.:Name:. Leiana Yeul LaCroix
.:Nick Name:. Leia; Princess
.:Affiliation:. The Ark; Delinquents
.:Age:. Seventeen (as of season 1)

| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |

.:Physical Appearance:.

Leiana stands at just over five foot and weighs roughly fifty kilos when soaking wet, making her someone that is easily overlooked. In spite of this she is an attractive young woman with a fair complexion and long dark hair that cascades down the length of her back.

She is said to have a unique stare because of an accident that happened when she was only a child. Her eyes were originally blue but are now cloudy as she is partially blind. Often they are useless for anything other then depicting emotions.

Her vision is blurry even at the best of times. She has trouble distinguishing colors and shapes, has difficulties seeing in bright light as well as the dark, and its not uncommon for fast movements to disorientate her. There are scars around her eyes, along her neck, and on her body as well as a result of the accident.

Leiana is very self-conscious about her scars and often tries to hide them behind her hair and layers of clothing. It is not something she likes to draw attention too or talk about. Leiana tries hard to maintain a clean and tidy appearance despite the situation she and the other delinquents have been forced into.

.:Height:. Five foot and one inch

.:Personality:.

Leiana seems to draw others to her like moths to a flame with her seeming innocence and naivety. More often than not it is danger and trouble that find her as people believe it is possible to corrupt her. Leiana, however, is not as innocent as people tend to assume.

She understands that her disability puts her at a disadvantage and makes her an easy target for wildlife, and grounders, and delinquents alike. So she does what is necessary to survive on a post-apocalyptic earth. This could be keeping secrets or exposing them. She is deceptive, manipulative, and stubborn.

Her quiet demeanor and small size mean that others often overlook her, so they tend to talk freely around her. Leiana overhears conversations and secrets that people would rather keep hidden. She will use this knowledge to ensure those that would rather leave her in the wilderness are more inclined to offer protection.

Impulsive, reckless, emotional, and smart-mouthed, she is all of these things. Leiana does not allow others to dictate what she can and cannot do, not ever. She craves the freedom to make such choices for herself and becomes upset, even belligerent, when people take it from her.

Leiana is a likeable person despite all her flaws. If one is willing to take the time to get to know her, to gain her trust, she is a loyal friend.

.:Special Skills:.

Hearing ::
Leiana's hearing has always been good—really good. She doesn't need to be standing right beside a person to hear what they are saying. She could be across a large room, lurking outside, or even hidden somewhere nearby. Even at a distance she is able to make out whispered words with some degree of certainty.

Knowledgeable ::
Being blind means that Leiana is always at a disadvantage. She needs to be escorted between places and rescued from simple situations and can be a burden at times but she makes up for this with an array of knowledge. Leiana failed practical schoolwork because of her disability but excelled at theory. Now she possesses a mountain of information that can be advantageous to the delinquents.

She knows the appearance of some plants and whether or not they can be eaten. She knows that water flows downhill and how to purify it when it has been tainted. Leiana has a vague understanding of what plants grow best in what seasons. She is very knowledgeable but when panicked or pressured she has difficulties recalling information quickly.

.:Birthplace:. The Ark

.:Family:. Chloe Fox (mother) and Kane LaCroix (father; non-biological)

.:Occupation:. Student
.:History:.

Leiana, like all the delinquents, was born aboard the Ark. Having been the only child of Kane LaCroix and Chloe Fox it wasn't uncommon for her to be spoiled, showered with affection and gifts when possible, mainly by Chloe. Because of this Leiana had a closer relationship with her mother than her father.

As a young child Leiana was outgoing and friendly and had no difficulties making friends with other children. She rarely thought to question the intentions of those she met and always saw the best in them. This was a source of amusement and distress for her mother. While she was thrilled that her daughter was able to make friends so easily, she was not at all pleased by how the older children were able to talk her into activities that were not approved of.

It was one such time when a group of children were playing a game of hide-and-seek an accident had happened. The children, unknown to the authorities and their parents, snuck into a restricted area to play their game. As they were running, a large barrel was knocked over and split. Leiana and another young girl had been caught in the spill and were rushed to the medical bay after the accident became known to the authorities.

There are only a few individuals that know exactly what was in the barrel as the circumstances of the accident were kept quiet from the populace. But the results were devastating. Leiana was left emotionally and physically scarred, and her eyesight deteriorated rapidly. The other girl, Charlotte, passed away.

After this accident Leiana became a more withdrawn individual and was far less trusting. As she became a teenager she began spending more time at school and took extra lessons. Leiana very much enjoyed subjects that immersed her in knowledge and provided an escape from home.

The LaCroix family appeared to be very close but such was not the case. Their household was plagued with betrayal, deceit and jealousy. Her parents fought often and it was clear that their marriage had become strained. This was enough to drive her mother to seek comfort in the arms of other men.

Chloe's infidelity became known when Kane returned home from work unexpectedly and found her in bed with another man. During the ensuing argument it was revealed that Kane was not Leiana's biological father and this sent the man into a rage.

Leiana was present at the time, unknown to the three. She had been unwell that morning and returned from school early to rest. Hearing her father's angry shouts led her to hide inside one of the closets; there she clutched a kitchen knife, and prayed that he wouldn't find her.

As the screams grew louder concerned neighbors contacted the guards but unfortunately they arrived too late. Kane had murdered Chloe and her lover. He resisted arrest but was ultimately taken into custody and would later be sentenced to death via being floated. The guardsmen found Leiana cowering in the closet but as one of the men attempted to remove her, she lashed out.

She was distraught, panicked, and frightened. In the midst of her emotional turmoil she stabbed the man.

Leiana was taken into custody and charged with assault.

There were many that believed she should never have been imprisoned given the circumstances of her crime but their voices were unable to sway the verdict. Leiana spent two years the Sky Box before being sent to the ground with the other delinquents.
