Hannah takes the form that has been pushed in front of her, scanning over the information she has to fill in. She swallows nervously, licking her lips before she speaks. "I-I want to be a boy." The words she's wanted to say for so long finally spill forth from her tongue, and it's as if a great weight has been lifted from her chest. "I want to be a boy," she says again, this time with more conviction as she begins to fill out the paperwork.

Name? That's easy. She'd always loved the name Leonard, like the little boy who lived down the street she desired to emulate. Age? She doesn't want to be too young, to the point where she loses some of her independence, but she still wants to be able to enjoy her boyhood as well. She decides twelve is as good an age as any to start. The other things were more difficult. She still wanted to be herself, so she didn't input anything besides "typical boy" in the personality department. But the looks...

She could look however she wanted. Blonde hair? She's always wanted to have golden, shimmering locks. But something drew her to write "light brown" in the box instead. Blue eyes. That was a given. She'd always loved the way blue eyes could mimic the sea and be a gateway to an ocean of emotion. She draws a picture of what she wants to look like, spending great time on the details. She'd always been an artist, if not professionally then in spirit. With a smile, she hands the clipboard and pen back to the lady across the counter.

"I still want to be myself, just please, make me a boy."
