Character
Personality: Leah is kind and sweet. She doesn’t go over the top with it, but actively chooses to try and see the positive things in people life versus focusing on the negative. She wouldn’t think twice about giving someone the very expensive shirt off her back, or giving them some other similarly expensive item just to see a smile on their face. She loves lifting people up and trying to get them to embrace their own beauty, no matter their form.
While she focuses on being a positive influence and seeing the good in things, she isn’t dumb and knows that sometimes its hard to get around the negative. She tries to be as supportive as possible in situations like that. People having negative feelings or comments about her generally don’t bother her. They are entitled to their own opinions, and her skin is too thick for their barbs to get through anyway~
She gets along with almost everyone famously because she keeps to her own business, unless it involves someone she knows and cares about. She doesn't view it as her job to try and change people through force, rather she’d just like to point out good things about them and act as an example of how to not be a criminal asshole.
When she cares about something or someone, she cares, but… in a purely platonic way in most cases. She would amputate a leg if it meant making a difference for her friends, sometimes even if she has to pull some strings that she normally wouldn’t.
Hobbies/ Interests: Leah is a HUGE fan of dance, in a lot of forms. She considers it both an art form and a sport, and is in it to win. She still dances Ballroom occasionally when she has time, and has an online life that she devotes herself to as well. She is into crystals and plants, the latest beauty and fashion trends, and loves making clay and resin crafts.
Job or part time job and description: Floor manager and one of the owners of Hexes and Hoes; a very fine dancing establishment in the heart of the entertainment district. She manages and dances, actively teaching dancing techniques and some pole work to newer recruits. In her spare time she runs a side gig selling handmade polymer and resin trinkets, as well as making ASMR videos on Viewtube and ClikClak’s about dancing, and various videos for her 4Devotees page.
Fears/ phobias/ concerns: She isn’t a big fan of violence and does have a lingering fear of running into real danger without a guard at hand. She just tries to stay out of the more dangerous neighborhoods and be as kind as possible whenever she can.
Special talents: Borderline contortionist flexible. Loves dancing sensually vs other forms and is formally trained in Ballroom Dancing. Has 2.5million subscribers on Viewtube and large followings on ClikClak and 4Devotees. She makes sure to post a few times a week to keep them all happy.
Morality
Good/ bad/ neutral/ other: Good! Leah wants to believe that there is good in people, and that with the right digging it’s possible to bring it out in anyone. She focuses on positivity, actively shuts down negativity around her, and tries to bring everyone up to her level. That doesn’t mean that when people are purposely rude, mean, or violent around her, that she doesn't believe they deserve punishment.
She really isn’t into the whole idea of crime, considers herself above it, choosing to stay on the right side of the law wherever possible.
Feelings toward Mutants: Kinda neat and maybe a little scary sometimes. Doesn't really know know enough about them to pass any strict judgements… unless someone’s a d*ck.
Feelings toward Humans: That’s like asking how she feels about rocks or trees. They’re just there. Being people. Sometimes they suck, most of the time they don’t.
Feelings toward Adapteds: Not really aware that they exist, really, but would feel the same towards them as she does all other people. As long as you aren’t an A-hole, you’re fine.
Magic
Arcana Praeditus: Metation
Arcana Initium: Somation
Preferred Foci: Intricate finger swooping, as if she were the conductor for her own magical orchestra, and hand-made lipsticks and glosses infused with most of the herbs and other reagents she needs for her spells.
Magical Theme: Positivity kisses.
Snap Spell: Protection charm
Physical Abilities Leah is fairly strong. As a seasoned pole dancer she’s got a lot of well worked muscles in all the right places, and works with a trainer throughout the week to keep herself in check. She’s got a pretty good grip, but isn’t a weightlifter by any means. The amount she can lift is average for her size. She’s incredibly flexible, she gets paid to be after all, and goes on daily morning jogs.
General Physical Capabilities: Flexibility and stamina wise she’s definitely got an advantage in. She can almost fold herself in half, backwards, and can hang for hours sideways from a pole with practiced ease. Her size gives her a bit of an edge when it comes to physical scuffles, but for the most part she tries to avoid them. She has no formal combat or self defense training (prefers a personal bodyguard instead), and would rather not risk breaking whatever new set of acrylics she has on that week.
Fighting Style: Would rather kiss and make up, but can try and scratch your eyes out or sit on you if push comes to shove.
