## Biography

**(This character's story is undergoing a major reboot!)**

## Appearance

Leah is a brown hedgewolf with long brown hair, blue-gray eyes, peach arms, a peach muzzle and a peach torso. She stands at five feet, five inches and weighs one hundred and sixty-seven pounds. She has hedgehog ears with peach insides and a wolf tail with a white tip. Her eyes are almond-shaped and separate, while her hair is always seen down; although rare, she can be seen with it in a ponytail.

Leah's usual attire is a sleeveless gray hoodie, a knee-length yellow and white skirt, white socks and brown shoes. She also wears golden bracelets, a white bow in her hair and a golden heart necklace.

One alternate attire she wears is an aquamarine blouse with long bell sleeves that end in cuffs above her wrists, a pleated rose-colored skirt, gray socks and black Mary Janes. She wears a rose-colored sweater vest over her blouse and a light pink bow in her hair.

Another alternate attire she rarely wears is a crimson blouse, a black miniskirt and tights, as well as black knee-high boots. She wears a brown vest over her blouse and a black bow in her hair. In both alternate attires, she still wears her bracelets and necklace.

On formal occasions, Leah wears a strapless aquamarine dress in conjunction with black leggings and black Mary Janes. She still wears the jewelry from her causal attire, except she wears a blue bow in her hair.

Sometimes, she wears a rose-colored variation of the dress with a light pink bow. During the cold months, she throws in a white scarf to ward off the cold.

Leah's Riders outfit consists of a red sweater with a white stripe in the middle and one white stripe on each sleeve, a white waistwrap, red pants and red shoes.

While she still wears her necklace, she doesn't wear the bracelets - likely because of the sweater - and she wears red goggles.

## Personality

Leah is a kindhearted, sensitive girl who, oddly enough, has a fiery temper; any discriminating word she hears in her general vicinity is enough to set her off. She even has a sharp tongue to match her temper. Other than that, she is relatively easy to get along with.

Being told stories of heroes from the past by her parents instilled a sense of duty and justice in Leah. While she doesn't idolize the heroes of old, she hopes to become a hero one day.

While quite immature, she shrugs off comments of said immaturity by stating that she's still a child, even though she's sixteen years of age. She is quite a crafty and determined young girl who is responsible for her fate, whatever it may be.

Leah is a bit of a skeptic, as she doesn't believe anything that relates to the existence of gods, considering them nothing more than old folktales. Despite this, she is quite knowledgeable about the history of her world, for her rather young age.

She actually has a sense of humor, cracking jokes (yes, including bad jokes) and even pulling pranks from time to time. With few exceptions, she manages to sneak in a quip or two, lightening the mood for her friends and allies.

* **Telekinesis:** With telekinesis, Leah can lift small and medium-sized objects, and even lift people depending on how heavy they are. The glow of her telekinesis is dark-red.
* **Umbrakinesis:** With umbrakinesis, Leah can summon a bow and arrows made from shadows. She can even summon a protective shadow barrier around herself and her friends.
* **Super Leah:** In her super form, Leah's fur becomes pale yellow, her hair becomes dark yellow, and her eyes become crimson red. Her golden jewelry are silver in this form, while her attire doesn't change all that much. Additionally, her powers are increased tenfold

Her jewelry is the same color as her eyes in this form, and her attire doesn't change much. Her umbrakinesis is the only power of hers that's increased tenfold.
* **Other Abilities:** Leah has the typical abilities of a hedgehog and a wolf, being a hybrid of the two Mobian species. However, it is unknown if she is able to perform a Spin Dash.

### Family

## Trivia

* Leah speaks with a soft British accent. As a result of this, she tends to use British vocabulary and slang words. This no doubt came from her father.
* Despite being a hedgewolf, Leah's only wolf trait is her white-tipped tail, which she inherited from her father, Matthew. Everything else comes from her mother, Reina.
* Although she knows what the Chaos Emeralds are, she chooses not to use them in order to access her super form.
* Leah's ideal voice actress would be Erin Fitzgerald.
