Personality: Evelyn Wensley, better known as Leja or Soap, has several layers of personality. A bit like a cake, in fact, so she might as well be explained that way.
We'll start with the frosting. This is what all people should first see, and it's what the majority of folk keep their impression of Leja as throughout their entire relationship. She is extremely social and outgoing, with such an extrovertive personality that it's hard to doubt her confidence. When making decisions, she is very determined and rather loud, leaving little room for argument when she has picked her path. Most people are not intimated by Leja, although she has an uncanny way of seeing through lies and understanding people purely from body language.
Next would be the batter, where somebody could first be told her nickname: Soap. At this point, anybody here would have interacted with her enough to understand some key flaws. For example, Leja is severely ditzy and clumsy despite her love of dancing and impossible coordination when it comes to footwork and other physical activities. Her hand-eye coordination is quite good, but her ability to trip while walking across a smooth and flat surface is also quite good. And despite her bubbly and "extra" nature, she is indeed very observant; how else would she be able to understand physiology well enough to link it to the subconscious mind? This nature of hers, which allows Leja to pick up on facts about a person based on physical evidence presented to her, also affects her own personality. She can be extremely judgmental based on her findings, even if she attempts to hide any conclusions. Furthermore, although she makes decisions rapidly and without regret, she also can become extremely uncertain. It is easy for her to change her opinions about something, although Leja wouldn't exactly take back her previous words or actions so much as declare the new ones superior.
And then, there's the inner filling. It can be jam, jelly, more frosting, whatever you like; either way, it represents the part of her personality that almost nobody has ever seen. In fact, the only person who might understand this part of Leja would be her closest companions, a paramour she is infatuated with, or her family. Underneath the batter and frosting, Leja is very attuned to what everyone else wants, and she attempts to fulfill other peoples' desires. She has a rather instinctive desire to do this and will often act in a jokingly self-deprecating matter to accomodate other people. Her confidence also is not as strong as a lot of people are led to believe, and she would only reveal her insecure nature to someone she feels is 100% reliable. Although she is definitely social, her people-skills could also be translated into manipulation, a skill which is unveiled as the truth at this point of reaching the filling.
Then at the core are some of her most important truths. First, she is a very intelligent human being. The fact that Leja is observant never changes, but rather than brushing off things and using them to be playful, it is here that she becomes very calculating beyond mischieveity. It also encompasses her battle natures, which are securely entwined. Within combat, she is very much one to goof around and play with her opponents if it is at all possible; however, this all goes according to her desires at the time. If she is bored, Leja has no problem attempting to finish a fight right away and she lacks true mercy or kindness. As a leader, she is absolutely focused on victory and understands the meaning of sacrifice; at the same time, she constantly keeps in mind how their losses are affecting the remaining troops and their morale. As a follower, Leja is light and tries to keep up everybody's spirits while attempting to gently influence decisions in a way she believes are favorable to victory conditions. Except, without playing as direct a role. She has no qualms about acting the comedian to keep peoples' hopes up, as it is basically her everyday life.
Her signature and basically the topper on the cake, is giving an enormous thumbs up or flashing a peace sign with her arm at a 90 degree angle, held as far as possible away from her body and facing towards whoever she directs it to.
Likes:
ω Victory. With victory comes prizes, the satisfaction of being proven superior, bragging rights, and a whole bunch of other amazing and wonderful things. Leja honestly enjoys winning the laurel in everything.
ω Dancing. Leja loves to move and dance. She runs almost everywhere she goes and normally dislikes wasting time (although in the same moment, she has bouts of "I need my alone time" where she sections herself off from anyone else).
ω Dogs. They are loyal, steady, and love to have fun; what's not to like? Unless you're evil and want to make all living creatures (including animals) suffer, of course.
Dislikes:
ω Singing. Perhaps it is just because she is absolutely miserable at it (really, it's because of a childhood event), but Leja can't stand singing of any kind regardless of whether it would be ordinarily considered harmonious or musical.
ω Spicy Food. It makes her tongue burn and then she can't speak and then somebody has to call the fire department and then... well, she just stays away from that type of cuisine to avoid complications.
ω Being One-Upped. Basically, just as much as she enjoys winning she detests losing. Being defeated equals... well, loss or a drop of something. She will give ground but only victory if it is absolutely necessary. And by absolutely I mean... absolutely.
Motivations:
ω Sweet Foods. Chocolate, cake, pastries, cookies, even fruit... Leja adores anything sugary and sweet. However, the one exception to this is hard candy (which is ehh, but not an immense love of hers).
ω Pleasure. This means fun and exciting adventure, folks! Leja wants to get a life out of life and will chase after her desires to the fullest of her abilities.
ω Strawberries. This one is different enough to warrant its own category aside from sweet foods. Basically, Leja is trying to collect as many different species and breeds of strawberries as she can. It's a bit of a side hobby, but it's related to her past. She's been told that there are over 100 but has only discovered a few so far.
Fears:
ω Evil. Although petty crime doesn't bother her, Leja is desperately afraid of pure and unadulterated evil. Y'know, like those basic carnal sins. She hates the idea that
ω Losing. This goes beyond her dislike of being one-upped; she is deathly scared of losing parts of herself or key possessions or even close people. This also includes her fear of rejection which stems from her basic and most shallow trait of wanting to always be accepted and to fit in.
ω Hospitals. Blame that bad childhood memory for this one. Leja has an intense fear of medical centers, most clinics, and really anything white and superclean and if she is forcibly hospitalized she will get herself out of there ASAP.