Fighting Style Pros/Cons: Doesn’t hold a candle to experienced fighters. She’d rather kill them with kindness.
History Of Your Character
Leah has always had a silver spoon in her mouth. She was born into a wealthy family as an only child and was thus spoiled rotten. Anything she wanted, mummy and daddy gave her. Her mother, Jacqueline, was overjoyed to have her seeing as she was the result of years and years of fertility treatments and her father, Laurence, was completely over the moon with her. She went to the finest schools, had the best nannies and tutors, had little friends from other prominent wealthy families around her.
By the grace of the goddess she managed not to become a self centered brat, and instead ended up a very polished young woman with an unbelievably kind heart.
You can imagine her mothers dismay when she found a calling online via short videos with dancing, and dove head first into burlesque and pole dancing without a single regret. At 18 she went from championship Ballroom dancing to working for a very prominent club in the city, just around the corner from Times Square. Hexes and Ho’s. The name was hilarious and delightful, and the woman who ran the place was a gem. Geneva Lewis, a 30 year old who had taken over the club from a previous owner, had transformed it from a seedy strip joint into a place of fine entertainment with upper class patrons. Leah joined just as it was taking off as a New York hotspot, and quickly cemented a place for herself there. Seven years later she was a co-owner and manager, with stock in the place and pride in how well it was doing.
Her parents had been busy as well. Without too many hobbies to keep them going, the pair had stumbled upon a new Club to go to. One that offered some pretty rare benefits and gave then an opportunity to have something else to brag about. They joined, and months later Leah was pulled into the mix. Her mother honestly hoped that maybe a different hobby would help her kick the stripping habit.
Leah learned about magic, and developed a new interest in the occult. She didn’t spend much time studying it past a few quick online searches about the most popular forms, before deciding to jump in as well. Her parents, who had already been through the imbibement ceremony themselves, got her foot in the door with many generous donations to the cause, and soon Leah herself was pulled into a ceremony. The energy she was given caused a Snap, as it had her parents.
The energy that ran through her was overwhelming. She immediately grew dizzy and swayed, but when her father reached out to steady her his hand encountered a solid, invisible barrier that absorbed the force of him reaching. The barrier glowed in a white, semi-opaque manner for a moment, and then shattered and vanished.
She passed out and slept like the dead for a few hours, before waking like normal.

Sample RP:
“That was a great try, Em! Really good! I would see all of the effort you’ve put in since last week!” The tall woman clapped her hands energetically from the side of the stage. Her blonde hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail and she was dressed in a loose black wrap sweater with a strappy bralette underneath. Beige tights with a matching thong over them, leg warmers up to her thighs, and seven inch clear heels on her feet. She towered easily over every other person in the room, but never gloated about it.
“I just have one teensey little thing to point out. May I?”
Em nodded and stepped to the side as Leah approached the pole.
“So, hon, your form was perfect. I’m not lying, Em, it was great! You’ve come a long way! But, where you were pinching the bar with your knee.. If you do it too far out like that you’ll get a gnarly burn and it’ll be harder in the long run. You wanna get it hooked in like this-”
Lean demonstrated by lifting one leg around the pole and pulling with her upper body to lift herself up. She showed how she was wrapping her leg around the metal a few times, how it gave her a more secure grip and put less strain on her leg.
“It’s like people who lift bags with the tips of their fingers, vs their whole hands… you know?” She giggled as she smoothly let herself down and leaned on the bar.
“I mean… I’ve never been grocery shopping for my own stuff so I don’t know from experience or anything, but you’ve all seen the ClikClaks about it, right?”
The gathered group of men and women laughed at her, and she shrugged at her own admission of privilege.
“Go ahead and try it again, Em!” She clacked her way back to the side of the stage and watched as the much smaller woman sidled over to the pole and mounted it, adjusting her hold on it like she’d been shown.
“Ooh, that is much better… Thanks!”
“Of course Hon! You’ve got this” Leah shot her a thumbs up, and shooed everyone off to their own practice poles. The newer dancers were learning fast and it honestly warmed Leah’s heart to see them all putting so much effort in. Em herself was much more experienced in Strip Tease, but had wanted to branch out into one of the other forms the club offered classes on.
As one of the three main Pole teachers, Leah could definitely say she was proud of all her little ducklings.
