HISTORY:
Leila is a muggle-born, meaning that she never knew about the magic side of her father's family. Her father may have been a muggle, but he had known about his siblings' statuses as wizards and witches because of the letter that had arrived for them from Hogwarts. This also made him a squib, although her father never felt bothered by it. Of course, her father hadn't told her about it since it would definitely be a hard thing to believe. Leila was always a big science-geek, meaning that she always thought that something happened because of something else happening. Everything had a scientific cause, and so the thought of magic would most likely be preposterous to her. Unfortunately for her father, Leila had inherited his curiosity and intelligence, being able to know when someone was hiding something. Her father would never talk about his side of the family and never had any pictures of them around; this was the first thing that Leila noticed. It sparked her curiosity as to why her father would actually hide his family, and so she decided to do a bit of digging before approaching him directly. Leila would look through her father's things whenever she got the chance, trying to find the numbers of his family's telephones and such. When she finally managed to call one of her father's sisters, she realized that there was more to the eye than it seemed.

She found out about her father's magical family and decided to approach him at last. She looked him in the eye and asked why he had kept his magical family a secret. Her father replied rather simply; he answered her question with a frown, saying that he was afraid Leila would not believe him. Leila just shook her head at this and told him that this would have opened up new possibilities for her. If magic was real, then she could try and research it to see if there was some sort of scientific explanation. She always kept her eyes open in case a letter from Hogwarts arrived. And come it did. It arrived only a few days after her 11th birthday, making her pack as soon as possible and send an owl back urgently saying that she would definitely attend. When Leila first arrived at Hogwarts, she had a difficult time fitting in because many of the other students would not speak to her since she kept trying to find out the scientific explanation of magic. Leila would always question the teacher and ask, if the professor was demonstrating a spell, how the spell was possible and what the logic was behind it. This usually caused her to get detentions since the professors took her questions the wrong way. They had thought she was being 'fresh' with them.

Of course, the detentions always gave Leila time to get to know her professors as well as learn a bit more about magic and how it was not a science. This helped Leila as she began to slowly understand that there was nothing scientific about magic. Throughout the years that Leila went to Hogwarts, she learned much about magic and her opinion eventually began to change. Magic was a delicate and difficult art that would most likely never be explained completely. As a result, she decided that instead of becoming a researcher, she would become a professor at Hogwarts. Because Leila was always interested in predicting the future and since she was very good with numbers, she though it might have been a good idea to apply for the job as the professor of arithmancy.

HEY MY NAME IS MITHRA, AND I ALSO PLAY RUBY SPECTRA ARAGON I FOUND THE SITE THROUGH ANOTHER HARRY POTTER RP SITE.

hi there Mithra. Well, while that is a good base you have up there, there are a few issues which I hope that you can help me fixing before I accept her.

1. OCCUPATION - I am sorry to tell you this dear, but the Defense Against the Dark Art position is already taken by another professor. You might want to look through the job list again and see if there's another opening which you can put Layla into.

2. HER NAME - Well, is she a Japanese? I do aware that pure Japanese doesn't have the habit to use middle name, or else you might need to fill in her first middle and last name on both the top of the application (under the image) and on her displayed name, all in capital letters. We prefer to keep things uniform here.

3. FACE CLAIM - I love your face claim, however she is a bit too old to play a character who is 23 years old. We have a restriction of face claims age, my personal guideline is the FC could be 10 - 12 years older than the character's age. You may change your face claim so that she can play a 23-year-old professor, or you may change the character's age to no younger than 29 years old.

4. BLOOD STATUS - While I saw that she is a muggle-born, there you mentioned that her father's side of the family is magical, so does that makes her father a squib?

5. HISTORY - It is very well-done above, however it felt like concentrating on her childhood and stopped there after she gotten into Hogwarts, it would be great if you can add a paragraph or two more telling about her school life and adult life.


Once you're done, give this a bump and we will look through her again.

I think that should be it. ^ ^ Arithmancy is going to be difficult for me, but I think I'll be able to do it.

hi again Mithra. I think you've missed out the part about her name, you can either choose a pure Japanese name for her, or go with the normal first middle last name. She would be good to go once you've edited.
