Name: Leta Mariangela Yiska
Age: 19 years old
Class (Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior: Senior, held back a year
Reason for enrolling: To improve her singing voice, learning to write her own songs, photography
Appearance:
Although small in height, only 5’1 or so, and small in weight, only around 100 lbs, she isn’t one to be underestimated. She has been in fights before, and she has won the majority of them. She usually wears a sleeveless or a short sleeved shirt, usually white with black trimming, and black cargo pants. Around her delicate wrists are two leather, studded wristbands, and her brother’s military dog tags are always around her neck. She tends to wear black eyeliner, a little dark for most people’s taste, and her nails are usually painted black with small detailing, occasionally letters of words. The most famous words are, on her left hand, ‘Lives’, on her right hand ‘Death’. Her hair is jet black, cut short in a sort of pixie cut almost. Her bottom lip is pierced twice in snake bite fashion, her ears pierced four times, starting with the lobe and up to the high cartilage, with gemstone studs. The usual combination is Amethyst, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire. Her tongue is pierced as well, a simple silver bar with black rounded endings that can be screwed off for cleaning and changing out, but she’s considering to flaunt it less.
Her appearance may be attractive to some, not so much for others, but her personality’s a hard one to beat…

Personality:
-Hyper: Although she may look dark in her black clothing, makeup and nail polish, Leta’s actually pretty easy going and has a bit more energy than most would expect. She loves being in the outdoors, and is often seen taking pictures of birds, squirrels, whatever bit of nature she can find. She’s scared of spiders, but you’ll still see even they are in her personal photo album book. Her hyper nature is also a bit handy for upbeat songs to sing along with, such as some of the songs from the band Blood On The Dance Floor, more particularly ‘Death to your heart’, ‘Rise and shine’, and ‘Where’s my wonderland’, although she can be found singing ‘Bewitched’ and ‘Incomplete and all alone’. However, her hyperness also spreads onto more random songs, such as ‘Hollaback girl’, ‘Genie in a bottle’, Many of HollyWood Undead songs as well. Her music interest varies, and one can tell what mood she’s in by the songs she’s listening to, if she’s moving while singing, or staying silent. Either way, it’s hard to keep this hyper girl down.
-Understanding: From the many paths of life she’s walked in, she has gained a new understanding for others, and tends to have little problems with people until they give her reason to. This includes bashing others, harassing, and otherwise dragging someone down. Before she came to Metric, she had to bury her older brother after he, literally, drank himself to death. This has caused her to understand depression on a deeper level, and she tends to understand when people would expect her to blow up, such as when she’s dealing with other alcoholics. Instead, she tries to understand why they drink away, and has successfully helped her two best friends put down the bottle, and vows to help every struggling soul to put down the bottle.
-Quiet: Despite the fact she has a hyper, very sociable personality, she’s inwardly drawn at times as well. She tends to have thoughts racing through her head when she isn’t moving or listening to music. During the night time, one can find her sitting on a porch step or some other sort, just staring quietly at the sky and the nighttime surroundings. It’s here where she is most connected to people if they join her, it’s the one time where she’ll be one hundred percent honest, as she talks without thinking things through, but she’s often a little distant, silently sending thoughts up to her deceased brother.. As one can bet, she doesn’t really mention him until she feels it’ll do some good.
-Observant: Although not the most observant, she picks up on body language and emotions in the eyes of someone. She is usually one of the first to discover someone’s been abused, as she notices little things, such as a small bruise, wincing, hissing, and other small signs of a person being hurt. She is more observant to nature than people, however, and that has caused some of her photography to gain a whole new life. She manages to capture the many designs in nature, from flowers and sunsets/sunrises, to the pattern of a moth or butterfly wings, or even the small specks on a spider’s back (although she uses the zoom in option more often than not with spiders).

Enrolled into 1st-6th grades: Her brother is still leading down the wrong path, and she starts to follow him. By sixth grade, she was fighting, although the one time she got majorly suspended, it was to protect a little girl from two big boys teasing her.
Enrolled into 7-9th grade: Fights continue, but are lessened by number- but more severe in the injuries
Enrolled into 10th-12th grade: She lost her brother at age 16, shortly after she enrolled for her 10th year.
