Leighton Francis Downey Jr

"Everything that’s broken was beautiful at one time..." —Jamie Hoang

BASICS

NAME: Leighton Francis Downey Jr

AGE: 37 years old

BIRTHDATE: July 4th (astrological sign is Cancer)

PRONOUNS: She/Her

SEXUALITY: Homosexual

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single

OCCUPATION: Tattoo Artist and Illustrator, making Graphic Novels when she is not Tattooing for any reason

NEIGHBORHOOD: Westhook

MEMBER GROUP: Gifted

POWERS:

• Clairvoyance - Though she comes from a long line of completely normal ordinary people, Leighton has always been a little strange, a little psychic, and was labelled Clairvoyant as a young child. She seems to just be hyper aware of things, and not just things that are happening in the same room as her, but also things occurring in other buildings or other towns. Though she's had this ability all of her life, she really cannot control it, it does not shut off. Instead she is constantly distracted by thoughts and memories that are not her own, she regularly gets distracted by visions of seeing things from someone else's perspective, and she is a master at locating or identifying people of interest, even if she has never seen or met them before. She can simply tap into a mental network that then connects her to other people. The ability is strongest when she knows the person and she can, and does, keep an eye on her friends and loved ones more so than anyone else. But she can locate strangers, she can see what they are doing, she can hear them talking and she can watch them act, and she uses these visions, these... daydreams so to speak, as inspiration for her artwork. It also makes it very difficult to lie to her. She cannot read minds or anything, but she can see through others' eyes and can tell if someone was doing what they claimed they were doing, or if they are lying about their previous actions.
• Precognition - Going hand in hand with her clairvoyance, Leighton has some level of precognition that allows her to see, interpret and sometimes even predict the future. It usually comes to her when she is sleeping, a dream or nightmare of sorts that flashes briefly before she wakes up. But it can also come to her when she is conscious. Like her other powers, she really has no control over this, it hits her randomly based on what she is doing at the time and is super distracting. So to some degree, she does not know that she has the ability to see into the future, instead she just thinks of them as bad dreams and her tendency to space out and daydream. She does not realize that sometimes, these visions are true and many of them have not happened yet. Instead, she just sees them as more ideas for her artwork, writing about people that she believes are characters but are later revealed to be real people who she can see with her Clairvoyance and then write about using her Precognition to tell their story in the comic books that she makes on the side. This can lead to very awkward situations where someone sees themselves in her Graphic Novels, but so far no one has noticed this yet, not even Leighton herself.

THE LOOKS

HEIGHT: 6 ft 1 in (the 1 inch is very important to her)

WEIGHT: 191 lbs

HAIR COLOR: Dirty Blonde

EYE COLOR: Honey Brown, almost light enough to be gold or amber colored

FACE CLAIM: Mackenzie Davis as Grace Harper in Terminator: Dark Fate

OVERALL APPEARANCE: Being as tall as she is, Leighton has a tendency to stick out in crowds. She towers over most men, with almost all women needing to look up at her, but, though she occasionally gets shit on for this, truthfully she is happy about her height and is always insisting that she is 6 ft 1 in, when really she is like... 6 ft ¾ in. Fitting her vertical stature, she is lean with long limbs and a thin torso, but she is not thin enough to be considered a “fence post”. Instead, she distracts herself from life by working out, so though she is pretty slender, there is plenty of solid musculature there, making her very cat-like in her movements. She is swift and she is strong at the same time, she is not someone that you want to get into a fight with, she's more than buff enough to hand out beat downs even to men, she's stronger than most of the people that she encounters on the regular. But it's a completely normal, mortal amount of strength. Obviously, gifted people with physical powers can toss her like a ragdoll but normal humans don't stand a chance.

Her skin is light, not pale but still very much Caucasian, and she has short straight blonde hair that never seems to lie flat. It tends to be kind of disheveled, looking like she just rolled out of bed pretty much all of the time. As long as it stays out of her face, she is content to do pretty much nothing with it, so it's not her most attractive feature. She has some freckles on her face and shoulders but they are light enough that most people do not notice them unless they are in close proximity. Similarly, she has short but numerous horizontal scars on her arms and wrists especially, varying in age from being so old that it's almost completely faded to some of them having fresh scabs. She does not like to talk about them, or any of her other scars, most of which are not noteworthy in her mind. Most of them come from the terrible abuse she suffered as a child so she prefers to ignore them than to process the pain she must've been in.

