- - Personality:

On the outside, Leah is very reserved, very quiet and very independent. This is mostly because she has trust-issues, that are built by the CIA, who broke her down when she got there, as a fifteen year old. She is very down-to-earth and can just say things to people they don’t really expect. She has never learned to filter her thoughts and feelings properly, unless it’s opposite someone she is taught to respect. This often ends up in her hurting someone by saying things she later on wished she hadn’t. However, when she’s not upset or angry she likes to pretend, which she has gotten very good at, overtime. In fact, it’s how she survived.

Leah is terrible at giving advice, although this has never stopped her from giving it, to people who she thinks deserve it. She is also very insecure and once you finally get her to trust you, she can talk for hours about her favorite music or her love for sports. When she is scared or really upset, she can curl up and go non-responsive, making it really hard to get her out of that state, often making people think she is somewhat crazy or gone mental from her time in the CIA, as this is partly true. It also made her more cruel and less worried about other’s feelings, especially when she is really pissed off. When she is in the non-responsive state, you need to be really patient with her and most importantly; whatever you do, don’t yell. Yelling reminds her of the CIA’s tactics, that they used on her to get her to talk.

- - Father: Lewis Racanello, Sixty-four, High-school teacher, Deceased
- - Mother: Colleen Price, Fifty-five, Landscape modeler
- - Siblings: Benjamin Racanello, Twenty-five, Fordham
- - Other relationships: None
- - History:

Leah Bethany Racanello was born in England, on the countryside, to the Italian high-school teacher Lewis Racanello and his wife and childhood lover; Colleen Prince. The three of them were very happy, until news got out that Colleen had a relationship with another man. By that time, she had already gotten pregnant and none of them knew if the child would be Lewis’s child or the child of the other man. Lewis wasn’t able to cope with this and filed for a divorce, enraged and bitter and left her behind with her mother, who took an eleven year-old Leah to Lomdon, with her brother Benjamin, who was then already born and was about eight years old. Leah became very resentful for the way her mother acted and behaved and thought of her as not having grown up at all, which led her to try and take care of her baby-brother as best as she could.

At age fourteen, she was a smart girl, that spent all of her spare time, taking care of her younger brother and her now alcoholic mother. She became very reserved at such a young age and always pretended to be happy, for her brother’s sake. Eventually, once she became fifteen years old, she was approached by a couple of mean-looking men that forced her to pack her bags and leave with them. Leah, wanting to protect her brother more than anything, made him promise her to keep on going the way she taught him, before begrudgingly leaving with them.

Once thrown into the system, Leah knew for sure that there was no way out, but she held on for her brother anyhow. She however, refused to take on the rules of the CIA and was often punished because of it, terrifying her to a point where she silently did what they told her to do, until figuring out that this was wrong too and she needed to speak up more, so she did, she spoke up and ended up in much more punishment. In the year that she was taught to say ‘Yes Sir’ and ‘Yes Ma’am’ she was also taught how to handle a weapon and how to shoot. Although not violent by heart, this actually took her shorter than she had expected it to take, as she already handled her situation as a spy quite good as well, as it made her more cruel in her actions.

She had just become twenty when she was booted out of the CIA and went looking for her family, ultimately finding out that her father had died and her brother had been taken into the system of the Fordhams. She felt lost, not caring much for her addicted mother and thus became even more determined than ever to find him and bring him back with her, giving her a purpose other than constantly being afraid.

- - Roleplay Sample:

Leah sat there, staring off at something in the distance, thinking of the memories that kept coming back whenever she was alone. She thought of the things she was taught, of the ways she had to pretend and just.. do what they told her to do. She was out of the CIA for almost seven years now and she still couldn’t get used to it. Mostly because she didn’t want to, truth be told. She looked up when someone asked her something and was dragged right back to the present, when her boss of the company she was working at to get at least some money to take care of herself, stood before her, with a severely pissed expression on his face. One that didn’t much impress Leah, as she saw worse. “Sorry, I will have the papers on your desk in fifteen minutes, sir.” She said, as she looked at him and smiled innocently. Yes, always the bright and innocent woman. “You better.” The dark, balding man said, before walking back to his office.

“How do you always do that?” She heard one of her colleagues ask, on which she just looked at the small, blonde girl, she knew as Daisy. “Just smile, Daisy, if they don’t impress you, they always just slink off.” Daisy laughed. “Don’t let the boss hear you.” She said, as to which Leah nodded and turned back to the computer screen, eventually printing out the documents her boss had almost forcefully requested, before glancing up at the clock. “I’m going to take a break!” She said loudly, before getting her coat and freezing when her bosses loud voice found its way to her again. “Sir,” she said calmly, as she turned around, “the files are on your desk.” He nodded and in this slight moment of confusion, she slipped through and was inside the elevator before he even noticed it. She felt like she was going crazy, for real.

Yes, most had already thought of her to have gone mad, she knew all this and she didn’t care. Or pretended to anyways. If she cared, if she really showed she cared, they’d only use it against her, like the CIA had done. And she just couldn’t afford that. So, once she was outside, she quickly walked up to a café and ordered a coffee, a latte, as she still didn’t like the really bitter substance of coffee on its own. When she took a sip, she glanced back at the building she was working at, briefly asking herself again what she was doing there, before freezing as she saw a kid slip through the crowd. “Hey wait up!” She heard another kid yell and she relaxed when she saw the schoolbags. She just really disliked kids. Not in the sense as kids on their own, but you never knew when a CIA kid ran around. That was what she really disliked.
