Character Information:
Character's Full Name: Leela Angeline FerdinandLeela still has scores of random animals in her apartment, including the neigbours pets and other strays that happen to be around. She's generally as straight as a ruler, but enough heat can cause her to bend slightly.
Age: 23
Birthdate: 5th November
Appearance(at least one full paragraph - 5-7 sentences!): Leela is around average height, being 5'5" but she is incredibly slim because she often forgets to eat and when she was younger she had problems with bulimia. She has long, curly dark brown hair down to her mid back and striking hazel eyes, usually outlined in kohl. She isn't afraid to show a little skin and always has the latest fashions on her back (and legs...and feet...and head). She has her top left ear pierced and both lower ears. He nails are usually dark red, beautifully manicured and she has dozens of various bracelets on both wrists, and has a habit of wearing a lot of rings.

History(at least two full paragraphs - 10-14 sentences!): Leela had a fairly happy upbringing. She was the middle sister of five (Lily and Lauren are older, Lucy and Leanne are younger) born to Harry Ferdinand, a British businessman and Erica Silver, a well known interior designer from Canada. They had a big country house in England with plenty of space to sprawl out, three dogs, two cats, four rabbits, six lovebirds and a whole menagerie of other animals that wandered in and out of their lives.
Growing up she was very close to her family but she was the rebellious teen, with outrageous tastes in clothes, people and music. She had no respect for authority but always gave good reasons as to why she did things, her father always joked she would make a good lawyer, if she wasn't so against politics and management. She was and still is a free thinker, very creative and changes her mind about styles at least monthly.
At eighteen she left home and went to study in America, Interior Design and Photography. In her first year her schedule was so crazy and her classmates so awful to her because she was more radical and inventive than all of them combined, that she had a certain sense of losing control. That was when the bulimia kicked in. When everything else was spiralling all over the place, only she looked after herself and could choose what to do and not do. Consequently, she ate whatever the heck she liked and then purged out every last calorie. She lost weight very quickly and her mind often wandered (with a little outside help pushing it on), but during those out there moments came some of her most brilliant designs and photos.
Her extravagance catapulted her into a certain semi-celebrity status, here was a girl not afraid to take a risk and challenge authority, who never thought inside the box. She kept on with her bulimia because she honestly believed she would be no good without it. Two years later, she was hospitalised and almost died. Waking up with her parents and sisters all around her made her realise she was being a complete idiot.
However, she still kept up the antics that made her who she was, hanging out with people the general population didn't approve of, being the most politically incorrect person you could imagine. She's a real hard partier, but she is also quite the artistic genius.
Her larger than life personality has brought her streams of friends from all backgrounds and interests and a lot of trouble too. She smokes, drinks and does everything else you shouldn't but always has a spring in her step. Occasionally she can go too far off the rails and it's down to her friends to bring her back from the brink, but other than that she's a very colourful character.
Personality(at least two paragraphs): Leela is loud, brash, flirtatious, outrageous and somewhat crazy. But she is a fantastic person, really worth getting to know. She has a heart of gold and is always there when people need her. She is fiercely protective and has ended up behind bars more than once for punching the lights out on people who have insulted or hurt her friends or family. She is a hot-head and doesn't think before she acts, she is very impulsive.
You never have to worry about Leela lying, she is bluntly honest regardless of feelings. She has a very short fuse that can be triggered by anything but she soon gets control of herself and acts like nothing has happened. She has a real problem with apologising. She never actually says sorry to anyone, just cools off and goes about her business as normal. She is driven and determined, but also compulsive and rather like a dormant volcano: You'll never know when she's going to ignite, and if she does, head for the hills.