However, her most noteworthy feature is the massive amounts of tattoos that she has on her skin. Being a tattoo artist, Leighton obviously is obsessed with them, both receiving and creating them for others. So, what most people notice on approach is her beautiful black-and-gray realism tattoos, especially her left arm sleeve, which is darker and more bold than most of the others. Her right arm sleeve is done in the same style but has less shading and more careful linework. She's a little religious so she bares a cross on her back, and a creature- something like a wendigo with the skull of a wolf- stares out from across her chest. All of her tattoos are big and bold and are connected to one another through either blackout panels at the top of her back, chest and up all sides of her neck, or using Celtic-inspired tribals that flow in and out of each tattoo. Though all of her work is extensive and beautiful, she is hardly done getting tattoos, she still needs a couple for her legs and abdomen, but so far those areas are clear.

Because she was named after her father and has always kind of idolized him, Leighton has a very masculine style of clothing. You'll never see her in a dress or covered with make-up or even bothering to shave. Instead, her usual attire is lazy and disheveled looking, but also very intricate and punk rock-ish in style. She wears a lot of dumb t-shirts and tanktops with stupid sayings on them, which is then layered under a flannel unless it is hot out, then the flannel is tied around her waist instead. Her pants are usually jeans of some kind, often times cargo pants as she likes the pockets. But her pants are always kind of gaudy, with rips and tears and dangling chains and zippers that lead nowhere and such, and they are mostly solid black in color with usually red accents, though some of her pants have yellow/gold things on them. But she does mostly have a theme of red, black and white. Red is her favorite color so she uses it a lot in her outfits. However, her pants generally do not reflect this and are black more often than not, though red or sometimes camouflage patterns and plaid designs pop up on the odd occasion. Her sneakers are also red, black and white, and she never ties them for some reason. There's some chance that she does not know how to tie her shoelaces.

She has a really long flat silver chain that she wears around her neck, but to keep it from hanging to her knees, she wraps it around twice. So it looks like she is wearing two chains when it's really just one doubled up. She also has a chain on her pants, it attaches to her wallet to keep it from being stolen, as well as several zippers and silver accents to tie everything together, including a silver watch with a red face on her right wrist (she is left-handed) and a set of small silver rings in her ears. Her left ear has two rings, but her right ear has only one. She also likes to wear baseball caps, though she turns them backward or sideways when working so that the rim does not bother the tattoo process.

She basically dresses like a fuck boy- a little bit punk and a little bit hip hop really, with a lazy baggy disheveled kind of overall feel. And rightfully so. She is too lazy to put too much time into her clothes, so having items that match pretty much everything in her wardrobe is paramount to her physical appearance as she can lazily pick whatever she wants and it still turns out to be a somewhat decent outfit.

BACKGROUND

HOMETOWN: Newark, New Jersey

FAMILY:

