SECRETS// For the last few years, she's had a crush on the middle Connors boy, though she won't say anything, because she doesn't want to deal with the other girls who like him as well. Especially his ex. And she still feels guilty over the death of her family, which is why Leah cannot get behind the wheel of a car, either walking or flying everywhere.
GREATEST FEAR// Leah's greatest fear is hurting someone with her abilities. The last thing that she wants to do, is be responsible for the death of an innocent person because she was unable to keep a handle on her emotions, which control her powers in a way. Because of this, she tries to stay away from crowded areas when possible.
GREATEST AMBITION// Other than being honest about her feelings, Leah wants only one thing in life. She wants to be able to stand up on the stage, either at the school or on Broadway and sing. Since she hasn't sung since the death of her family, she has not sung at all, merely playing the tune of things on the piano, or humming lightly for a split second when she is alone. Not even Dani has heard her since the accident.
BIGGEST FLAW// Her lack of self confidence. No matter how hard she tries, Leah has no confidence in her abilities at anything, human and mutant. Even with friends as amazing as Dani, she knows that there are people out there who will bring her down, and they do, despite her best efforts to ignore their comments.
FULL PERSONALITY// When she was young, Leah was a bright eyed child who was always eager to try new things. Often times it led to a bump, scrap or cut on her body, but she always managed to pick herself back up again. It was from these experiences that she learned what her limitations were, both physically and emotionally. She was brought up in a relatively non judgemental home, where her parents were firm with one thing. Just because someone was different, didn't mean that they were wrong in their choices. From this, she gained a large respect for gays, lesbians, blacks and others who belonged to visible minorities that stood up for their rights as human beings. The same was said for mutants, which is why she reacted so well when her powers developed.
But things for her changed completely overnight, when her parents and younger sister were all killed in a car accident. Leah was the only survivor, her telekinetic powers having wrapped her in a protective cocoon. She had heard the thoughts of the driver in her mind, but had thought little of it, not having meant to have heard them anyway. Afterward, she felt an overwhelming guilt, because she felt as though the accident was her fault. She had done nothing to prevent it. Only a month later did she return to Talons, in accordance to her parents final wishes. But she speaks rarely to anyone, except Daniella, her best friend, afraid that people would also blame her for the events that occured. [/color][/font]

FULL HISTORY// Born as the first of two children to her parents, Michael and Kristina, Leah was the child who always struck her parents as the theatrical type. She would dress herself up and parade around the house as a different person almost everyday; dancing, singing and making a big show out of being different from normal. When she was five, she quit all of the silliness of childhood in order to play older sister to Marie. At that moment, she felt as though nothing else was more important than being there for her sister, protecting her from anyone who may have wished to harm her.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE//
If she spent another moment alone in that library, Annabelle was sure that she was going to go mad. There was no one else around, no other sounds to fill the vast room of silence other than the turning of her own pages, happening only when she had finished reading and needed to turn them in order to continue. Such a silence was normally tranquil, giving her a chance to sit there and worry about nothing. Nothing at all. But then again, there was always something to worry about in a world that didn't know you existed. Or, if they grouped you all together, deemed you dangers to society and thought you shouldn't belong among the rest of the "normal" people.
With a soft sigh, she closed her book firmly, laying it on top of the
mahogany table that sat in the center of the library itself before she rose from her chair and began to wander the deserted halls. There must have been some event that was happening in the school at that moment, she thought. There was no other reason for such a barren feeling to echo down the halls. A place like that was filled with hundreds of mutants; adult, teen and child alike, all of whom hid from a world where they were not wanted because they had gifts that made them different from other people.
Tucking a loose strand of bang behind her ear, Annabelle glanced at the staircase that would take her to the rooftop of the school, someone she had been time and time again, when she needed to be alone. When she needed to think with no one else around. Such was the life of a shy, battered girl such as her. There was no place for friends, as there was no way to find out who you could honestly trust with your heart and soul, and who would stab you in the back at the first opportunity. Her life had not been a sheltered one like many, but very open to the ways of humans when they lose their tempers, or worse, when they lose someone they love. She had learned this the hard way.
Pulling her sleeves down tight with her fingers, Anna wrapped her clothed arms around her chest, preparing herself for the bitter wind that was soon to hit her the moment she opened the top door. And the worst would be the time of day combined with the lack of sun. Both would make it even colder than a normal winter's day, where she would be standing there trying not to shiver, while at the same time trying to come to terms with her own mind. It shouldn't be hard for a telepath, making up her mind, but it was perhaps one of the hardest things Annabelle Johnson did on a daily basis.
Sure enough, a cold blast of wind hit her head on when she pushed the door aside, a little heavier than normal when the winds decided to momentarily pick up their speed. It took her a moment to close the door again, hearing the metal click when it was connected to the frame. But as she turned herself around, Annabelle noticed that she was not alone on the roof. There was another girl there, pale features, dark hair. She seemed familiar to her dark brown eyes, obviously a student she saw around the school often enough. She watched quietly as the girl stepped out over the roof, making Annabelle want to cry out and stop her.
But then she vanished.
And then she reappeared on the rooftop. Relief swept over her as she realized that the girl was a teleporter, someone who had the ability to vanish from one spot and reappear in another before you could blink. A small smile crept onto her lips as she watched, a laugh escaping her lips as she saw the girl land on her backside. But when the sound registered to her own ears, she was sure the girl had heard her as well.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, voice low and soft with evident fear. "I didn't mean too....I'll just...."
