Liam Leithwaite
They Named Me:
Liam Taylor Leithwaite
And Smile When I Tell Them It's:
Lestat (After the Vampire)
They're Shocked When I Say I'm:
11 years old. (12/8)
Even Though I'm A:
Boy
But They Still Tell Me I'm:
Normal
They Usually Describe Me As:
A charismatic, eager-to-please kind of guy.
Most of his traits, Liam gets from his sister. Although technically he should, like her, be bipolar, the male side of the family seems to have escaped this. Like Laura, he has his mood swings, but they aren't even close to hers, and so he's pretty normal in that department.
His own personality is easily described; he's an achiever. Unlike Lyrica, he aims high and does beyond his best to achieve it, especially in music. He loves making those around him happy, though, and mostly takes time out from his 'projects' to try and cheer them up. It's easier to do with his parents; with Lyrica, he understands that sometimes it's easier to leave her with her thoughts than cheer her up. And why is he so close to Laura? The boys at school sometimes tease him about hanging around with a girl, who is also his sister. But the two have always held affection for each other, simply because they almost never get under each other's skins.
Liam's loyalty is usually pretty unquestioning; he'll do what he wants, but only if those he loves or trusts approve. At school, he's the only boy who took both an instrument, and a sport. So now he plays soccer with his friends, and loves every second o it, as well as being able to play the piano pieces for his sister and parents that they love.
As has been said, he loves to make people happy. But if you have hurt him, or those close to him, Liam will not be afraid to get even with you in any way he can, whether physically or mentally. Mostly, he just likes to win at whatever he does, so usually this results in a kick-off on the field; one on one shoot-outs.
So, positives about his personality:
Loyalty, high-achiever, takes pleasure in making people happy.
Negatives:
Quickness to anger, easy to lose his trust, sometimes spiteful.
Things he likes:
Making people happy, playing the piano, his sister, soccer, achieving his goals.
And what he doesn't:
Dishonesty, idiots, sour fruit, failure.
. I Was Born With A Smile And...:
Liam is a black haired, grey-green eyed boy. His hair is relatively short-cropped; close to the skull as he dares for maximum style and minimum of his mother fussing over it. He embraces the darker-than-pink of his skin-tone, and is a pretty even-toned colour; pale olive. His nose is small, rounded, and sits just below the middle of his face. All in all, he's the kind of boy that older girls just love to fawn over, although he hasn't got enough baby fat for that anymore; too tall and too lean.
Liam's clothes are usually a dark-coloured t-shirt with one of his favourite bands on it, thick cargo pants, and thick-soled black leather shoes.
They're In My Past:
He was born on the twelfth of August, and given the name 'Liam Talyor Leithwaite'. Luckily, it was his father's turn to name the child, but even so he wasn't spared the alliteration his sister shares.
From a young age, Liam was always a trifle charismatic. He was one of those children in kindergarten who develop a genuine love of friends, but without the attention-seeking, 'I need to be the best!' complex that some have at that age. He always understood that human nature was something that should be nurtured, learned from his mother.
As he grew up, naturally his kindergarten friends developed into school friends at Blue Raven, and he took great pleasure in keeping them close, reminiscing about old times and creating new ones. Liam has definitely had his fair share of inside jokes, and the repertoire is only growing.
Through the early days of primary school, Maia insisted on his high grades, and Liam insisted on playing sport, so it was possible for them to compromise when Liam took his soccer practice to Saturday; even then, he was encouraged to be independent, and to be able to make his own decisions.
Homework usually got done as fast as he could do it, but now the higher levels of school are slowing him down; English and other subjects like that are his failing points. Liam prefers what you can touch, see, or hear... Words, on the other hand. You can see them, but you can also hear them, and if you put them together right, they can be tricky, that much he knows. Recently, he's been moved down a reading level below average, and his mother is trying to get him back up to his usual high standard...
In fact, his mother's interest in his started sooner than Laura believes; Liam remembers her taking a more avid interest in his test scores and sports around the age of six, when he began to get better than average marks. She began to take him to out of school workshops, and soon had him working well above the local average; even now, she pushes him as much as she can. Much as he loves his mother, Liam can't fully understand her need for him to succeed. He was doing perfectly fine originally, so not continue at that level?
But he enjoys the praise she gives him with a good report, and despite being confused, he's decided that, although it's confusing, he's going to leave her perspective alone, for now. For now.
