Personality: Leanne is shy, quiet, and reserved, but once you get to know her, she can be quite friendly. She is a bit of a social outcast, with only a few friends, one of which is her twin sister, Joanne. She’s a down to earth, serious girl, who you don’t want to mess with. She’s always top in the class, but she tries as hard as she can to get those grades. She is always uncomfortable when Joanne has friends over, as they always seem to mark her as a weirdo when they meet her. Lea has a secret, she’s been taking acrobatics lessons from a local, who used to travel with Cirque Du Soleil. Her dream is to join the circus too, but she knows her parents would never approve. Leanne is very accomplished at acrobatics, so good she can do a one-handed handstand on a unicycle on a tightrope. Joanne has a boyfriend, named Jasper Bradley, who Leanne has had a crush on since her second year, but Joanne doesn’t know, or she would never let Lea see the end of it.

Appearance: Leanne has shoulder-length blonde hair, and stormy grey eyes. Her appearance reflects her personality, with a charming, pretty face. She continuously gets bruises from falling during her acrobatics lessons, but with a wave of her wand, they can dissapear.

History: Leanne was born on December 17th, 1973, to Irene and Jacob Eckhart. Her sister was born before her, but only a few minutes. When Leanne and Joanne were 5, their younger brother was born, Martin. Lea’s first magical experience was when she was 7, and her brother broke her ragdoll, but a needle and thread appeared and began sewing it back together in midair. After this incident, Leanne decided to go around and scour flea-markets, searching for broken dolls, stuffed animals, or ragdolls, buying them, and fixing them. Once, a rather wealthy family payed her to fix their daughter's teddy bear. She and her sister got their acecptance letters to Hogwarts, but Martin’s never came, and their family was forced to conclude that he was indeed a Squib. So while Martin stayed home, Leanne went to Hogwarts, where she met quite a few new people, including a rather friendly girl named Phoenix Rosewood, with whom she later became friends. In her third year, Joanne and Jasper started dating, and Leanne was very upset, almost to the point that she was going to tell Joanne about her crush on Jasper, but she decided against it, so now she's stuck keeping it a secret from everyone.

Leanne gulped. Her fear was real, but she knew she could do this. She stood, 20 feet in the air, on a metal platform. In front of her, a tight-rope walker stood, holding the unicycle steady. She reached out, and placed her hand on the seat. Lea kicked her feet up, above her head, and she was off. The tight-rope walker was standing in the middle of the rope, so the unicycle would roll towards them, and it did. Her heart was pounding in her chest, her forehead beaded with sweat. As she neared the tight-rope walker, he took steps back, keeping the unicycle moving. Then the man lost balance, and fell straight for the net, spanned across the entire floor. The sudden vibrations going through the rope sent Leanne tumbling, the unicycle not far behind.

Hey Janice! <3 Welcome to Nargles! I'm really glad you joined, but there's a couple things I need to ask before I can sort you:

+ What was her time like at Hogwarts? You seem to have her pre-Hogwarts history all good, but there are five years you forgot to include- the most important five years in he
+ How is she around her family (parents, etc.)?

As soon as you get these sorted out and edited, reply back and you'll be on your way!

Edited. <3

Thanks for the changes! I think Leanne would fit nicely into...

RAVENCLAW!
