Appearance: When you first see her, you are definitely not struck by her beauty. She is of a plain and ordinary breed, with probably average looks. She is slender and fairly tall, but don't let this fool you. She is unusually strong for one so slim. Her fur is not long, but couldn't be considered medium either. It is silky to the touch, but she is wary of letting others near enough to do so. It is a interesting mix of white, gray, and black though, but it could hardly be called 'pretty.' What makes her remarkable is when she moves. Silent as a cat, she seems to glide. She carries herself with presence, and it is hard not to stare, at least while she is in motion. When she returns to her stationary position, she turns back into that ordinary girl-next-door wolf.
Personality: Leah likes company, but hasn't been lucky in this department so far. She is outspoken, often voicing her thoughts despite their lack of tact, at times. She stands up for herself, and protects others who don't have as strong of a personality as she. She is rather energetic, but can easily be one of the most patient wolves there are. Once she has her mind set on something, it would take a pack of wolves to stop her.

History: Leah has lived a fairly easy life. Her parents were betas in a small pack, a close-knit family. She knew all of the other puppies, and had plans to stay with the pack and perhaps find a mate someday. She had a best friend, Xei. He was charming and funny, and just had a way about him that she was drawn to. He wasn't as attached to the pack as she was, but she didn't blame him. His parents didn't have a set rank, but were a part of the pack. He wanted to make a name for himself. As soon as they were skilled enough to live on their own, he asked her to be his mate and set out with him in search of broader horizons. She hat first said no, but he hung around for a bit and then left. Once he was gone, she realized just how much he meant to her, and just how much she... loved him. She went off in search of him, to find he was having second thoughts about leaving her and loitering nearby. They set off together, and had some good times together, despite the often meager food. But one fateful day, they came across humans. It wasn't long before the five humans had the wolves surrounded. They came closer and closer, and Xei launched himself at one of them, truly scared out of his wits. He was shot, and immediately dropped dead. Before she too could attack, she was shot with a tranquilizer and quickly became unconscious. When she woke up, she was here on this island, terribly alone. She's scouted her way along, carefully keeping out of sight and hearing until she knew the layout and what pack lived where. She is finally ready to become visible again, instead of the phantom others had begin to talk about.</sup>
