When people do manage to look at Mitch, most find her quite average: She has shoulder-length mousey brown hair and medium skin. She is on the shorter and thinner side, but not so much as to be the “most” anything: The curves of her body are slight, when not obstructed by poor posture and loose outfits. Her features are generally soft, and she has a girlish, round face; the kind of face that “could be pretty,” as one of her old schoolmates once said, if she took the time to maintain her looks. Her dark brown eyes typically appear out of focus, as she is legally blind beyond the point of prescription correction. She wears glasses to work at her computer, along with a magnified font. Outside of this, she uses no vision aids, "because it's just different kind of blurry after six inches." [b]Personality:[/b] Mitch is a young woman of intense cleverness, determination, and social awkwardness. In terms of living with her blindness, Mitch is well aware of her limits, but refuses to accept that they somehow make her less capable. She has a great deal of ingenuity, and uses it to pioneer new ways of doing things and securing independence. Despite this, she is hyper-aware of the opinions of others, and often assumes the worst from what those around her say and do. She claims otherwise, but any indication that someone dislikes her is taken to heart. To compensate, most of Mitch’s life, from friends to hobbies, exists online. She’s an avid and skilled member of the “Hactivist” community, fueled on by an innate sense of justice as well as her father’s career in information technology. Her sense of humor reflects the digital world she lives in, and is mostly made up of biting sarcasm, Internet absurdism, and self-deprecation. [b]Skills:[/b] Has a stable familiar- See below Comprised the entire runic alphabet into keyboard format with the intent of using it for rune-infused infiltration Excellent computer skills; can hack basically anything with an internet connection. [b]Weaknesses:[/b] Legally blind: Mitch can only see about eight inches in front of her face when using maximum correction and a reader’s glass. She is also is not very good at the words and human-type things all the time. [b]Brief History:[/b] Leila was born to a mother and father, though public record shows otherwise: Outside of the magical community and a few intelligence agency servers, she was never born at all. Allegedly, he father was a Computer Science Professor at Oxford University, and her mother was a government accountant. Less on the record, Mitch is pretty sure her dad works in cyber warfare, and may have killed somebody. Her mom definitely killed someone, and also probably works for some agency related to hiding monstrous summons. But her mom travels a lot. So, you know. *shrugs.* Aside from the discovery of her disability, she had a relatively stable early childhood, filled with love and doting, if not an unreasonable amount of in-home security measures. By the time Leila was seven, her eyesight had grown weak enough that she needed to use a cane or a guide to navigate. Hoping to give her daughter a sense of independence, as well as a companion, Mrs. Ingram tutored her in the art of Familiar Conjuraton. Over the next year, Leila became proficient enough to open a small portal, through which a small creature fumbled. Only, instead of a fluffy or comforting guide, Leila managed to summon a dragon-like abomination with six legs, purple fur, a beetle carapace, insect wings, and two mouths, one inside the other. It bonded on sight, and she named it Apple. In her preteen years, she followed her father to his lessons and sat in the back of his lectures, learning what she could and occasionally picking up a few dollars in exchange for helping someone with her homework. It was during this time that she took up the alias of Mitch Ingram, finding that the small software packets and apps she had been working on were more likely to gain consideration under a masculine name. Her father took to the new title, and before long, both he and his students had taken to calling her by her chosen name. Up until Marchand, Mitch’s schedule remained relatively the same: She kept to herself (and Apple) during her free time, used her cane to go to class with her father, and developed most of her social connections through the Internet. [b]Other[/b]: Mitch is legally blind, and can only see about six inches in front of her face with maximum correction and a reader's glass. Due to this, she navigates using a guide companion abomination. Her guide is a stable, permanent familiar who goes by Apple. ("Because he's a bit useless, and not all that impressive.") Apple is the size of a small dog, with a dragon-like body shape. He has six legs, and is covered in a thick layer of purple fur. His underbelly features a carapace not dissimilar to that of a cockroach, and he has wings on his back to match. His tail is prehensile and features a barb that can occasionally drip acid when he is excited, and he has two mouths, one inside of the other. He likes to sleep on top of Mitch's feet, and wears a harness that reads "Working animal! Do not pet," while working as a guide.
