LIKES:
Draw, panting, sculpting etc: Leyshell’s life was always face paced and art was something she picked up as a hobby while traveling with her family. She found it was easier to remember things in the constant movement of her life if she documented them and art happened to be the way she choose.
Reading: Leyshell is very studious person, often using books to distract herself or even reach her goals. She does, however, except that books aren't always the answer.
Music: She particularly likes rock music, as it is a great way to let out excess emotion and also paint to. Her love of music inspired her to learn the guitar
DISLIKES:
Know it alls: She doesn't like people telling her when she's right or wrong because in her eyes everyone else is wrong, even when they're right. People who deem themselves fit to correct her are put into this category and are instantly on Leyshell’s bad side.
Her Mom: She always secretly resented her Mom, and also viewed her as weak not even caring if it was true. Her mom was always trying to make her delicate and submissive but Leyshell wanted power and control.
Big crowds: Leyshell tends to stay away from large crowds because she hates the noise, the pushy people, and the ones who think they can just walk up and talk to her anyway they'd like.
BIGGEST FEAR:
Leyshell’s biggest fear is going through all the trouble manipulating, crushing, and recruiting people only to find out that her mom was right about her place in society. She fears that all she’ll ever be is her mother’s daughter and that’s something she’ll never admit to.
PERSONALITY:
Manipulative: Leyshell uses her innocent looks and perceived harmlessness to not only slip under the radar, but to get people to do things or give her things on the basis that she's harmless and nothing bad will come of it.
Closed off: While Leyshell is a flirt and does have “friends” she doesn’t really open herself up to anyone unless she knows she can absolutely trust them.
Calculating: Leyshell is always working on her fifth move while other's on their first always assessing the situation she's in and how long it will take her to succeed.
Logical: Leyshell is very bright and always learning, and when put in a difficult situation she'll always be logical calm one and make sure everything gets done.
Charismatic: Leyshell is very good at hiding her true personality and does this by being charming, she draws people to her not only with her looks but with her words. This stems from her manipulative nature and knowing that flattery is often the key to manipulation.
Leyshell is an only child from a very wealthy nomadic pureblood family From West Berkshire England. Her Father were always too busy to bother with so he left her upbringing to her mother. Leyshell and her mother never saw eye to eye so she became independent and disregarded her mother‘s teachings. She’s street-smart, cold, cruel, and calculating but she always has on that innocent mask she wears. Having traveled to different parts of the world she speaks French, Spanish along with English. Leyshell is a very selfish person considering she’s never had to share with anybody, if she sees something she wants she’ll use everything she has to get even if it means going against her morals.
Having fended for herself majority of her childhood she doesn’t like relying on people to get things done. She believes that if you want to change the world you’ll have to go out and change it yourself. Once when she was little heard her parents arguing over something and in order to make her mom drop the subject her father bought himself out of trouble. She could see she hurt in her mom’s eyes but still she agreed to it. That night her father taught her that the Man with the most money held the power Ever since than Leyshell has been somewhat cold towards people who flaunt their wealth especially males.
Leyshell is extremely charismatic mostly because she’s been manipulating people for so long. She’s always secretly hoping a fight will break out or a debate or something where she can crush her opponent. Her mother is still very traditional having already thwarted several betrothal attempts with the help of her father and some very convincing tears. Leyshell is at ends with parents…even more so than usual. She feels as if she should be trying to get to the top of ladder by any means necessary not worrying about marriage.
She hasn’t found anyone that matches her drive for power or someone that can hold her attention for more than a few moments; maybe if she does she’d be more inclined to date.
She doesn’t care for blood purity or anything that sets aside one group from another besides power.

MOTHER:
Eliza Conner (Williams) a pureblood witch brought up on the idea that women should be delicate, silent and dedicated to her husband. She never goes against anything he husband says and respects his nomadic nature considering she lives a very comfortable life style. She taught Leyshell how to be a respectable pureblood aristocrat however she isn’t to pleased with the actual outcome.
FATHER:
Rylyn Conner a pureblood wizard from a very wealthy nomadic family specializing in all tricks of the trade the Conner family has their fingers in a lot of honey pots. This is mostly due to the fact that most of the Conner men are travelers who never want to stay in one place. Rylyn was raised on the belief that Men were more superior to women but never really gave stock into it. He didn’t particularly care what Leyshell did with herself as long as she wasn’t bringing down the Conner name he left her upbringing to her mother.
SIBLINGS:
none
HISTORY:
Leyshell Nicole Conner was born on February 14th to Rylyn and Eliza Conner. Being the only child she was spoiled but also held to high expectation at least from her mother. From the time she was old enough to walk and talk her mom began teaching Leyshell the way a proper lady should act, talk, and present herself. Much to her mom’s dismay the teaching went over her head as she wanted to be more like her dad. She was found listening to her dad talk about his day or the business deals he landed or anything Leyshell deemed important which for a child is basically everything.
All her life Leyshell never stayed in one place for too long until she Started Hogwarts. She was use to traveling to different parts of the world like India, France, Germany, and of course all parts of England. During the hustle and bustle of traveling with her parents she often felt unsteady so she decided to document her travels mostly with paintings or drawings of the places she’s been. She wasn’t particularly thrilled at the aspect of going away to school and pitched a fit when she found out they were sending her away. It didn’t occur to her until the start of her first year came that she would be able to start her path to success now.
Her father had returned to their family manor so Leyshell could meet some of his business partner’s children so she would have some friends when school started. Upon meeting them she found they were all boys sadly and Leyshell refuse to even acknowledge them. She soon found however that she could get them to do what she wanted if she threatened to cry or she acted shy enough. This lead to her realizing that everything she needed she could get with manipulation…and of course blackmail. Even though she got to know them she never really considered them friends and went her own separate way when school started.
On the train she found a compartment and kept to herself mostly sketching and refusing to answer anyone who asked her questions. In her mind she had decided not to talk to people until she needed them in some way that way she wouldn’t have the roots to keep her there. When she reached the castle however any thoughts of convincing her parents to UN-enroll her went out the window. The castle was beautiful and as she entered she found the inside was just as magnificent as the outside if not more. When the hat told her what house she belonged in she was ecstatic so many important families had children in Slytherin it was the perfect place for her to make connections-or so her father said.
Her first two years at Hogwarts were definitely the hardest for Leyshell seeing as she had to adapt to not moving around so much. She never had any restrictions on where she was allowed to go or when she had to be in bed just as long as she didn’t make to much fuss. She also wasn’t use to sharing so sleeping in a dorm room with other people was something she loathed. She was quick to make friends however especially with people who were either Slytherin tolerant or in her house.
Her third year was when things started getting easier; she satisfied her need for adventure and traveling during the summer months and focused on her ambitions during school. It helped that she was finally coming into her looks and could easily use them to get what she wanted. She focused on her manipulation skills more in her third year than anything else…well besides her school work. She didn’t care what she got as long as she got working her way up from little things like candy and small favors to things they had to ask their parents to get.
Her fourth year was a quiet one as she was somewhat cross with her parents and didn’t feel like socializing. Over the summer her mother decided that it was a suitable time for her to begin looking for potential husbands as her mothers parents did for her. She couldn’t look at boys without wanting to hex them so she kept her interaction with them minimal only talking to one if she absolutely needed something she couldn’t get herself. She did however focus more on her artwork and music preferring their guitar and sketchbook to anyone’s company.
