Music teacher at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Leiya is what some might call happy-go-lucky. She has a very bubbly attitude, and a positive outlook on life in general. She is sensitive, but she tries to choose to laugh, rather than take offense. Teasing people good-naturedly is simply what she does. There is one thing, however, that she is very insecure about: her "unique" powers, and the dangers they pose.
Wand: 11 1/2", mahogany, unicorn hair.
Leiya was born into a muggle family three years after her older sister, Nikki. She was raised in the States for seven years before her family moved to London. There, on her sister's eleventh birthday, came a letter from one Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. At long last, the girls' uniqueness seemed to be explained. However, the summer after Nikki's first year, she came back with startling news. The girls were not even ordinary witches. They were both telekinetics, and their eyes stood testiment to it.
Leiya went to school a few years later. She found her telekinesis getting less and less controllable as she exercised her "normal" magical abilities, but it was nothing the teachers couldn't handle.
In third year, she started dating Remus Lupin, and the relationship continued on for the next four years. She became an animagus cat for him; she adored him. However, just before graduation, she almost killed him.
Something had angered her, and her powers had broken loose and gone wild. He had tried to calm her down, but it only resulted in a free ticket to the hospital wing. After that, Leiya decided it was too dangerous; she broke off the relationship and shattered both of their hearts.
Now, twenty years later, after going back to the States to teach in a primary school for a while, she has returned to Hogwarts in a hopefully better light than when she had left, as the new professor of the equally new musical elective program installed in the cirriculum.
