Personality: Bright and bubbly, Lo is a girl far more interested in having fun with her friends that hitting the books. She likes animals and excels at Charms but is distinctly average at most other lessons. She's a killer cook and she loves very quickly and easily. She's almost painfully honest, but surprisingly good at keeping secrets. She'd die for her friends, but despite this can come off as quite flippant and careless. She's hopelessly disorganised but working on it, and a genuinely good person right the way through to her core. She couldn't start an argument if her life depended on it, and far more often plays peacemaker in tricky situations.
Likes: Her friends, Hogwarts, Muggle bands, animals, Charms, cooking, her family.
Dislikes: Arguments, Astronomy, the dark.
Strengths: Diplomatic, charming, fun-loving, easy to be around.
Weaknesses/Flaws/Vices: Weak-willed, flirtatious, disorganised, has a weakness for chocolate-covered-coffee-beans and would sell her soul for them.

Background: When Leonora was born to parents who already had three boys, it was natural that she became the baby of the family. Called "Lo" by Tom, her youngest brother, the nickname has stuck her entire life and it's what everybody - friends, family, just-mets - calls her. Her father trains racehorses, and Lo grew up around the animals. She's utterly fearless when it comes to animals, willing to try anything with them. When it comes to people, however, she's less trusting. She's bubbly and a real chatterer, and can get along with anybody. She doesn't like standing up to people, however, and her quiet strength is quite often overlooked in favour of her preference for diplomacy rather than warfare.
She's teased and coddled by her brothers in equal measure, and her mother has made sure to rear her to be indepent in an ever-changing world. Her middle brother, Richard, is the only other one in the family who has magic, and he graduated from Hogwarts last year. Lo secretly enjoys the lack of supervision, which enables her to get up to much more without her brother's watchful and protective eye on her. Lo is a girl on a mission to enjoy herself, and her family has learnt in the past that she won't let anything stop her.
