Brent Academy - Leah Pyke

Applying to with my fabulous partner (she's so much more talented than me!!!) ... keep re-uploading in a desperate attempt to correct her horrid anatomy XD

Full name: Leah Pyke
Nickname: Barbs (She only lets Gabriel call her that)… other than that, feel free to give her some stupid nickname XD
Position: Maid
Master: Gabriel Chance-DeLuka ([link])
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Birthday: December 26th

Likes:
+Cats, Rabbits, Sheep, and Cows (basically all animals, but those are her favorites)
+Gabriel (in a weird messed up sort of way)
+Her job
+Guns (she’s so weird, I swear //slapped)
+Books (because they don’t make her feel awkward XD)
+Perfection

Dislikes:
-Sweet, spicy, and bitter food (basically anything with flavor, oh you boring child you XD)
-Confusing situations (so for her, being forced to be social)
-Dressing up (she doesn’t like having to wear things like dresses or worry about putting her hair up in some fancy way, because it restricts her freedom and movement… this of course doesn’t stop Gabriel from making her wear stuff like that anyway and she does, cuz it’s her job XD)
-Mice, Rats, or any other rodent
-Receiving anything / being saved etc (basically she doesn’t like feeling indebted to someone – again this doesn’t stop Gabriel from giving her things and what not just to make her feel awkward XD)
-Swimming
-Disorganization / chaos

Personality:
-Dead pan: She speaks in a monotone and is very level headed about everything. She thinks of everything she sees logically and isn’t really capable of understanding and expressing her own emotions. She takes everything how she sees or hears it word for word (so basically sarcasm and teasing is completely lost on her, she’ll take what you say as what you mean). She doesn’t really understand humor either and just kind of takes things as they are.
-Dedicated / Serious: She takes her job very seriously and always thinks of her interactions with Gabriel as part of her business (either to protect him to pay back her debt, or as part of her duties as a maid). She will scold Gabriel if she thinks what he’s doing would be bad for his father’s business, and she will fight for him, even if he totally deserves to be beat up simply because she takes her duties very seriously.
-Book smart: She’s intelligent, so long as it’s something she’s able to study and memorize. She’s not street smart at all and even things like her ability to fight is mostly based on having studied the human body and where it is weakest.
-Oblivious: (cough socially inept //slapped) She doesn’t understand a lot of social subtleties and mannerisms and she takes everything as is (so again, things like sarcasm are lost on her). She doesn’t really understand things that aren’t based on facts and study-able material, so she just kind of ignores them and leaves them be (ie a lot of Gabriel’s behavior, especially towards her, makes no sense to her, so she just kind of lets him do whatever.
-Perfectionist: She likes it when things are calm, together, and in order, since chaos makes her nervous and uncomfortable she strives to make everything perfect. She wants things to make sense and can't stand it when things aren't organized or fully prepared and laid out (she plans her self defense strategies, hers and Gabriel's schedules etc). She's getting better at accepting chaos because of Gabriel's nature (she has to let him take charge, after all he is the boss) but she still doesn't like it... and it makes her terribly uncomfortable


Family Background / History:

Coming from a rather humble and average family her one connection to anybody was her father’s incredibly close friendship with a Mr. Chance-DeLuka (as the two had known eachother since childhood, before Chance-DeLuka’s success). Their close relationship had led to her be raised near the young Mr. Chance-DeLuka, Gabriel. Her pseudo father paid for her to go to school with Gabriel and despite her own humble family situation she was treated well.
Leah was born a little strange, to say the least. Her apparently indifferent attitude would often get her into trouble with people more powerful than she was and her strange way of talking would get her a lot of bad attention. She was frequently bullied and often got into a bit of trouble. While they were young Gabriel would often come to her rescue, though he would always lord this always her head and hold it against her.
Once, while they were still quite little, she was in some serious trouble with a fairly violent little kid. Once again Gabriel came to her rescue when the other child threw glass at her and it shattered. She was spared any serious injury when Gabriel interfered with the throw and got hit himself, giving him a large scar. Despite all the former savings, this is the one she felt terribly indebted for. Gabriel never let her forget that he had saved her from something so serious, and he constantly shows her the scar to remind her of what he did.
This guilt and debt led to her convincing both her and Gabriel’s father to let her go away and train so that she could protect him in the future. Gabriel’s father paid to send her to a training facility for several years and the two of them grew up away from each other for about 7 years. At the facility she was trained in various forms of martial arts and weaponry.
Around her 16th birthday, she received a message from Gabriel’s father asking her to quickly return and escort Gabriel to Brent Academy, and feeling as heavily indebted to their family as she does, she immediately hopped on a plane and returned, ready to defend and assist Gabriel to the best of her ability. Her debt led her to agree to being his maid, and her oblivious (cough naïve //slapped) nature allows her to put up with his jerkish nature without complaint.

Crush: None, atm

Additional Info:
- She isn’t particularly strong, due to her small physique but she is very fast and she studied pressure points intensely while she was away. She’s very good at quickly and efficiently disabling whoever she may be fighting, though if she can’t get them down fast she has trouble getting them down at all (because, again, she isn’t particularly strong).
-She really enjoys using guns, and she’s been practicing heavily with her aim, though this practice was interrupted when she was called back home.
-She calls Gabriel “Sir” and she thinks it’s an affectionate nickname or a term of endearment (rather than him being her boss)
-She is the world’s WORST cook… like her cooking is lethal… so whenever Gabriel is getting too out of line and she has to real him in she always threatens him with her cooking (seriously it’s that bad XD)
-She doesn’t like water or swimming. She knows how to do it, and she’s actually decent at it (thankfully because Gabriel of course makes her swim, in disgustingly revealing swimsuits) but she doesn’t really care for it. She thinks the water is gross and dirty.
-She often has to come to Gabriel's rescue when the girl's he's hurt get really mad and try to get back at him. She, however, has zero comprehension of why exactly they're upset
