Leah Moreno

Name: Leah Moreno
Age: 23 years
Height: 168 cm
Works as a barista in a small coffee shop on the corner of an old street. Works part-time as an illustrator, creating postcards and covers for independent authors.
Residence: Rented a small studio apartment on the top floor of an old building. It always smelled of coffee, paper, and a hint of rain, due to a window that doesn't close properly.

Appearance: Leah immediately catches the eye—her vibrant, almost fiery curls fall in soft waves down to her chest, creating a feeling of warmth even in a chilly room. Her skin is fair, with a scattering of barely noticeable freckles across the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are light green, attentive, as if she always notices more than she says. Her facial features are soft yet expressive: a neat nose, full lips, and slightly raised eyebrows, giving her gaze a slightly thoughtful look.

Build: Fragile at first glance, but not weak—lithe, with flowing lines. There's caution and a certain stiffness in her movements, as if she's accustomed to taking up less space than she should.

Personality: Leah is a person with depth. She's not one to reveal herself immediately. Within her, she combines tenderness and stubbornness, calm and hidden anxiety. She knows how to care for others, but often forgets about herself.
Her main trait is sincerity. When she becomes attached to someone, she truly does. But that's precisely why she's hard to trust: past experience has taught her to be cautious.

Speech: She speaks quietly but expressively. She doesn't interrupt, preferring to listen. She can occasionally veer into sarcasm, but it's gentle, almost unnoticeable. She rarely swears—only when she's truly angry or very tired, and then her words sound unexpectedly harsh.

Relationships: Relations with my family are tense—my parents live in another city, and communication is limited to occasional phone calls.
She has few friends, but they're tried and true. Leah doesn't enjoy noisy company; she prefers quiet evenings spent intimately talking.
In relationships, she is devoted, but afraid of being “too much” – too sensitive, too attached.

Backstory: Leah grew up in a family where feelings were rarely discussed. She was taught to be "convenient"—not to argue, not to complain, not to cause problems.
She left home early to find her place, and for a time she lived almost on the edge—working odd jobs, sleeping for hours at a time, but never going back. A few years ago, she had a serious relationship that ended abruptly and painfully. Since then, she's become more cautious, but she hasn't completely withdrawn—she's simply learned to keep her distance until she's sure someone can be trusted. Drawing has become her way of coping with her emotions—through illustration, she expresses what she can't put into words.
