Leah (Leyweaver) is a quiet, studious, and usually isolated young woman with an amazingly high interest and intellect regarding to aetherial manipulations and other various forms of magickial phenomenon. She was born and raised in Hyrstmill, a village settled within the northern area of the Black Shroud close to the capital city, Gridania. Leah shy nature was an outcome due to her sheltered upbringing. As a young girl her mother kept her within the house, fearing over many things that could possibly harm her daughter ever since the unfortunate passing of her first child, Leon. As such. Leah preferred the company of books over the other children, finding the world of magic far more welcoming that the realities of a child, as well as soon fearing others completely unknown to her.

She was trained at the Conjurers Guild at a young age at the behest of her mother, and became skilled in their healing arts at age 16. She then left Gridania and the Black Shroud, filled with wanderlust and yearned to see the World. She spent many moons within a Miqo'te mixed pride acting as a stay in healer and magical adviser, yet the constant tension and infighting frustrated and discomforted her which caused her to run from the drama. For weeks she had wandered without a home, work, or gil to her name.

With the aid of a very old friend that had bumped into her, with the kindness of fate, she had found herself both a new home and a new purpose, a new reason for her existence. She is now appointed as leader and magister to the magical healing, support and reasearch division of the hunting collective.

Appearance & Personality

In appearance; Leah is a young, thin woman with snow-white skin. She has long, raven-black hair, though some hints of gray areas can be spotted due to stress, which she can usually be seen tied in a high pony-tail with a braided semicircular formation underneath. She bares the heterochomia gene, having two different colored eyes; A left blue eye and a right green eye.

With personaity; Leah is very shy and is usually seen in very modest clothing, anything that covers her entire body in public and shows very little skin aside her head or hands, usually a form of mage's robe or something would hint of a sorcerous nature. Only among those she consider friends would they see her in a bathing suit were they to swim, but that would be to that extent.

Leah is a very shy but sweet, caring girl. Her timid nature was most likely a product of her very sheltered upbringing. She has little to no experience dealing with others as a child. Quiet would be a good trait to describe her, for she rarely is seen among the public locales and very rarely stay are one crowded area for too long, lest comforted by the presence of friends. When she speaks, she would form unusual wording from the norm and were it be a first-encounter with a stranger, she would stutter greatly. If more than one stranger approaches her and she is not among friends, she more than likely will flee from the unknown group.

Alas, like all, she has her flaws. Being sheltered and raised to be an expected good girl caused her to bottle up her emotions whenever she feels wrong or thinks something or someone is off or wrong in order to make others happy. She successfully kept them in check, though there will be the rare occasion when she explodes, whether it be over something petty or when she could not take it. Unfortunately, this has happened on a few events where it did a lot more harm than good, something which she will regret always. Along with bottled up emotions that sometimes come and go, she can come across as neurotic; always overthinking things and reading into the littlest of details too much.

Recently, she has slowly processed a self-loathing mindset, believing she could be better than she was. Multiple mistakes of the past, her prolonged isolation, and the stress of the present invokes a state of depression in her being that has been happening every so often. This cause her to be extremely quiet ( more so than normal ) and would often disappear from her homestead without notice until appearing the next morning, acting as if all is well. Rarely will she admit or make others know of this, for she believe herself insignificant compared to the other and is ment to aid others, not for others to aid her.
