Wand:

Koa, 12 1/2", No core. Instead, a mixture of Blue Tiger Eye and Hematite are inlaid into the spiral handle.

Physical Description:

Leah is on the skinny side, weighing approximately 127 pounds, and stands at roughly 5 foot 7 inches, a bit tall for her age. She has wide brown eyes so dark that they are nearly black which peer curiously from behind the fringe of equally dark hair that frames a slender, heart-shaped face. Leah adores wearing combinations of black, white, and red almost as much as she loves jewelry in the shape of stars, crescent moons, and hearts.

Personality:

Leah is an outgoing and intelligent girl, who's sharp, witty retorts leave her friends breathless with laughter, for she delivers them without blinking, an innocent smile pulling at her lips. At home, she is often found in the library, curled up in a chair reading a book on one thing or another, and she absolutely loves to learn new things. When it comes to school work, Leah spends a good portion of her time studying, but she also knows how to relax and have a good time.

Family:

Father - Tobias Galvin (43)
Mother - Natalie Galvin (45)
Sister - Brianne Galvin (21)
Brother - Sebastian Galvin (9)

History:

Born on March 4, 1993, Leah was always a happy baby who rarely ever cried. Growing up, she began learning to read (mostly picture books) when she was barely a year old, and her parents encouraged her avid fascination with literature. Even during the war, Tobias and Natalie made sure that Leah always had a private tutor to keep the young girl too busy to worry about the war that was raging out in the rest of the world.
When she was five, her little brother Sebastian was born. Leah and her older sister Brianne spoiled him rotten, from the moment he was born, and the two girls were often seen carrying the baby boy around the house singing or making up stories to amuse him. Due to the war, Brianne was unable to attend Hogwarts, but her parents began teaching her the magic they knew, which was actually quite a lot. Leah was absolutely fascinated by the whole thing, and was usually around when her mother or father were giving Brianne a lesson. She also 'helped' her older sister, and when Tobias and Natalie couldn't find their younger daughter, they knew Leah was in the library poring over the same textbooks as Brianne.
After much begging, Leah began to receive lessons, though there was no magic being done by or with her. Regardless, the eight year old eagerly set to the work that was given to her. Then, when she turned fourteen, Leah received a letter from Hogwarts. With the war over, her parents were more than happy to take her shopping for her school supplies and then send her off to start a new chapter in her life.
