Leeda "Essie" Madorna

=• Early Childhood •= Born in Januray of 1982 to parents Henry and Olivia in Syracuse, New York, Leeda grew up in an upper middle class neighborhood. An only child, Leeda excelled in social areas, making friends quickly and forming tight bonds with them calling them brothers and sisters. She grew up around her extended family, often times being found roaming the Village of East Syracuse with her cousins and friends.

Her father was a Marine Corps sniper and Leeda was drawn to the Bravo 51 at an early age, accompanying her father to the gun range on the Hancock Military Base and learning to shoot. By the age of six she was considered to be an expert marksman and her father enrolled her to compete in local and state Fire Arms tournaments. At the age of ten her attentions to guns drew her into small fire arms but she found her love of guns to be divided between her sniper rifle and the twin 50. Caliber Desert Eagles her godfather had given to her.

Her mother’s work was involved in securities for the American Government which was involved mainly in the financial sector. Leeda would spend time staring over her Mother’s shoulder and asking questions about her work which in turn gave her the information she needed to learn different programming languages later in life.

=• Oddity Arises •= Leeda was involved in a car accident at the age of seventeen which caused a bit of trouble for her. During the after math of the accident, Leeda awoke in a vehicle, suspended upside down, in a state of alarm and panic. Her cousin Aislin had been driving and was no longer in the vehicle which caused her more panic and concern.

After freeing herself from her seatbelt, she struggled her way out of the mangled vehicle and was shocked by the site of it. The passenger side of the car where she had been sitting was in perfect condition, glowing faintly and swarming with bees. As ambulance crews and policemen arrived at the scene they found her fifty yards away holding her cousin who had been thrown at impact from the vehicle. EMTs were confused as to what was happening as they could reach neither girl due to a barrier around them. This event sparked a rash of questions to which Leeda did her best to answer but could not explain anything.

Her father was transferred to the Brunswick Naval Air Station located in Maine a few months later. The sudden change of base alerted Leeda and she found that her presence in the medical center was requested all too often. At the age of 18 her wariness of the situation was rationalized when she was asked to help a small boy who had been severely injured after a bicycle incident. She did as asked but after graduation she made sure to leave the area.

She attended NYCU in the fall of 2000 where she studied computers, languages, psychology, but never earned a degree in anything. During her sophomore year she took a job at a local night club as a bar tender and quickly rose to a managerial position, forgetting about school, and falling in love with the enthusiastic atmosphere of her work.

She then joined the USARMY and was quickly stationed in Fort Drum, Watertown, New York with United States Army Intelligence and Security Command with the 902D, a Military Intelligence Group conducts counterintelligence activities to protect the U.S. Army, selected Department of Defense forces and agencies, classified information and technologies by detecting, identifying, neutralizing and exploiting foreign intelligence services and transnational terrorist threats. While still active with the ARMY, she is also a CIA Operative and very much active, lending her influence to the factions and passing warning along to other foreign intelligence groups when it may seem civilian lives could be at stake, negotiating in order to keep things within the Secret World, secret. =• Present Day•=

Leeda is not affiliated with any faction and is considered a neutral ambassador to all factions including and not limited to the Orochi Group, The COV, and many other world organizations. Though she remains an active CIA agent, her life is centered around helping those within the factions gain access to a neutral party for therapeutic reasons. Her services as a liaison are reflected in her ability to help those with legal matters necessary to their assimilation, helping to obtain passports and visa's and other legal documentation as well.

She is also an active personnel within the US ARMY INSCOM (United States Army Intelligence and Security Command) with the 902D stationed in Fort Drum, Watertown, New York. The 902d Military Intelligence Group conducts counterintelligence activities to protect the U.S. Army, selected Department of Defense forces and agencies, classified information and technologies by detecting, identifying, neutralizing and exploiting foreign intelligence services and transnational terrorist threats.

George has been with her since she was 8 years old and is what some describe as sentient anima though what he is remains a mystery even to her. One of Gaia's "entities" that has been wandering the earth for eons. It took pity on her as a child, in sick bed at a children's hospital in upstate New York and has been with her ever since. George will often times be seen roaming about, either tethered to her or simply separated. Leeda is not one of the "stung" she is a normal human being, though George will lash out at anyone that threatens her as he sees her as his own child and will go to lengths in order to protect her. George doesn't agree with violent means and so leaves whomever he lashes out at in hysterical fits of laughter for periods of time that can range in length from 10 minutes to 24 hours depending on the severity of what he deems a fitting punishment. Without George, Leeda is vulnerable to a cardiac disease that can kill her in as little as three days.

=• OOC Knowledge•=

Common knowledge is that she is not affiliated with the factions and is a single entity. It is also known that she serves as an ambassador to all groups working along side foreign agencies and governments, also with the UN and can provide documentation such as visa's passports, etc...

There is a light pale green glow to her when George is about and hiding within her though since a recent issue, he tends to temper the glow to hide his presence.

Every now and then, if George is not present, you will see him burst into her and then run away to go back to catching mice or generally sniffing about and exploring the area immediatley around her. He can be seen by anyone within a block of her location.

Anyone who takes a picture of her while George is within her, will question whether she exists as George cause an effect similar to electromagnetic distortion with cameras of any type, making one believe she were a ghost and not a real person on film.
