Indeed, Lea adores anything glittery and anything pink, and shamelessly so-she is practically guaranteed to be wearing something both sparkly and pink at any given moment. Lea has chocolate-brown eyes that are perpetually sparkling with mirth. Although her lips are rather thin, they are always curved up in a cheerful smile or a cheeky grin. There is usually a dash of playful mischief in her expression, and always a heaping amount of enthusiastic optimism. Lea has a very expressive face. She never makes any attempt to hide her true feelings, and every single emotion that passes through her shows on her features. Lea has gleaming black hair, which she plays around with all the time. Some days, it's curled, while some days it's straightened. Some days, she wears it up, while on other days, she wears it down. Lea likes to keep her hair relatively short, just so that it doesn't get in the way (she really can't abide by sitting still, and definitely moves around way more than she probably should), though she wishes she had the patience to let it grow long (because long hair is pretty!). Lea is around average height, standing at an unremarkable five feet and six inches, although she is on the slimmer side. Lea is covered with lean, sinewy muscle from doing gymnastics since she was five or six years old, and she moves with a breezy brusqueness, even in seven-inch platform heels. Overall, Lea isn't supermodel gorgeous, but there is something about her infectious grin and good-natured cheer that makes her all the more attractive.[/INDENT] [color=palevioletred][b]๐ŸŒธ๐“Ÿ๐“ฎ๐“ป๐“ผ๐“ธ๐“ท๐“ช๐“ต๐“ฒ๐“ฝ๐”‚[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]At a first glance, Lea is unnecessarily focused on small, overly specific details and unbearably girly. She is bubbly and outgoing, and her friendly, cheerful disposition is well-liked by her peers, even if they do make fun of her for her propensity of wearing high heels everywhere she goes. Though Lea can be very prissy and a bit shallow or superficial, she doesn't have a single mean bone in her body. She can talk about anything and everything for hours on end. Some tend to find this incessant chatter exceedingly irritating, which Lea is not always the most aware of. She is a kind and sweet person at heart, and she refuses to say anything bad about other people as a general principle. Lea is a friendly chatterbox with too much energy to be healthy. Blessed with an endless reserve of enthusiasm, Lea is quite easy to get along with and can strike up a conversation with anyone and everyone, about anything and everything. Despite her obsession with pretty clothes and make-up, Lea is a very grounded and down-to-earth person, with no patience for sitting around contemplating esoteric philosophical principles all day. She'd rather go out and actually [i]do[/i] something, thank you very much. If Lea is not always aware of how much she talks, she [i]is[/i] aware of the feelings and thoughts of others. Lea is naturally people-smart and is good at picking up subtle hints that indicate shifts in emotions in others. She's a very good listener and always willing to offer comfort to other people. Empathetic, understanding, and ceaselessly cheerful, Leah is perpetually impeccably organized and ready for anything. She's a bit of a perfectionist with a stickler for keeping everything neat and color-coded (though, one could argue, color-coding is pretty pointless if everything is just pink). Lea has an infernal inability to keep her mouth shut on things that don't really matter, making her an incorrigible gossip-something that her parents probably hate her for and the Aciran media gobbles up. Despite her rather silly tendencies, Lea is a natural-born diplomat and compromiser, capable of expertly mediating tense situations. Armed with a firm belief in common courtesy and a natural gift for "reading" people, she is able to get even the most stubborn of people to agree to things through the application of hot drinks and sugary treats and pure politeness. She has a breezy, brisk way of going about her business, and she is remarkably good at keeping track of and managing people, for all her sparkly ways. Finally, although one wouldn't guess it from Lea's outward appearance and mannerisms, Lea possesses a sharp intelligence and an ability to analyze all sorts of problems and situations in the blink of an eye. She is most certainly not as ditzy as she comes off as, in terms of academics and things like ruling the country or the effects of anthropogenic carbon dioxide on coral reefs. Armed with sparkly pink miniskirts, sparkly pink planners (made of recycled paper!), and a vast collection of sparkly pink heels, Lea is ready to take on being Aciras's future queen and fixing everything that humans have done to ruin the environment, one annoying conservative climate-change denier at a time.