff - fiercely and stupidly loyal. She trusts before she checks - once she is loyal to someone, she will follow that person forever. Leo is naïve - she's known little of pain or suffering in her life. She is also a coward when sticking up for herself. Leonara likes to think herself confident, but is extremely insecure. She is still trying to decide where the line is between right and wrong. Leonara is a poet - she tends to randomly speak in rhymes.

Early Years: Leonara grew up in a middle-class home. Her parents, both magical, told her stories and tales of magic as she grew up. Her parents are both poets, so Leonara grew up hearing poetry as everyday speech. She spend the majority of her years venturing into their large backyard among the trees. Her friends were few - and to those who befriended Leonara, she clung onto with an iron grasp. To date, she had only one truly traumatizing experience in her childhood - during a small walk in her backyard, she watched as a bird fell from one of the cherry tree branches. The wings fell like the leaves - beautiful, elegant, strong - but as Leonara came closer to the bird, she saw that it's eyes were only bloody sockets. A squirrel, no doubt, and since then Leonara's daydreams are of the beautiful free falling - and her nightmares of the bloody eyeless bird. Still, Leonara lived a charming life with little worries and little drama.

MAIN CHARACTER: Leonara Lila Lynwood (first character)

PURPOSE OF CHARACTER: I love to write and I love to roleplay. Roleplaying inspires me in my own writing, as well.

Khaat Lupin wrote:Hey, Leonara!

Welcome!  We love new members.  Your writing is very good.  I just have a couple things

First, would you please change your user name to Leonara Lynwood please?  It needs to match your character's name.

Second, can you list her playby, please? That really is necessary.

Third, her boggart...eyes torn out? That's really graphic.  What's that about? Where does that come from for her?  Why is that so significant for her?
