LEAH SERENA WILDELeah Serena Wilde, or Leah, as she is more commonly known, is a fifteen year old girl, born on the 8th of March in San Diego. She is a freshman. She is now residing in Los Angeles with her mother, father, elder sister and two baby brothers.
Appearance
Distinguishing features: Leah has a very babyish face with almond shaped brown eyes, a sharp blunt tipped nose and soft chubby cheeks. Her chestnut brown hair is a little on the wavy side and ends right above her shoulder blades. She likes to keep it side parted and with wispy bangs that cover her forehead. She’s a little over 5’5”, medium built with no curves to speak of yet.
Tattoos/piercings: Nada
Clothing: Just like her eldest sister, Leah loves everyday normal wear. In that aspect, her sister and herself are pretty plain. They both love jeans, sweat pants, flowy dresses and t-shirts. Of course, that doesn’t mean that Leah wouldn’t add an extra layer or two over her usual tops. She likes to pair things up with a faux leather jacket or a cardigan or sometimes even a trench coat. Unlike her sister however, Leah doesn’t really bother too much with accessories or make up. She would on occasion tie her hair up with a barrette or push her bangs away from her face with a hair band or a hair clip. An everyday outfit for Leah: www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=25509171
Personality Leah is a pretty shy kid. Growing up with the golden child just a few years older than her, she’s used to being in the shadows and in many ways, she’s quite happy with it. Having to live with the perfect child as your eldest sister is pretty tough and sometimes, Leah can be a bit bitter about it but in the end, she still loves her eldest sister and will on occasion feel like she could follow in her elder sister’s footsteps.
She can be quite inquisitive and on several occasions, she’s gotten into trouble for being so curious. Leah wants to step out of her sister’s shadows and try to grow into herself which sometimes leads her to do things that seem impossible. She has a real do or die trying spirit despite her quiet nature.
Leah’s quite willing to make friends and she’s pretty strongly opinionated but usually just keeps quiet about it.
Thoughts on High School: She heard the news from her sister and was pretty rattled by the whole thing, making her quite apprehensive to get to high school.
Likes:
- Hand me downs. She looks quite good in them.
- Quiet time. She spends it reading or writing.
- Singing. Nobody but her shower head knows this particular passion.
- Collecting seashells. She loves walking down the beach collecting them.
- Repairing things. Since she was a kid, Leah’s been very keen on fixing things. Her father helped hone in those skills.
- Ice Lemon Tea. It’s her favourite drink ever.
- She has a patch of cloth that has her initials on them that she keeps under her bed.
- Old black and white films.
- Video games. She could spend hours on her Playstation with her pile of not so popular video games.
- Old photos. She loves the texture and the imagery of old photos. Ones that are yellowing with the sides curling.
- The number 23. It’s a magical number for her.
- Jigsaw puzzles. Her father gave it to her once for her 5th birthday, she fell instantly in love.
Dislikes:
- Spending money on clothes, jewellery and accessories. She’d rather spend it on food, books and electronic gadgets. And video games.
- The color purple.
- Being dirty.
- Hearing rumors.
- Ice cream. She prefers icies.
- People who damage books.
- Balloons. She doesn’t like it when they pop.
- History. It depresses her.
- Homophobics. It saddens her that people are too narrow minded to see that they’re still human beings.
- Horror movies.
Fears: Never being able to live up to her parents’ expectations.
Hopes: Leah wants to get out of her sister’s shadows one day.
History
Parents: Lisa and Mark Wilde.
Siblings: Carmen [17], Jake [9] and Will [7].
Others: Grandma who visits on occasion, Celia Burke.
Medical History: She fell from a swing and hit her chest on the concrete below. She passed out for five hours.
Life History: She was born Leah Serena Wilde on a bright sunny day and nothing really significant happened during her childhood. She did try to run away once during a particularly spiteful day where her mother accidentally said something that upset Leah. But she wasn’t even gone for an hour when her father found her at a nearby playground.
Having a sister who won achievement awards after state competitions after talent shows, Leah wanted to try not to be compared to her by her parents but it was a little unfortunate that there was no stopping the comparisons. But Leah kept on keeping on. It helped that her sister never rubbed it in her face and was always so gracious with her.
They actually moved to LA when Leah was twelve and by then, they had already enrolled Carmen into Gould. The stories Carmen would come back with everyday made Leah think of it as an amusement park. Up until the day Carmen came back from the shooting. Leah tried to be brave about it and now that she was going to join her sister in school, she just really hopes the teachers won’t start comparing her to her elder sister.

“Would you stop fidgeting? I’m trying to make it perfect!” Leah giggled and turned to look at Carmen who was fixing her hair into a side braid. “Thanks.” The younger Wilde sister beamed at her elder sister. Carmen made a face at her before pinching her cheeks. “You’re my baby sister, I live for this. Now stay still!”
“Do I get to sign up for extra-curricular activities like on the first day or something? Because I wanna do fencing.”
Carmen nodded appreciatively. “Not too bad. Very ambitious.”
“I know! And I also want to try for the debate team. I mean I know I don’t really talk much-“
Carmen burst out laughing. “Okay, fine...I don’t talk much outside of the house. Happy?”
“A little more accurate.”
“But yeah...maybe I could try for the debate team and also the marching band. I wanna play the drums. Can I play the drums? They’re not heavy are they?”
“I wouldn’t know, Leah now stay still! It’s almost done.” Leah stayed still then and within seconds, Carmen was done and she let Leah look at the mirror. “Carmen that looks pretty good.”
Carmen shrugged before yanking Leah out of the chair. “Come on, we’ll be late.”
