[indent] Leila Cassandra Samara[/indent]

[color=666666][b][u]Nicknames[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Cass/Cassy: Used by friends. Leila used to have a friend with a very similar sounding name, so even when she stopped being friends with that person others called her that.

Lei: Used by family. It's short and her parents can't call her Cass or Cassy since that's her mother's name and it would be confusing.[/indent]

[color=666666][b][u]In-Depth Appearance[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Leila is fully Lebanese. She has light olive skin and is very physically fit. She has broad shoulders and a smaller waist, but don't be fooled she is fairly strong from years of off and on training. Leila's legs are very muscular while her arms are not as much. She has long wavy hair that is a dark brown. However, her hair us usually tied up in a ponytail or clipped up in a bun to keep the hair out of her face. She also has dark brown, almond shaped eyes.

Leila wears fairly dark clothing ranging from a medium grey to black. It helps her go fairly unnoticed in when sneaking up on someone. Most of her clothes are skins tight or stay close to her body. This helps Leila make less noise. Plus the clothes are light and unrestrictive, again, in order to help her fight. Other than that Leila wears a long black ribbon around her right wrist in memory of her late sister. She has learned how to keep them quiet and even how to use them to help her fight or throw sound in a different direction to keep her hidden.

[color=666666][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]Leila is extremely hard working. When she wants to do something, she will be dead set on it with nothing to stop her. Especially if she's passionate about something. She also tries very hard to be like her sister. She tries to be kind, courteous, helpful, and selfless. However, whenever she get really excited or is fighting, those traits tend to fade away and she acts more like herself. Leila can be very snarky and energetic in battle. She is very competitive and hates losing. That's why she trains hard and isn't afraid of risks. Leila is very family oriented and loves her family a lot. There are times where she gets home sick, but then she reminds herself of the good she's doing for the world. Many times Leila will push any negative emotions aside and deal with them by finding something else to occupy her mind.

During fights Leila can become lazer focused when tasked with a job. She is good at planning strategies and noticing everything that her teammate's are doing. She can place herself in the weakest part of their formation. However, she's not much of a leader. She's not afraid or unqualified to lead, she just prefers to support others.[/indent]

[color=666666][b][u]Background[/u][/b][/color]
[indent]One of Leila's first memories is when her mother came back from the market bruised and beaten. She was 5 at the time. The memory is quite vivid. She can remember the blood dripping and exhausted look on her mother's face. Nazmat and her father both helped her mother tend to her wounds, but Leila could do nothing. After that Leila's father put both of the girls in a self defense class because he wanted them to be able to protect themselves in a society that looked down on women.

Leila's family was poor. Her father worked tirelessly as a laborer while her mother stayed at home to take care of the house and kids. They family prioritized academics, so the girls were always pressured to do well in school. However, the girls were understanding and worked hard. 

After 4 years, Leila wanted to advance her self defense classes into a full martial arts class. Nazmat dropped because she thought that she had learned all she needed to know. Plus, she no longer had time for the classes with all of her academic work. Nazmat wished to become a doctor and heal rather than fight and injure.

When Leila was 12 and Nazmat was 17, they went out to the market to pick things up for their mother to cook dinner. Nazmat was also planning on buying seeds for a small garden she was working on with the small amount of money the two siblings had conjured from finding stray coins. Leila really looked up to her sister, even if they did occasionally fight, so she didn't mind leaving the money to her sister. However, once Leila spotted a really neat dagger, she was starting to regret the decision. The two argued a bit before Nazmat won. Nazmat wanted to talk to the 'cute' boy who helped run the stall with the seeds while looking nice, so she took the black ribbon out and handed it to her sister. The older sibling then instructed her sister to sit and wait until she came back. After a while of sitting around waiting, Leila hear the sound of a gun firing. Instantly, women started screaming and men started yelling. Leila sat frozen, unsure of what she should do since her sister wasn't there. A moment passed before Leila could see what everyone was running from. In the eye of the storm her sister lay on the dirt with blood all around her. A group of men stood around yelling. They all wore the same insignia. These men would later become known as the United Brothers, a terrorist group that was just rising out of the ashes at the time. Leila couldn't do anything, it was too late. So she stood up, knowing she needed to do  something, [I]anything[/i]. But before she could make up her mind, the terrorists began to spread out grabbing people. One grabbed her and pointed a gun at her head, terrified, she stood stark still. He yelled at everyone running to stop. He then started explaining the reason why he did what he did. Leila didn't care though, she had to escape. During her captor's rant she was able to remember her training. She was able to surprise him in an attempt to throw him that didn't really go as planned. She used this distraction to get away and run home. Leila cried and told her parents everything. When they went back to her sister's dead body, the police had cleared everything up. While her parents were mourning, Leila found the black ribbon she dropped and tied it around her wrist so she wouldn't lose it.

After that incident, Leila trained even harder at martial arts and even took up using all types of weapons, including guns. She trained in all her spare time when she wasn't studying or helping around the house. Leila's parents were heartbroken afterwards, so Leila did her best to be perfect just like her sister was. Once Leila completed all the schooling available to females, she decided that she needed to get a job. Leila's parents had been trying to marry her off for a long time, but the girl refused. She started saving females from being beaten on the street and became a vigilante of sorts. However, Leila's mother was very against it, wanting her daughter to be safe and sound. The news of Leila helping stop hate crimes and other criminal activity spread around since Leila did nothing to cover her identity. 

However, this lead to Leila's father being fired from his job. With no income and a guilty conscious, Leila stopped her vigilante activities and started getting paid to beat people up. This lead to her eventually killing people for a price to help her family. She kept this a secret, claiming that she was working as a maid to a fairly popular hotel.

Once Leila heard the Sentinels were recruiting, she wanted to join. She wanted to do her family justice and do the right thing. They had seemed like silly stories when she was young, but Leila remembered her sister loving them. So she set out to redeem herself and truly live as her late sister would have wanted.[/indent]

[indent][u]Mother:[/u] Cassandra Samara is the kind of person who loves her kids to the ends of the earth. However, that means she wants the best for them and doesn't want them to get hurt. So she is always concerned about academics and encourages her kids to conform to societal standards.

[u]Sister (Deceased):[/u] Nazmat Samara was the perfect child. She excelled in everything she attempted. She also was kind and courteous to her elders, but fun and mischievous with children. Nazmat was 5 years older than Leila and was passionate about gardening and medicine.[/indent]

[color=666666][b][u]Abilities[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][b]Shadow Assault[/b] - Leila can sneak up behind someone and choke them out with her black ribbon.
[b]Double Strike[/b] - Leila can separate the two halves of her polearm and connect a long chain between the two parts, but this takes time.
[b]Deception[/b] - Leila's ultimate can turn her invisible, however this only lasts a limited amount of time. It also doesn't hide sound or touch, so she has to be careful.
[/indent]

[color=666666][b][u]Weapons[/u][/b][/color]
[indent][hider=Throwing Knives][img]https://productimages.knife-depot.com/23/9_512181.jpg

For long distance attacks, Leila uses black throwing knives. She can throw them fairly far and has good aim since she's been practicing for quite a while.
[/Hider]
[hider=Double Sided Fauchard][img]http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq137/zrellik/dualpoleaxe.jpg[/img]
Leila uses a black and silver Fauchard for closer combat. Sheathed, the polearm disconnects in the middle, so when drawing the weapon it takes time to reconnect the two halves.
