Username:Phantom-ess
Character: Lelia Ambre
Age:20
Gender:Female
Occupation: Dancer/Seamstress
Appearance: Lelia hovers just south of 5'8 and has blonde hair that hits around shoulder length. Her eyes are green but can look almost hazel at times. She is plain, but not unpleasantly so, with a clear complexion and lightly tanned skin. She likes to keep herself looking clean; you won't see her for long if she's having a bad hair day. Her celebrity look a like is Kaley Cuoco.

Personality:Lelia is a controlled outgoing but sometimes she gets herself into trouble for running her mouth and saying what's on her mind. She excels at verbal sparring but if it gets into anything physical she'll pretty much lose. She is modest and believes in the sacrament of marriage along with the idea that the union between a man and a woman should not be anytime before marriage which other dancers sometimes tease her for but, at least in her mind, they respect her for her strength in character.

She is a bit of a romantic and believes firmly that her soul mate is out there somewhere and that she just hasn't found him yet and also in love at first sight. She has had previous relationships and has a mixture of explosive breakups and "fizzles out quietly" breakups in her past. Currently, the Lelia described doesn't exist, she's more anxious and if she's working on a show currently her mood is not a sure thing.

History: Lelia was born to a French father and an Italian mother, who had met when her father did some renovations in La Scala. At the time, her mother was a seamstress there and worked in the part of the building being renovated. Lelia is the oldest of 3: she has a younger sister, Adele, and a younger brother named Pablo. They moved to Paris because of Lelia's father's job.

Her mother taught her how to sew since Lelia insisted she wanted to be a part of the performances in some way. Eventually, her parents split up because her father preferred Italy but her mother didn't want to leave France would not uproot his job in France to move there. Lelia stayed with her mother and her father and the other two siblings went to Italy.

Eventually, Lelia got a job at the Opera Populaire as a seamstress and Lelia struck a deal with the Opera managers so that she can dance in performances but she'll also sew all of the costumes needed and would be paid as a dancer. She burns the candle at both ends so she can have her dream of being onstage.

So far Lelia's met very few people at and around the Opera. Her first encounter was with Rose Dubois who, it seemed, was as talkative as she was and Lelia felt as though she'd met a kindred spirit.

As she was practicing on the Opera stage she briefly spoke to Maureen Dawson, cutting it off quickly when she realized that Maureen wasn't interested in chatting.

As she began to branch out from the Opera she met Cat Tanner, Raven Corbett/Alexander Tyrrell, and Bethany Swan.

Cat Tanner? Lelia doesn't know exactly what she feels about him. His troubled past trumps her own, which came out during her conversation with him. But somehow she managed to look past that and doesn't seem to want to end their meeting at La Louvre.

Raven Corbett? Not a meeting that Lelia's particularly fond of remembering. Especially since her temper flared through. She tried to apologize but even with his hand-kiss isn't sure if it was too little to late. Lelia is definitely apprehensive about the interview he wants to do. What could he want from a dancing seamstress? Only time will tell.

Bethany Swan? Lelia is hoping that she's found her first really good friend who she can talk/gossip with. The meeting ended a little abruptly, but Lelia's sure she'll talk with Bethany again, just as she met and helped Bethany off the Opera Stage when Bethany overdid her dance practice.

Lelia's now come into contact with Vivien Lacroix, a fellow ghost hunter who was at her table at the Masquerade and Beatrice/Lillith Eytinge-Lelia's not sure if she has made the correct assumption since they were using aliases, but given her history with Cat she seems to be the logical choice. Lillith has no idea who she is though...Lelia's hoping to meet her again.

At the Halloween ball, Gloria Calabrese has found Lelia in a not-so-good mood and was on the receiving end of Lelia's anger...will it come to fists?
