## Early Life

Leah was born and raised on the Quileute Tribe on La Push in Washington.

Growing up Leah was extremely close to her cousin, Emily Young.

Her freshman year of high school Leah started dated Sam Uley, whom she went on to date for 3 years. Their relationship began to suffer when Sam started to create a distance due to his increased temper and new shape-shifting abilities. Sam reappeared two weeks later with no with out no explanation as to where he had been. Leah tried to be understanding and gave Sam the distance he needed, but over time it became to much for her.

Leah was heart broken and her cousin Emily came to comfort her. During Emily's visit she ran into Sam at the Clearwater's convient Store Harry's and he imprinted on her immediately. After imprinting on Emily, Sam stopped by the Clearwater's house that night and broke up with Leah telling her that things between them are not going to work out anymore as he met someone else. Later that week, Emily confided in Leah that Sam was pursuing her. She became furious with him and greatly relied on Emily rejecting Sam's advances. Leah became very bitter when she heard news on the tribe that Emily and Sam have engaged in a romantic relationship, she even went as far as blaming the both for her pain and unhappiness.

## Transformation

Time passes by and Leah finds herself growing more bitter and angry as the smallest thing irritate her. Her body begins to change with out her awareness. Leah and Sue argue over her moodiness which greatly upsets Leah causing her to phase for the first time in the Clearwater living even destroying a couch in the process.

Harry Clearwater suffers a fatal heart attack from the pure shock of seeing Leah change into a wolf and not his son Seth.  Seth having witnessed the entire incident phases from the shock of Leah transforming.

## Joining Sam's Pack

Leah's recent transformation causes her even further pain as she begins to hold her self responsible for her fathers death.

Furthermore, the Elders Council orders Leah to join Sam's pack ,proving her with a constant reminder that her abandoned her for her cousin Emily Young via the pack's telepathic link. Leah uses this connection to punish Sam and the pack by sharing her memories of her time with Sam and by bringing up uncomfortable subjects like Embry Call's parentage( because at the time no one knew who his dad was and his mom is from the Makah tribe). She liked to think about things that the pack would rather forget.

Over time Leah begins to forgive Emily and Sam after learning the truth of Emily's accident and imprinting. Leah even agrees to be her cousin's bridesmaid. Leah even tries to make peace with the rest of the pack.

With the sighting of Victoria's new born army near Forks, Leah prepares for the battle with the other wolves. With a thirst to prove herself just as worthy as the the boy, she attempts to fight a newborn vampire alone. The new born wolf nearly chocked her, when Jacob Black manages to knock her out of the way just in time. The new vampire crushes all the bones in Jakes' right side.

### *Leaving Sam's pack for Jake's pack*

Jake who is the right full heir as Chief of the tribe breaks away from Sam's pack leaving the wolves with the option to chose a pack. Leah and her brother Seth leave Sam's pack to join Jake. Leah joins Jake's pack to get away from Sam, while Seth joined to do the right thing and protect Bella. As Bella's pregnancy progressed tension between the two packs began to get intense.
