Character Bios: Leanne

Hey there!! Welcome to a new series I hope to keep up on here. As you might have guessed I mainly use this blog to brainstorm ideas which later become fully fledged stories (or get consigned to the scrap heap depending).

I thought a good place to start my mind ticking might be to do some character bios as if spoken by the characters themselves. After all, well rounded characters make for interesting tales.

Therefore, and without further ado - meet Leanne.

I'm what you might call a control freak really. Or at least so people tell me. I don't really think so but there you are. After all, what exactly is freaky about wanting to know what's going on and who's doing what at any given time? Hmm? Nothing freaky there I'd say.

But hey, I'm used to people not seeing things the way that I do. That has pretty much been the case my whole life I guess. I was always the one at school who tried to do things right. Who tried to perfect at things. Who really wanted to do the best she could.

Other kids called me a swot, a teacher's pet, a creep. All sorts of names really. But I didn't mind - not really. I knew I was doing the right things and for the right reasons. Not just doing what everyone else was or doing what others wanted from me. If that made me a creep then so be it.

I guess people don't really expect me to be so forthright or so unrelenting. They expect me to give in to doing things their way I would guess. But that's just not me. It's not me at all. And if people don't like that they can simply lump it!

I have never given in to any kind of peer pressure and I'm definitely not about to start now. No matter how many feather I ruffle in the meantime.
