When I look into all of your stupid faces
I think how fun it will be to pound them into dust
Hair: Black.
Height and Weight: 5’6, 130lbs.
Other Distinguishing Features: She has a very scarred back. It has many small palm sized burn scars peppering it. These flow up over onto her right shoulder and a little bit down her front.
Overall Appearance: Leilani is thin but curvy in shape. She has decently wide hips and fair sized breasts. Her limbs are short but proportionate. She could be explained as having a slightly hourglass figure. Her body is very well-muscled from athletics, especially surfing, water skiing and swimming. Lani’s face is rounded with a slight heart shape to it. Her features are small but pleasant and her hair is short cropped and black. It forms around her face pleasantly and gives her a more mature look most of the time. Lani is almost always smiling and tends to hold herself with an assured confidence that comes from years of un-expected experiences teaching you how to handle yourself.

Man up or I'll beat you with my peace prize!
Dislikes: Being stuck indoors for long periods, boredom, sitting still for too long, stiffs, too much maturity, natural disasters, economic issues, restricted minds, know-it-alls, visitors with bad courtesy (bring a gift damn it), Shoes inside the house, her status as an American State being questioned (“Do you take American?!”), Polluters, People who disrupt the wildlife or plants, People stealing black sand or lava rock from Hawai’i.
Strengths: She is exceptionally athletic, open minded and intellectual. Leila is very outgoing, social and easy to get along with. Her strengths are many.
Weaknesses: She is fussy about her personal etiquette and can take offense when people don’t follow it, despite her initial tolerance. The longer you know her the worse this gets. Lani is very energetic and always going which means she has a hard time slowing down. She tends to force people into things they don’t want to do.
Fears: Loud and sudden noises (This is only since Pearl Harbour), A natural disaster overpowering and destroying her islands, a second pearl harbour, nuclear warfare, the various states disputing, a second civil war she may have to be a part of.
Secrets: None come to mind.
Any Quirks/Habits: She tends to jump into things too quickly for her own good, flitting from interest to interest, changing her mind often, fiddling with things, running around doing her own thing even when with other people.
Overall Personality:
Courageous: She has very prominent courage. She isn’t afraid to face her fears or to do what has to be done. Very little frightens her and what does she is able to cope and deal with for the most part. There is one exception to this and that is loud sudden noises. Other than that, She is exceptional at dealing with her fears.
Outgoing: Lani is extremely outgoing. She can speak to anyone with ease and very little about socializing makes her uncomfortable. She is more than willing to get up in front of a crowd and speak if need be and definitely doesn’t fear the judgement of others. She is just all around charismatic, easy to talk to and more than willing to get out there and start the conversation.
Intelligent: Leila seeks knowledge wherever she can find it. She loves history and going to new places to learn new things. She is able to retain information with ridiculous accuracy and has a knack for languages. Over all she is very intellectual and academic.
Athletic:Leilani is exceptional at a number of sports. She is very physically fit and spends a lot of her time outdoors in the ocean. She loves various activities and on top of doing it for a healthy lifestyle she does it for pure entertainment value.
Adventurous: This is a given. With all the things there are to explore and the huge world in which to explore them, Leilan is unlikely to just stay at home. She travels around, explores and has fun all around the board. She loves dragging others into her adventures with her as well…
Motivated: This is a dominant trait. When she wants to do something she has all the motivations she needs. Getting into the mindset of something that needs to get done isn’t hard for Leila. She just sets her mind to it, does the research, makes the plans and gets out there. Or…more often than not, she just dives in before she understands what she is getting into; it’s more fun that way.
Fickle: Her biggest negative. Lani changes her mind a lot. She tends to flip here and there with her decisions. As such she tends to be against committing to anything 100% because she may decide something else is more fun. When she does commit it means that much more as a result and she will be sure to meet all her commitments.
Adaptable: Another trait she needs. When she dives into things she needs to be able to adapt. She is resourceful and clever enough to make do with what she has. Lani is never fully out of her element as a result of this trait. She just takes what she has and works with it.
Impulsive: Remember my mentioning that she often dives in? Well this comes from her impulsiveness. She often just goes and acts on a whim. She may decide she wants to do something completely ridiculous like randomly fly to Japan. That day she is on her plane and off to Japan. It happens sometimes…
Sarcastic: Leilan deals with a lot of her issues through sarcasm. She loves humour and sarcasm is the best kind. She tends to approach things she is frightened of with sarcasm as a weapon as well. It’s her tool for coping.
Open-Minded: This is a key to her personality. Leilani is able to keep an open mind to understand new ideas. Because she is always looking to learn, she has to keep her mind open to new ideas, new approaches and new beliefs. She isn’t willing to shut down anything until she has stretched it to the limits to see what it has to offer her.
