Basics
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
Name || Leighton Azarola. No middle name – just Leighton Azarola.
Nicknames/Aliases || She prefers Leighton. She will answer to ma’am or sir as well. While she is presenting as more androgynous or masculine, she will go by Lee. She doesn’t respond to nicknames, thanks.
Age/Year/School || She is a freshman at Salem College. She is 26; a bit older than most of the freshman, but that doesn’t bother her. Her birthday is December 23rd
Zodiac || Capricorn
Academic Year || Freshman
Major/GPA || Business major. She plans to own her own business, someday. This is step number one.
Gender || Female. She wouldn’t say she’s particularly unopposed to presenting as masculine though, and occasionally she will ‘cross dress’ as a male figure for business reasons or vice versa. Leighton does not like to be defined as one thing and prefers being flexible. She would probably consider herself more gender-fluid than female, but would not say she feels she experiences a severe gender dysphoria.
Sexuality || Yes please
. Just kidding (or is she). She would probably be pan, if anything. After what happened with Liam, she generally leans more towards women. Health Issues? || She is self-destructive, in terms of her social life. However she does keep herself physically healthy, because she has goals, and they don’t include dying prematurely.
School/Social Life
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
Job || She works two jobs: one as a waitress at Rosebud Steakhouse and one as a saleswoman for AVON makeup products. She mainly focuses on the first, as AVON selling is something she can do on her own schedule. She enjoys the two jobs immensely and actually loves to be a waitress! Plus, making good tips does not hurt anyone!
Reputation || Leighton hasn’t been around very much and most of her reputation is outside of school. She is fairly social.
Relationship Status || Single; as if she’s had time for any kind of relationship after the shit that went down with Theo.
Clubs and Organizations || None
Relationships Bank ||
Mia Anderson – Her ex best friend. Leighton cared immensely about Mia, maybe more than she ever let on. Mia and she got into quite the fight after she cheated on Theo. Leighton knows that her infidelity really shook Mia’s opinion of her, and that hurts quite a lot though she doesn’t want to let that on. Leighton has considered trying to reach out to her on Facebook now that the business with Liam is behind her, but she doesn’t want to drag Mia into her hectic life right now. She still thinks of her often.
Theodore Zest – Her ex-boyfriend. She confessed to cheating on him and then they broke up. She has not seen him in years (since graduating High School) and has no knowledge of him attending the same college as her. She knows he was going to go into law or medical school – one of those – and is certain that their lives have taken completely different paths from one another. Honestly, she hopes to never meet him again, for she fears if she did it would involve landing her behind bars.
Liam Gosling – Liam was the one who made Leighton question her every day, mundane good girl life. He’s the bad boy who she felt inclined to bed, even if it meant cheating on Theo. Leighton no longer talks to him, the spark between them has faded. She doesn’t know where he is at all.

As far as she’s concerned, when she does own a business, she’ll make her own fashion rules and people can deal with it either way. She likes high waisted things, and short shorts

