alright here we go. leiloni was born and raised in helena, montana. she was born into a proud italian family along with five other siblings. she had a normal, happy childhood with some of the best parents imaginable. when leiloni was seven years old she started taking ballet lessons. this quickly became a passion of hers and a few short years later she was positive about what she wanted to do with her life. her parents believed in her the most and instead of starting a college fund for leiloni like they did for the rest of their children, they started a julliard fund. <p>

leiloni moved to bailey with her family when she was fourteen. she made friends quite easily with her confidence and charm and continued to practice ballet. she enjoyed high school; a lot of people knew who she was because she was a big part of the community. she was a cheerleader, member of the soccer team, yearbook, drama, car washes aka fundraisers etc. she also took on a part time job to help her parents out with julliard. <p>

when she was seventeen it finally happened. leiloni had graduated and her family had saved up enough money for her to be able to get into julliard as well as set up and emergency bank account for her to fall back on. leiloni still stuck around for a while just to save up some cash of her own; but when she was nineteen she headed to new york. <p>

leiloni ultimately graduated from julliard with excellence, but her biggest secret was that if it wasn't for someone she knew back then - she would have been expelled a year before graduation. he took the blame for some drugs that were found in her schoolbag, said he owned them and dealt with the consequences. he was truly in love with her, and unfortunately she used that against him. she wasn't about to get expelled and let all her family's hard work go to waste. <p>

when leiloni first arrived in new york she already had a very strong understanding of herself as a dancer. she wasn't considered a beginner over there and felt like she was on top of the world. the school brought leiloni's knowledge of the field of ballet to a more profound understanding about it. unfortunately the people she met around campus weren't as kind as most of the people back in montana. she agreed to go to a few parties and eventually some of the guys over there convinced her to light up some pot. that's as far as it ever went and at the time leiloni didn't think it was such a big deal. however, she soon found out how stupid it was to bring your drugs to your expensive, high class school. <p>

leiloni quickly dropped her bad habits after she graduated and decided to stay in new york a while longer and see if she could get anywhere in the big apple. she was getting dangerously low on money and in an attempt to cut back on expenses leiloni moved into a much cheaper apartment and sold clothes, jewellery and some furniture on craig's list. it had been six months and leiloni had yet to have a single person take a look at her. she soon realized it was time to head back to montana.<p>

being from a small town leiloni was still very naive about the dangers of being alone in a big city. so she didn't think anything about leaving her window open that night. hours after she went to sleep four men broke in to her quiet apartment and brutally raped and beat leiloni and basically left her for dead. thankfully she managed to call 911 on time. the police were able to identify two of the men but leiloni asked that her identity be kept secret and out of the press. the story did run in papers but leiloni's name was nowhere to be found.<p>

while she was in new york her family had moved back to helena to be with the rest of the family. leiloni stayed to visit for a while before announcing she would return to bailey. she never told her family about the break in. she was far too fragile and fresh from the incident. there was so much shame built up inside her and she just wanted to wallow alone in the darkness. <p>

so now at twenty five and almost two years after the break in leiloni lives in her old family home in bailey, monatana. she's basically the same; or at least she acts the same. she's always been gifted at keeping what she's feeling buried deep inside. she's still as charming and loveable as ever but she's definitely far from the same. she hasn't given up on a dancing career and is currently working as a life guard down at the pool and a bartender down at the pub, but she definitely needs to get herself back on track emotionally before she can even consider putting herself out there for auditions and for the world to see.<p>

leiloni's not a bad person by any standards really. she's very friendly and outgoing by nature. i'd imagine she'd have bucket loads of new/old <b>friends.</b> she's a people person and will have a conversation with anyone. she doesn't judge a book by it's cover and would be a great person to confide to since she wouldn't tell what you told her to anyone if her life depended on it. she's loyal to friends and if you're a best friend she'll consider you family and can have a tendency to get fiercely protective over you. she's a great friend to have and is willing to give anybody a chance. <p>

i could imagine lei having some <b>enemies.</b> although, it's hard not to take a liking to her she's not always so adorable and sweet. even though it's rare she's not afraid to whip out her bitchy side. it takes some people aback since it's quite out of character for her. not a lot of people have seen this side and if you have you're bound to have done some serious shit. i guess you could have just messed with someone she cares about, that would do it too. <p>

really the only <b>relationships</b> lei has had would have been in high school. she loves men and she loves flirting with men. she understands that not all men are pigs but she's never been in a real relationship. it's always just been a few dates or a few hook ups. that's as far as any man has ever been to her heart. she's not afraid of commitment and would like to settle down eventually, she just hasn't felt a connection with anyone. every guy she's been with so far just hasn't done it for her. the conversations her awkward, the sex was awkward, the silence was almost unbearable, but she still has her fingers crossed and is hoping to find that special someone who will take away the emptiness she feels at the moment and help her move on :)
