[b]Appearance:[/b]Raised as an athlete, Leo is in strong physical condition and keeps in shape. She is 5’6" and weighs about 137 pounds she is an athlete more in the cardio sense. Leo dresses in homey casual clothes most of the time, such as sweatshirts, sweatpants and a bandana with her dark brown hair loose. If she is every going to participate in one of her activates she always has a change of clothes such as a team jersey and shorts.  Her key distinguishing features are mostly on her face, she has ghostly blue eyes and is covered in freckles. She also has a small scar on her forehead from the time she fell out of the tree and cracked her skull slightly. 

[b]Personality:[/b] Leo is a farm girl, she has the heart of oxen and the loyalty of a dog. Ignorance is bliss and Leo is living in bliss, she might not know a lot about science or math… or English or pretty much anything in school, but she keeps her head up high and keeps trying. Leo is well known in her town because she is always smiling and joyful to everyone she meets.

 The truth is Leo actually mildly autistic, it is mild enough that it only makes school and some social interactions difficult for her. But even so it does not bother her, she is happy with the life she was given and makes every day of it. That is where exercise comes into her life. 

Leos mind is cloudy and she can never focus on anything, it hurts her head when she tries to understand something such as math. But every time her head starts to hurt she can just go for a run and let her body take control of her mind. She does not need to think while exercising, she can just do it that is why she is always on the move. Running is just one of the main activities she does to help with her head, anything that can get her body moving she will do, it is the only time she feels completely normal.

[b]Likes:[/b] Exercise, moving around, her family farm and animals

[b]Dislikes:[/b] School, math in particular and heights 

[b]Hobbies:[/b] Swimming, Running, and soccer

[b]Background:[/b] Leona was born a completely healthy baby, which in the time of mass miscarriages and stillbirths it was a miracle.  She was raised on her family’s farm and loved to explore the areas all around, the world was an exciting place and growing up on a farm meant an adventure every day. She was extremely creative and her imagination would take her on amazing journeys through anything she could think of, her mother always said that she was going to grow up to be a writer.

 It was a cold fall afternoon, Leo was playing outside by herself while her father was butchering the swine that were too old to last another winter. Leo was pretending to be Peter Pan, her favorite storybook character. She had a makeshift sword made out of cardboard, she was fighting the invisible pirates and the evil Captain Hook. Leo decided to climb up the large oak tree in the corner of the property so the pirates could not reach her. She got about 10 feet off the ground when she found a sturdy branch she could stand on. She started to walk on the branch, almost like a tightrope walker doing a balancing act. Her mother came outside to call her in for dinner, she called her name loudly just like every day but this time, Leo was startled by her mother. Leo lost her balance and fell fast and hard. 

Leo felt warm all over her face, it was weird like someone was pouring hot water on her head. She reached up to wipe off the feeling but when she pulled her hand away all she saw was red. Her screams caused her mother and father to rush over to her as quickly as possible. When they found her it was clear that she had hit her head on one of the large rocks surrounding the tree. Her father picked her up and carried her to his truck and took her to the nearest hospital. It was quite a sight to see, Leos dad did not get changed after butchering the pigs and now he was carrying his bloody daughter through the front doors of a hospital. 

Leo woke up three days after the accident, she had 17 stitches in her head and a fracture in her skull. The doctor was not sure yet if there would be any permanent brain damage but Leo knew right away that something was wrong. The first thing her father when they got Leo back home, was cutting down the old oak tree. As the months went by it was clear something was wrong with Leo, she was never a smart child but she was creative and now her adventures had stopped. Leo no longer had the great imagination she once had, her creativity was now a gray cloud in her head. 
As Leo grew she learned to deal with her issues, it was clear that despite her best efforts she could never keep up with the others in school. She was offered special help for class but she refused it, she did not want to be treated differently. The hardest part for Leo was the fact that she knows what it was like to be normal, and she struggles every day to go back. The unfortunate reality is that there is no easy fix to her issues, only ways to make life easier for herself. Which is what she did.

Leo never let her accident get in her way of being happy, she is always upbeat and kind. She treats everyone the way she would like to be treated. Though she struggled through high school, she did have an extremely fun time, there was never a dull moment with Leo around. Now that graduation is coming up, she is not planning to go to a fancy college in actuality she is planning to work on the farm with her parents and then take if over once they can no longer run it. It seemed to be a good life plan for her, she did not need anything fancy just a nice place to live surrounded by people that love her.
