## Character

### **Personality**

Kaileah is known to be a “storm” of a person. She is unapologetically herself, and doesn't care what others think. Kaileah is brave and bold to no extent and is heavily skilled in combat. She is known to be fierce and even a bit scary, but she can be nice when she wants to be. Kaileah is known to be sarcastic and intelligent, along with a no-nonsense person, but when she is with her friends, she does love to have her share of fun. Kaileah suffers from "resting witch face" and seems to be unapproachable by many. But underneath the angry-looking exterior is a heart of gold. And violence at times. Grumpy upon first meetings, she tends to answer shortly with one-word answers. This is nothing against anyone who tries to talk to her, of course. She's an introvert on the inside - talking to people exhausts her. After giving presentations and such, you will find Kaileah trying to stay awake. When it comes to her friends, few as they may be, she's gentle and warm, almost motherly. In her friend group, she's the designated 'mama' and is lovingly referred to as Mama Leah. Her soft interior is well hidden, but easily found. She often feeds strangers extra food that she happens to have, often gumbo or jambalaya. However, if you mess with her or one of her friends, you'll face the wrath of the storm. Her temper is short when lit, and she's not afraid of physical violence, or a yelling match. She rarely loses, if only because she's too stubborn to give up. Kaileah is argumentative and hates being proved wrong (She's such an aquarius /j). Her stubbornness is both a plus and a minus; when she refuses help with something, it can make anyone cringe to see her fail over and over, but when she's arguing for someone else, be it ogres' rights, or petitioning for larger dorms to accommodate bigger students, everyone can see the benefits. One of her favorite pastimes is learning about all the different problems in the world, so she can help find solutions.

Unfortunately, her solutions tend to be... less than orthodox, and are often dismissed as silly little fantasies. This calls for her to prove herself and her worth, making her ideas happen on her own and succeeding without much, if any, help. Oya's daughter has an overly large soft spot for babies and children and will take any opportunity to watch them. She's an expert in the way of soothing and dealing with kids, and they all seem to love her just as much as she loves them. Kaileah looks forward to the day she has her own babies to take care of, even if that means getting married first. This is another factor in her nickname 'Mama Leah.' She often volunteers at the local day care with Aubrey, Evelyn, and Selena as a teacher's assistant, helping children learn their vital skills, such as reading, writing, math, etc. If you can't find her trying to convince Melody to let her help cook, she's probably there. Kaileah isn't so much persuasive as she is forceful. She's the type to go "please? Pretty please? Pretty please with sugar on top?" until you finally give in. No persuasion necessary. This is reserved for Melody, to be honest. If you upset Kaileah and it's strictly about herself, she'll probably take off running - this isn't her backing down, oh no. This is her running so you don't get punched in the face, missing a few teeth and in the infirmary. So really, she's doing it to protect you. Oya's daughter is confident and sure of herself - she's sure she's never wrong and she knows she's smarter than people assume her to be. She doesn't take insults lightly, and will end your current consciousness if she's insulted enough. Don't talk bad about her mother - that's something that will get you punched out. Her mother means the world to her, and she doesn't take kindly to any insults thrown in her mother's general direction. Overall, Kaileah is truly a wonderful person to be around

### **Appearance**

Kaileah is described as a fierce yet beautiful girl of Hawaiian and Nigerian descent. Kaileah is often described as having curly dark brown, almost black hair that falls a little ways past her shoulders, smooth dark brown skin, and gray eyes that can be described like a violent storm. She is often seen wearing a gray shirt that says "Storm Girl” in black writing, a light purple sweater, a black skirt with lightning bolts on it, and gray boots

### **Hobbies and Interests**

#### Cooking

Kaileah absolutely adores cooking - this is something she picked up from her father. The two share a love of working in the kitchen, creating fantastic dishes to share with everyone. She often sneaks into the cafeteria kitchen while the lunch lady's back is turned so she can add her own food to the array of standard school fare. Have to liven it up somehow! This.. doesn't always work - several times she's gotten caught and put in detention. In Kai's defense, kids cannot live on peanut butter sandwiches alone!!! You need some real food in there like homemade soups! At least, that's what Kai thinks.

#### Childcare

If Kai ends up not going through with her myth, she'll end up running a daycare/restaurant. It's truly her dream. She wants at least 5 children of her own and to watch everyone else's children. Her love of children comes from being an only child and obsessing over siblings. She learned everything she could about taking care of babies so she could properly take care of any little siblings she might get - only for her parents to never have another child after Kai. But, the girl has a knack for it, and she loves kids more than she loves food, almost. *Almost.*
