Leila Maren Bennett (b. October 1, 1974) was the first and only child of Estrella Parvin and Raffael Bennett. Making her an Italian and British Half-blood witch. Her mother abandoned her after Leila was born. Leila's father remained, but he was now employed full-time at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. As a result, Leila spent a lot of her childhood alone. Because she was alone most of the time, Leila acquired a fierce individualism and a powerful personality.

Leila had hoped to be put into Ravenclaw or Slytherin like her family when she arrived at Hogwarts. But she was surprised when the sorting hat spoke the words; "Better be Gryffindor!"

## *Background*

Her father's problematic relationship with her mother complicated Leila Bennett's upbringing, leaving him to raise her alone after her mother left soon after her birth. Her father, a 20-year-old male at the time, was suffering when he broke up with his ex, Lucien Nott. Because he was so hurt by the break-up, he was looking for affection and tenderness from someone else. Raffael then met Leila's mother while she was on holiday in England. He was instantly captivated by the Italian beauty and chased her fervently. They started dating after a while and moved in almost instantly. Unfortunately, their relationship did not turn out to be the happy relationship they wished for. Instead, it devolved into a toxic looping process of conflicts and screaming battles. Despite their best efforts, their constant disagreements only grew worse over time, leaving little space for serenity or happiness in the house. Her mother's unintentional pregnancy only increased the animosity between them. When Leila was born, her mother returned to Italy and never returned. Raffael is left to care for Leila on his own.

#### **Leila's early childhood**

Her father's continuous work at St Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries left her feeling ignored and secluded. She was lucky to have her aunt, Luisa, and grandpa, Greyson, who were always present in her life to provide a steady and loving presence. Her aunt was especially significant in her life, teaching her the most essential lessons, such as how to read and about the spells she learned at Hogwarts. These classes became an obsession for Leila, and she excelled at both.

#### **At the age of seven**

Her father started a fresh relationship with his ex-boyfriend, Lucien. Lucien also had twin children, Gitley Raffael Nott and Ruth Nori Nott, and the three of them became close companions. She enjoyed spending time with them, and Lucien's gentle and nurturing influence in her life was a welcome respite from her father's lengthy work hours. She began to see him as a new parental figure who was always there for her. Since then, Leila has frequently come to him with issues.

#### **At the age of eleven**

Leila got a letter inviting her to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She was unhappy when she was assigned to Gryffindor House; she had wanted to be assigned to Ravenclaw like her father or Slytherin like her aunt and Lucien. She did, however, rapidly make friends with her peers.

#### **At the age of thirteen**

She had a brief fling with a member of her rival house, Artemeus. Unfortunately, Artemeus became increasingly hostile to those he considered unworthy, including Muggle-born wizards and witches such as Leila's father. She knew he wouldn't be pleased with the discovery that her father was a muggleborn, so she kept this information from Artemeus. He eventually found out, and they both struck out at each other. They didn't talk for the rest of the year.

#### **At the age of fifteen**

Raffael gave her the greatest present for her birthday. It was the day she received the gift from her father that she had long wished for. It was a small dog with large brown eyes and a wagging tail. Leila was delighted with the present and promptly named the puppy Puck.

It was a surprise present from her father, Raffael, who was not enamoured of animals. (Even hated the most animals). Leila, on the other hand, understood that her father had given her the puppy as a way of expressing apologies for his absence. Raffael was reluctant at first to get a dog for his daughter, but he knew that Leila had been feeling lonely and isolated. He hoped that having a buddy would provide her with much-needed companionship and that she could forgive him in some way.

## *Personality*

Despite growing up without a mother, Leila developed a strong sense of self and is not easily swayed by the opinions of others. She is confident and independent, and she has a sharp wit and attitude that can sometimes trigger people the wrong way and make people find her intimidating. However, those who get to know her better see that Leila is a fiercely loyal and devoted friend who will go trough fire to help and defend those she cares about. She has a strong moral code and will not tolerate injustice or cruelty towards others. Leila also has a nurturing side, and she can be a caring and supportive presence for those in need. She is a natural leader who is not afraid to express her opinions or stand up for herself when necessary. Leila enjoys making new friends and exploring new experiences and perspectives. Despite her confident, independent demeanor and outgoing nature, Leila has a mischievous side to her personality that sometimes gets her into trouble. She can be impulsive and enjoys taking risks, which can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes. However, she always manages to handle the consequences of her actions with grace and resilience.

Leila's only inherited characteristics from her father are her rage and manipulative traits. She has a fiery attitude that can be sparked by the smallest of things, and she is not afraid to face a task. She also has a sharp sense of manipulation that she employs to get what she desires. Despite these parallels to her father, Leila despises it when people say she is similar to her father in that manner. She is aware that her father is not always a good individual. Leila is a highly independent young lady who places a high value on her independence and individuality. She is determined to leave her imprint on the world and is always looking for new ways to develop and learn.

## *Physical Appearance*

Leila is a charming young lady. Her most notable feature is her dazzling sea green eyes, which appear to have a mischievous glint to them. Her mother's sea green irises were passed down to her. Meanwhile, she resembles her father, Raffael, and his twin-sister, Luisa, in appearance. Their smallish faces and lovely plump lips. Leila has dark brown hair that flows in gentle waves around her face. Her freckles give her already alluring appearance a young and relaxed look.

Leila's fashion taste is as confident and daring as her appearance. She enjoys dressing up in fashionable ensembles influenced by streetwear and the playful styles of the 1990s. Her favourite colour is green, which she frequently integrates into her outfits, whether it's a bright lime green t-shirt or a subtle forest green blazer. Her clothing is always meticulously chosen to represent her outgoing personality.