[/INDENT] [color=palevioletred][b]๐ŸŒธ๐“›๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ๐“ผ + ๐““๐“ฒ๐“ผ๐“ต๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ๐“ผ[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]๐“›๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ๐“ผ: flowers and floral print (Lea is obsessed with flowers, for some obscure reason that even she is not entirely sure of), PLANTS, veggie sushi, bubble tea, any restaurants that serve vegan dishes, spaghetti, watermelon and watermelon juice, short, ruffled/pleated skirts, crop tops, tank tops/spaghetti strap tank tops, sundresses, the smell of old books, sweets and sugary drinks, up-cycled anything, organization, sparkly gel plans and colorful planners, history, period dresses (she adores Victorian-era gowns), museums, high heels, choker necklaces, make-up, shopping, hoop earrings, cute clothes in general, strawberry milkshakes, tumbling, glitter/sparkles, pop music (especially of the "trashy" variety), pop culture in general, acrylic nails, period dramas (because the outfits are [i]so[/i] gorgeous), her hot-pink car, her sisters, social media, environmental science, environmental law, all the great environmental non-profit organizations that are based in Aciras, all the great environmental non-profit organizations from anywhere in the world, sustainable fashion, "vegan" anything, learning about the rad new eco-friendly tech/commodities that people are developing, anything pink, ANIMALS, the earth, artistic gymnastics/dance (her favorite event is definitely floor, for all the fun dance elements she can include), being active, strawberries, Starbucks and other cafes that serve cancer-inducing sugary drinks, vlogging, posting way too much personal information on various forms of social media, using way-too-obscure texting acronyms IRL, pride parades, LGBTQ+ and environmental activists of every variety ๐““๐“ฒ๐“ผ๐“ต๐“ฒ๐“ด๐“ฎ๐“ผ: when people admonish her for "literally being on her phone all the goddamn time" (her mother's words, not hers!), annoying ass "climate change is a hoax" conservatives, racist people, sexist people, homophobic people, boats (she gets horribly seasick), hamburgers and just eating meat or animal products in general (why should she derive pleasure from literally eating cooked animal carcass?

Ayleanna has gone by Lea ever since she was a toddler. Indeed, her mother was the one who first began calling her "Lea", and the name just stuck. From the moment that she was born, Lea was in the spotlight. The Aciran public found the spunky little princess to be endearingly charming, and with the addition of Lea's younger sister approximately three years later, the royal siblings became the darlings of Aciras. Lea grew up being tutored and taking online classes in various subjects. In her free time, she became fascinated with all things fashion (she [i]did [/i]live near one of the fashion capitals of the world, after all), and with cute animals (because who [i]wouldn't[/i] be fascinated with cute animals?). When Lea was around thirteen years old, she was able to take an environmental science class through the online program that she was enrolled in. That was when her interest in all things environmental began-not only did she quickly grasp the underlying science behind ocean acidification, coastal eutrophication, global warming, and the like, she realized that as the princess of one most wasteful nations in the world, she could actually make a significant difference in world-wide environmental degradation. Lea wrote to a couple environmental non-profits and organizations and got in contact with many other environmental groups around the world. Once word got out that the Aciran princess was extremely supportive of any efforts to help the environment, Lea suddenly found herself swarmed by both the media and various other environmental NGOs. Of course, the more conservative of the Acirans were quite against Lea's outspoken nature regarding environmental problems, and her parents have (on more than one occasion) asked if she could please tone it down a [i]little[/i] bit, pretty please with a cherry on top? Lea lowkey ignored her parents and charged on ahead. At 18, she enrolled in online classes at the nearby Lynston University, renowned for its law school. Lea is currently in her third year there, double majoring in Environmental Thought and Practice and Environmental Science, with the intention of going to Lynston University's law school after she finishes her undergrad coursework (with a focus on environmental law and policy, of course). Lea's social media presence is also very widespread-her Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, and YouTube channel all have millions of followers, and her vlogs are very popular in Aciras. Lea's vegan YouTube channel (where she films the palace cooks preparing yummy vegan dishes) is her pride and joy, and the blog where she posts the same recipes is also quite popular. All in all, Lea is definitely Aciras's sweetheart-outgoing and charismatic, Lea is able to make anyone she meets feel liked. Lea is amicable and agreeable, and open and accepting of everybody (save for annoying climate-change deniers and racist, sexist, and/or homophobic people). Lea is somewhat of a controversial figure amongst the older generation; some like her open and outspoken nature, while others find it "unseemly" of a princess. In any case, Lea isn't going to let them stop her; #HatersGonHate, as she would say. Indeed, it was quite a scandal when Lea breezily told some interviewer or the other that she was "totally bi" (to which the interviewer responded, "What?" and Lea replied, "Yeah, girls are pretty! And guys are too!"). Lea is always running around from one place to the other, attending conferences and meetings and sometimes even green fashion shows (she wholeheartedly supports sustainable fashion brands!), and she is never without a pair of suicidally-high stilettos and her (extremely extensive) vegan make-up kit.

