Family: Kristen Van Eeden, sister.
Relationship with family members: Very close to her older sister Kristen. Has no contact with other family members since they both went to Tulsa.
Background/history: Ran away from her abusive parents in Texas with sister Kristen 4 years ago, when she was only just turned 11 years old and Kristen was 18. They escaped to Tulsa with the little money they managed to steal from their old home. Ever since then they had been very protective of each other, and promised to always look after each other, as they were all they had left. With no parents, no money, and no one to help them, they found it hard to settle in. Now they live in a small house close to The Dingo, and both sisters work there. Leah was failing most of her classes at her new school, the main reason for this being she hardly ever attended, so she decided to dropout. This upset her sister, who has been trying to give her the best life she could. Sometimes Leah still, even after all these years, has nightmares about her old life in Texas.
Personality: Leah can be highly confident, sometimes coming across as overconfident and arrogant; she is rarely shy. She has a good sense of humour and laughs a lot, even at things she doesn't really find funny. She's very caring towards her close friends and sister. If anyone hurts the people she loves, she makes it her responsibility to teach them a lesson. Trusting people is something she finds very difficult, she doesn't like people to become too close to her, as she sees it as a weakness. Can be very argumentative, and has a bad temper (Especially when Socs are involved). She's strong-minded, and finds it hard to see things from other perspectives. Was never brought up knowing good manners and how to respect people.
Talents: Very good roller-skate/ice-skate, dance and act (which also means she is good at lying when she wants to be).
Faults: Isn't very intelligent (or so she thinks). Easily portrayed as being rude. Never sees things from other people's point of view, nor does she think about how things will affect others. Impatient. Can have mood swings: one minute she will be her loud, bubbly self, and then she can be the complete opposite. Has no tolerance whatsoever for Socs, or even middle class - as soon as she labels someone a Soc, she hates them and nothing can make her think any different. Also has trust issues.
Habits: Has been smoking since she was 12, and has tried more than once to quit. Without it she's moody and gets in even more fights than usual. Bites her lips when she is nervous. Giggles at thinks that aren't even particularly funny.
Interests/hobbies: Likes to go to the movies, and any place where there is dancing. Other than that, she just enjoys hanging out with her friends.
Other information: Loves Elvis Presley, aswell as the Beatles. Finds the idea of settling down with one person for the rest of your life strange. Like her sister, would love to have kids - 5, to be exact. Has a reputation of being a fighter, which she is proud of.