History
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
Family ||
Jesus Azarola – Father – 46 – || To Leighton, her daddy is her everything. He may be addicted to gambling and losing all of his money, but Leighton has sworn to protect him no matter what. When he lost everything, Leighton was the one to pick the pieces of their family back up and put everything together. She reminds many people of Jesus when he was her age – before he got into gambling.
Leanne Azarola – Baby sister – 22 || While she’s the baby sister, Leanne is 22 now and lives with her boyfriend a few cities away. She still communicates with Leighton but unfortunately wants nothing to do with their father. Honestly, Leighton is glad she is no longer chained to their crazy family and that she is realitively happy with her life at the moment. She will talk to Leanne on the phone often.
Hometown || Arlington, TX. Currently, she dorms. She doesn’t actually have a place to live outside the dorms. For the summer, she’s planning to crash somewhere or get a cheap apartment or something. But for now, she’s fine dorming.
Vehicle/Transportation || Leighton does not have a car, so she usually walks places or bums rides off of people.
Backstory || Leighton was enrolled in girl scouts from a young age, and was taught to always look out for others. Especially, above all else, family. Leighton always had a fierce and unwavering loyalty, and hated to lie or be doubted. She was naively honest, did her best in school, and had several friends. While she was always friendly she found more of a companionship with the nerdy fellows at her school. She had a best friend, Mia, and they did everything together. Leighton rarely wanted for anything due to their father’s wealth, which Leighton neither questioned nor showed off. However he got the money didn’t matter – he was always spending time with his two girls and being the best father the world could imagine.
In High School, Leighton found she and Mia had a lot of struggles ahead. Mostly with boys. They quickly scoped out the most attractive and fantasized about them, about dating them and going to their senior prom. One of the best, most attractive guys was a boy named Theodore Zest – a shoo-in to be a successful, rich doctor. He was Leighton’s first crush. Lo and behold, Mia got into a relationship with a guy in the same social class as Theodore. Because of that Theodore and Leighton wound up speaking to each other more and becoming friends. The two friend groups liked the idea of them and by the beginning of junior year, Leighton had her first boyfriend in Theo, and she couldn’t have been happier.
At home things seemed at ease, though Leighton noticed her father becoming more distant and withdrawn. She talked to Mia about her concern for her father, and Mia suggested they spy on him a little. Leighton wasn’t entirely convinced that was what she wanted to do. But she couldn’t help but be curious! Reluctantly, Leighton agreed.
They were on their way to follow him when they bumped into Liam Gosling. He was tall, and went to their school. He was one of the bad boys and immediately, Leighton and Mia were intimidated. He and Leighton immediately had a chemistry when they bickered back and forth, and Leighton made moves to protect Mia from the guy’s attitude and jabs. The girls finally parted ways from him, but unfortunately, Leighton’s father was out of sight. She pouted at that, but the girls forgot about it quickly. Back at home, Jesus was the same as he’d been before. This reassured Leighton that things were fine.
Unfortunately, in school, they weren’t, exactly. To Leighton’s absolute horror, she wound up paired together for a project with Liam. She was hesitant about it at first, but valued her grades. She totally complained about it to Theo, and about how completely unfair it was that she had to work with this guy who didn’t want to do anything!
He didn’t like to do his work, so that meant Leighton had to do it for the most part. Leighton found it more annoying than anything. The project took months to complete, and once, she went to Liam’s house to work on the project. The house was a mess, his parents rarely around. It worried Leighton to be alone with him, but at the same time, she felt... intrigued. He offered her drugs ad a half-joke most of the time, and she always denied it. But there was a part of her that always... considered. She never told Mia or Theo about it and continued to act like the perfect, good girl she’d always been at school.
She made excuses to come over to Liam’s place. She knew it was wrong. She had her first drink with him, which turned into vodka, which turned into being drunk – which turned into sex. She hadn’t wanted to cheat – she’d always known she found Liam attractive, but when she woke up hungover beside him in bed she was mortified. She’d lost her virginity to this guy! Seriously?!
She made up an excuse to Theo: that she’d been over at Mia’s. She knew Mia would cover for her. She ran away from the house, got herself tested for everything under the sun, and ignored Liam’s calls and texts. Finally, one day he showed up at her house. Leighton tried to slam the door in his face, but he persisted. They argued and eventually, she grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in for another kiss.
While she liked Theo, there was something dangerously attractive about Liam. Theo was too much of a... by the book, good guy. While at this point Leighton was still a good girl, she was interested in something else. Something dangerous. And this was the beginning of her experimentation. She also couldn’t lie: there was something invigorating bout hiding their sex from everyone and from deceiving Theo. She hated herself for thinking it, but it was kind of... hot.
Leighton was 17 when her father finally lost everything. He had gone to Las Vegas and blown away all of their savings, claiming that he could win enough to put both his baby girls through school if he could just win at something. He even acquired a massive amount of debt, after he borrowed money from a twisted group of marketers who always collected their debts, somehow. A different loan shark was with them every day, knocking on their door, asking for money.
As a result of being stalked by the loan sharks, Leighton drifted from Theo and Mia, never hanging out or going on dates. What little time was not spent with her father was spent with Liam. She to go put herself to work – she needed to help pay off her father’s debts. Somehow. They’d already had to sell almost all of their things. Leighton was able to get a job as a waitress a town away, lying about her age, earning tips to help pay off her father’s debts.
Leighton began to skip school in favor of better hours at work. She grew crueler to Theo and pushed Mia away completely. By Christmas time, she stopped coming to classes entirely. A week before the winter formal, Leighton confronted Theo and confessed to cheating and that she didn’t want to keep dating him. She didn’t take no for an answer, and just walked away from him. At the winter formal, Leighton danced with Liam, basically confirming the rumor that he was the guy she was seeing. It was cruel, but Leighton wanted to hammer into Theo’s head that she was serious and didn’t want him anymore.
Their father still wanted to gamble. Leighton had to create a bank account separate, so she could keep her money in an account and give her father only a bit of money he could risk. Every time he came back from a failed gambling trip he tried to tell his daughters that he was doing this for them. Lean-ann had much less sympathy for him than Leighton did, and when she graduated school herself, she moved away. Their father got himself in too much debt and, in an effort to repay them, attempted to rob a bank. He soon found himself facing jail time, the heist a complete flop. Leighton wished he’d gone to her for advice, because he’d done a real shit job at breaking into a fucking bank. After her father went to jail, she kept a serving job as well as finished up her GED online. She decided she wanted to build something. An empire. A business. She just wasn’t entirely sure what – but she knew getting a GED was the first step towards being taken seriously.
When Jesus was relocated to the prison in Salem, California, Leighton moved there to be closer to him. In Salem, she found a new job as a waitress at Rosebud Steakhouse in the uptown plaza. She makes pretty good money there but not enough – so she has a second job as a saleswoman for AVON makeup products. She gets a commission of the sale every time she finds someone to buy makeup from – so she’s always asking people if they’re interested! She decided to enroll at Salem College to gain herself some business contacts for the future. She really wishes she could go into Metric, but she’ll have to settle for making connections in other ways.

), shoot me a DM on discord or PM me to let me know. Could make for good drama. I am willing to change her name if someone has any other ideas otherwise basically anything is open (she has to have at least had one ex-boyfriend, the mutual friend of Zest’s old social group in school). If no one volunteers to make her immediately or claims Ashley Tisdale I may make a wanted ad. Or not. LOL. Who knows.______________________________________________________________