Although Queen Cecilia is rather left-leaning, the two monarchs try to keep the royal platform squarely in the center in order to avoid any long, drawn-out conflicts between the conservative and liberal factions of Aciras's constitutional monarchy. Queen Cecilia is Lea's older sister, by seven years.

It is also one of the wealthiest nations, as well as one of the most wasteful. As one of the more powerful nations in the world, Aciran "mainstream" culture is well-known in many of the other countries, if only in their large cities. Its cultural influence stretches far and wide across the globe. Aciras's constitutional monarchy is simultaneously admired and the butt end of many light-hearted jokes. Their political system [i]does[/i] grant the common people some say in the government; however, the Aciran legislative branch and Aciran politicians are constantly bickering with each other and can never seem to agree on anything. The Aciran government is also known for being surprisingly tolerant of dissent, criticism, and demonstrations and protests. In fact, peaceful demonstrations sometimes receive the support of the royal family if they have to do with issues that the king or queen is keen on. Of course, the Acirans do not take national security lightly, and any potential breach of security is shut down very quickly. Aciras is a hotspot for art and pop culture; indeed, New Lincoln City is one of the fashion capitals of the world, and Los Santos is the home to many famous movie directors and actors/actresses. Aciras is an extremely diverse country, being the home to many immigrants, and as such it is nicknamed the "melting pot". Last but not least, the Aciran military is a force to be reckoned with-there's a reason that Aciras has been able to spread its influence around the world, after all.[/INDENT] [color=palevioletred][b]๐ŸŒธ๐“ก๐“ฎ๐“ฌ๐“ฎ๐“ท๐“ฝ/๐“ก๐“ฎ๐“ต๐“ฎ๐“ฟ๐“ช๐“ท๐“ฝ ๐“š๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ฐ๐“ญ๐“ธ๐“ถ ๐“—๐“ฒ๐“ผ๐“ฝ๐“ธ๐“ป๐”‚[/b] โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•โ€•[/color] [INDENT]ยป Aciras was established as a constitutional monarchy following a bloody revolution in the 1700s. The most notable feature of the Aciran government is the elected legislative branch. ยป Through the years, two distinct "factions" formed within the Aciran political system-conservatives and liberals-though there are multiple parties that fall under each category. Conservatives usually favor greater social control and lesser economic control by the government, while liberals usually favor lesser social control and greater economic control. ยป Aciras was one of the earlier countries to industrialize, due to the fact that its economic system (free-market capitalism) favored those who found more efficient ways to earn money. Today, it is one of the wealthiest nations in the world. ยป However, the wealth was most definitely not distributed equally, and neither were the effects of industrialization. Around 1900, it was agreed that the state of Texas would become an independent nation (known as the Texas Sovereignty). This was brought about without the violence that characterized the first revolution. ยป As Aciras's wealth grew, so did its the might of its military and its influence around the world. Aciras became 'culturally' dominant, and mainstream Aciran celebrities/movies/art/literature is well-known around the globe. ยป Not only is Aciras one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but it is also one of the most wasteful. A drawback of the Aciran political system is that there is no way for the monarchs to instate harsh environmental regulations without the approval of the legislature, which has always had enough conservatives to veto any regulation that they deem too constrictive. However, things may just yet change with Queen Cecilia on the throne.
