She is also thin of frame, but appears hardy and strong. She has dark brown hair and chocolate colored eyes that have a haunting glow of mischief. Her complexion is also dark as she is of Spanish descent through her father's family (a traditional Christian family that fled Spain to England a long time ago). She has broad hips and an ample bosom that gives her a still desirable figure even though she is getting on in her years (a fact that scares her). She dresses simply and knows how to read and write (but often chooses not to).History: Born almost thirty years ago as the second child to a religious family, Leah Candace Emmanuel was a healthy, strong, girl that took the sparkle away from her elder sister, Rachel. Her childhood was calm, and when she was three years old, the last child of the Emmanuel family was born; a boy named Raphael was welcomed. Nothing large or scandalous happened until the summer after she turned eleven. A mysterious man came to the slightly impoverished family creating excuses to have Leah attend school. Life in London was hard and Leah had calloused hands and had already started to mature in facial features. Nevertheless, with the aid of a benefactor in hand, Leah was whisked off to buy supplies and attend Hogwarts.Attending Hogwarts was a no-brainer. She was a fast learner, and she earned her stripes of loyalty in Hufflepuff. With an affinity for Charms, Leah found her way heading towards a particularly easy job of a cleaning lady after school, having found no other jobs that would easily welcome a woman, despite her slightly above average marks. From then until 1872, Leah worked as a maid, cleaning and doing basic house chores which usually just meant cleaning. But, in 1872, Leah met a rather attractive man named Xerxes who seemed interested in her, and Leah flirted with a smile. Her dark hair, caramel skin, and bright eyes seemed to lure him in. Of course, her charms only insinuated their affections, and soon the two were married and Leah Emmanuel became Leah Quigg on March 21st, 1873.The following years produced a happy marriage and several children. Leah turned out to be quite fertile and delivered healthy children each time. In 1874, the Quiggs welcomed their first son, Castiel. In 1876, Leah gave birth to a daughter, Sariel. In 1877 with an uprising in finding out about magical folk, the Quigg family turns to hiding and lays low, deciding not to relocate to Hogsmeade. The following year, Leah gives birth to another son, named Remiel (fondly called Remy). Everything seems to be going well for Leah, who had long since abandoned her occupation in favor of raising their children and doing matronly duties. In 1879, another daughter is brought into the family, this one name Muriel. In 1881, the last Quigg child is welcomed into the world, a girl named Leliel. And finally, in 1882, Xerxes Quigg manages to find the large family a home in a small mostly Muggle settlement called Irvingly in which Leah, finally deciding to do something productive instead of constantly working in the house, bearing children, and raising said children, finds a job at a small cafÚ as a maid/general handy-witch.Personality: warm, generous, kind, resilient, motherly, polite, traditional, passiveSample Roleplay Post: [At least a paragraph.]Out of CharacterName: PuppetAge: 18Contact: AskOther Characters: CMLHow did you hear about us?: Been here.