• Leighton Francis Downey Sr - Father, 52, Dentist - The better of the two parents, Leighton is and has always been a huge daddy's girl. She loves her father very much and was mostly raised by him and her grandfather, which is probably why she expresses herself in such a masculine way. Her father is a generous, intelligent, patient introvert who loves to learn and keeps an open mind about most things. However, he did fail his daughter in her childhood, where he would often favor her older brother- teaching him how to fix cars and plumbing and all kinds of things, but he would never teach it to Leighton. He always had an air of judgment of her, saying hurtful things to her on accident, only to apologize later with money or her favorite food from her favorite restaurant. But that is all that he knows when it comes to love, his love language is to provide, to give his daughter everything she could ever want as long as he could afford it. So he does often give her money, and she often asks him for it. He rightfully complains about it, he really wants his daughter out of his house, but in the end, he does love her to death. She is the spitting image of his mother and therefore loves his baby girl to death, he just does not know how to show it properly.
• Rebecca May Benson-Downey - Mother, 50, Gynecologist and Obstetrician - Though she talks to her mother on the regular, Leighton's mother was always the... “lesser” parent. She worked her ass off to become a well known, well educated, very experienced gynecologist, and it sort of took over her life at some point. She worked constantly, staying out at the office well into the night, sometimes into the next morning doing paperwork or what have you. She did not spend much time with her daughter at first, simply too busy working to pick her up from school or to attend school functions or anything like that. But as the family started to make good money, she was able to chill and relax and not work so hard. Unfortunately, this did not really happen until Leighton was well into her 20's. Before that, her mother was distant, only speaking to Leighton to criticize her. Leighton thinks her mother hates her because of her involvement with her brother's death, and sometimes it is easy to believe that, her mother absolutely seethes when it is brought up, yelling and pacing and pointing the finger at her remaining child. But, though she has a short temper and a tendency to ignore or at the very least neglect any relevant information proving her wrong, no matter what you say, she is absolutely always right and she will absolutely fight you about it. She is a small woman, only 5 ft 3 in, but she is full of vinegar when push comes to shove, so it's better to be on her good side. Leighton is not on her mother's good side, they fight like wild animals and it sucks. She refuses to believe that Leighton was abused by her grandfather. When he went to court after being caught, Leighton was up on the stand, testifying, but her parents were in the audience, not with her to support her, just watching. That really sums up Leighton's relationship with her parents- unloved and unimportant, a disappointment, just... broken down. And she continues to be broken down every day, as she lives in her parents' large home out in Westhook. Her mother is always taking shots at her and it takes everything in Leighton to not fire back sometimes.
• Isaac Marcus Downey Jr - Older Brother, Deceased, Disabled - Not many people know this, but Leighton once had an older brother. He was notably older, about six years her senior, but when she was a small child and her parents were too busy with work and things to take care of her, Mark always stepped up. He acted like he loved her, always playing with her, never afraid to sit down and brush the hair of a Barbie doll with her or whatever she was doing, even with people around to judge him for it. Leighton was always his priority, and any time he caught someone giving her grief, his retaliation was unreal. He was protective, he was loyal, he was all things good in this world and Leighton really respected and loved her brother to death. Unfortunately, he died about eight years ago. Both he and Leighton were born with abnormal brain patterns that turned into epilepsy relatively suddenly, with Mark getting the worst of it. He had seizures often, and every time he had one, another part of his brain would be killed in the process. They tried to save him with surgery but alas, after a really bad fall down the stairs, he ended up with blood on the brain and was pronounced brain dead after only a few weeks in the ICU. Their mother had the choice to keep him on life support or pull the plug, but after a decade or so of fighting for him, she eventually gave up. She pulled the plug on him while Leighton was away at school, she did not even get a chance to say goodbye or to even go to his funeral. As you can imagine, she was (and still is) pissed about this. Her brother was the only person who understood her, who seemed to care. He watched movies just because she liked it, he played games just because she liked it, he read books just because she liked to, he just made an effort to connect with her personally, so finding out in a text message that he was dead absolutely destroyed her. This is part of the reason that she and her mother fight so much. Leighton is furious that her mother killed her brother completely on impulse without telling her, while Leighton's mother blames her for her brother's fall and ultimately his death. They kind of hate each other in this regard, they both loved Mark incredibly, he was a cool dude. But time heals all wounds... doesn't it?

PETS:

• Lilith and Crowley - A pair of extraordinary dogs, Lilith and Crowley are littermates, a pair of wolfdog siblings. They are considered extraordinary because they are not just half wolf but half Labrador retriever. Their fur is gray and grizzled like a wolf, with red brown highlights on their faces, ears and legs, and some cream under markings at least on Lilith, Crowley is generally observed to be the darker of the two in terms of color. They are also both absolutely gigantic animals, reflecting their wolf blood in their size and body construction. Crowley is the larger of the two and weighs almost 120 lbs, while his sister Lilith is more slender and weighs a little over 90 lbs. But they are both about 32 inches tall at the shoulder, only a few inches shorter than your average great dane, they are big dogs. Crowley tends to be everyone's favorite because he is super chill and relaxed, he likes to chew on things and tears up his toys so regularly that Leighton has to buy him new ones pretty much every week, nothing can stand up to his boredom chewing. So instead, Leighton keeps him occupied with trick training and plenty of exercise, running for several miles every morning to get all of that energy out. Lilith is the opposite of her brother and can be very feisty and exuberant so she loves the morning runs. Both dogs tend to go with Leighton to the tattoo shop, where her extensive training with them shows immensely as the dogs are perfectly well behaved. Lilith is more puppy-like and friendly than her brother, often sitting next to clients and licking them while they go through their tattoo ordeal, or bringing them toys if they are waiting. She loves to play tug especially and will hand her rope toy to anyone who will grab the other end. She also really likes treats, but so does her brother, he'd sell government secrets for peanut butter, making them both easy to train and socialize. Neither dog is aggressive, even though Crowley does like to bark whenever someone new comes into the shop, but once Leighton gives him the command 'It's okay', he always calms down and casually greets people, the bark is less aggressive and more just an alert type thing that someone new is in the shop.
