[u][b][color=Silver]In-depth Appearance;[/color][/b][/u]
[indent]Leia is a very attractive female for anyone to look at that crosses her path. Leia stands at about five foot eleven though when she wears her boots, her height goes up by two inches and make her a little bit taller than usual. Leia usually wears her flat shoes though. She is a perfect weight size for her height, weighing about one-hundred and fifteen pounds. She is very toned and built athletically though feminine from her years of training. Leia has olive toned skin that basically glistens in the sun, at times. Her eyes are a deep, emerald green color, which have a piercing glare to them. She likes to keep her hair long but will always have it tied up in a high ponytail. Her hair is a brown color and cascades all the way down her back. Leia dresses is Earthbender robing simply because that is where she was birthed and stayed for the longest.[/indent]

[center][u]{[color=000000]♦[/color] Confident ♦ Intelligent [color=000000]♦[/color] Loyal ♦ Blunt [color=000000]♦[/color] Flirty}[/u][/center]
[indent]Since being apart of the White Lotus, Leia has developed a new personality somewhat from her previous shy and reserved self. She is much more confident and open to her hidden talents. Things she never thought she could do, she has done. Leia thanked her masters for showing her the way of finding confidence within herself and others. Becoming confident in herself and others has became sort of natural to Leia now and she showcases that side of her every chance she gets. Iris is also very intelligent and it shows almost every single time she opens her mouth. She'll say some words that have others turn their heads up in confusion but she knows what she is talking about and hope that others would know as well. 

Leia is loyal to her companions and the White Lotus as she doesn't really socialize with anyone but the members of the White Lotus, honestly. She trusts them more than she trusts anybody else and hope that they all feel the same about her. She has proved her loyalty to them time and time again. The one thing Leia probably hates about herself is her bluntness. She doesn't like most of the words that comes out of her mouth and hates when she makes somebody feel bad about themselves. Leia tries her best not to express this side of her simply because she doesn't want to harm those around her with words. But if you ask Iris for her brutally honest opinion, she will definitely be the person to give it to you despite what you might think of her afterwards.

She is also very flirty towards anyone with an intellectual mind like herself. Sometimes she will get very carried away and make the other person feel uncomfortable. She also hates this trait about herself. Leia is not an attention seeker or anything but she finds that people with creative minds are the most attractive and wants to snatch them up before anyone else does. She will also flirt with someone if it is apart of their mission. Overall though, Leia is a very dominant female that doesn't take any crap from no one. She will speak her mind on any subject matter but of course if she uses the wrong words, she'll ultimately feel bad. Leia is a great addition to the White Lotus due to her being so intelligent and clever. They are happy to have her and hopes that she becomes one with herself and others as time progresses.[/indent]

[u][b][color=Silver]History;[/color][/b][/u]
[indent]Leia was birthed to two Earth benders and they thought that she too was an Earth bender but saw that she wasn't. For years, Leia thought that she was a disappointment to her parents and the Earth Kingdom. She has even ran away from home a few times due to feeling that way for so long. Every time she returned back home, her parents would apologize and proudly show her off as their child. Most people thought that it was a little weird but neither Leia nor her parents cared.

While growing up, Leia was taught and trained by many other non benders on how to survive in the world without bending. She trained literally almost every single day until she perfected her techniques. Leia was also trained by a weapons master and due to her other style of training, it didn't take her long to pick up weaponry. She has been all over the world at such a young age and her parents allowed her to do so simply because of her eagerness to learn.

It wasn't until Leia was becoming a woman when the elder White Lotus members approached her and asked if she'd like to join. Leia immediately accepted but her parents argued the fact of changing her mind. She didn't. She instead once again sneaked out and ran off to join the White Lotus. Leia loves being apart of an anti War fighting group and training along side with them. She doesn't intend of leaving the White Lotus until the uprising war at hand has been settled and resolved. Until then, her loyal remains with the White Lotus.[/indent]
