I just realized I never made a plot post for this little lady. Leah seems to be one of the youngest of the bunch here, she only turned 18 in the summer. She attends NYU, she's a part of the Tisch School of Arts in the music recording program. She also works as a server at an Italian restaurant. She hails from Pennsylvania originally, but her family moved to Brooklyn when she was younger, so she's been around for most of her life. Possible connections could be through ~robyne, her mom, or ~krenard, her future step-dad. She also went to the same high school that ~presst works at, she graduated in 2010, so if there's anyone else who worked there at that time chances are she'd know them.

I'm up for any and all plot, though I know it's a little difficult since she's younger. Otherwise, I love going the organic route as well. Feel free to throw any and all ideas this way. :)

	Shelby Lee just turned 20 last week so they are close in age, if that helps to make your character not feel so young? Although, I really don't see any potential connection for them from what you've said with the exception of being a server at an Italian restaurant that maybe Shelby Lee has gone to since she doesn't cook at all but I would be down for organic or whatever!

	I forgot to mention that she's friends with ~harvie, and even closer friends with his younger brother (whom I really hope will come ig at some point). So they do have a connection after all. They might have met through him at some point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Since that's her cousin, then yes, they could definitely know each other thru Harvie and his younger brother is supposed to have drama because he's supposed to be groomed to take over shelby lee's father's oil company someday so they would all definitely have to know each other somehow. it's part of shelby lee's animosity because she wants to run the company and according to the family, she can't because she's a woman. that's why she was married off to the senator/future governor of new york.

Oooh, that's right. Well, Leah would likely be completely oblivious to that drama unless Harvie's brother told her. I don't want to puppet their relationship too much just in case he does come into the game and things change, but either way she wouldn't have any issue with Shelby Lee and would in fact feel for her if she knew the whole situation. She's too sweet for her own good, so I'm sure they'd get along. Otherwise, we can just figure out how they mesh in game. :)

	I am fine with anything, either way. Shelby Lee needs some girlfriends bad. All her friends are men over 30. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Aww, well Leah needs some girlfriends as well, so I'm totally fine with saying they're friends. That, and she's a big advocate for redheads needing to stick together. :] Maybe they met whenever she came to New York, and Leah offered to show her some of the less touristy type of places. Or something along those lines. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds good. She's only lived in New York for a few months after living in Princeton, New Jersey. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I didn't realize she lived so close before! Sorry about that... they might have met sooner then? But maybe they didn't start getting close until she moved to NY. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	javed 2011-11-06 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	yeah, she never went into ny as a student. her focus was 100% on school so it's definitely been int he past few months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So would Leah have been at Shelby Lee's wedding? If so, maybe she met Nate there? He would have been on it with the charm, at least until he and his date decided to make a competition out of who could hook up with a debutante first... And Nate isn't such a bastard normally... He blames the formal wear. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I so wish she was! But there had already be an ic conversation about her not going before we'd plotted that she and Shelby Lee would be friends. :( We'll just have to sort out another place for these two to have met. Would he have gone to any Halloween parties? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mst 2011-11-08 02:23 am UTC (link)
	He downplayed his whole Halloween a lot, but we could always say he did. They could have met at a random Halloween party, no problem. He would have been a lot nicer...and wearing some sort of ridiculous costume. Costumes are the great equalizer, haha. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Here's an idea, feel free to disregard it if it's not something you'd think he would do. In a scene that Leah is having with her mom she told her that some random guy came up to her at a Halloween party and kissed her, for no particular reason (she thinks he was dared). He had a green lantern costume on, with a mask, so she didn't even really get to see him (though the costume could be changed, it's not an important detail), so would you be interested in filling that little line? If not they could have just met and chatted a bit, no big deal, just figured I'd ask. :)

	Haha that actually sounds exactly like something Nate would do, given that he was probably pretty intoxicated and unidentifiable because of the mask. So presumably he would recognize her in future meetings but she wouldn't know it was him? Except for height, maybe eyes and hair? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Haha she would have absolutely no clue what he looked like other than generalizations, and even then she wouldn't guess it was him. I mean, her reaction was understandably one of shock, though she did kiss him back, but her arms were flailing at her side while thinking WHAT DO I DO WITH MY ARMS, WHO IS THIS GUY, OMG HE IS A GOOD KISSER. so yeah, she was quite the spaz about it and he'd be the mystery guy that would likely be starring in her daydreams for the next little while. bwahah.

	This sounds kind of adorable, haha. I don't know that Nate would tell her, but he'd talk to her as if they'd met before because that's just the kind of guy he is. Shelby Lee is one of his best friends, too, so maybe they could re-meet that way? And Nate can be like.."Haha, wow, that's the girl I snog-and-jogged at that party.."

	Ha! I love it! 'Meeting' through Shelby Lee sounds fabulous, Leah would just kind of look at him a little oddly at first and wonder if she knew him from somewhere or if he was just that friendly of a guy, all while being completely oblivious. :D (Reply to this) (Parent)
