Leaina’s upbringing was relatively unremarkable, her parents were caring and took good care of her, and while she was adopted, something she is aware of, as far as she is concerned, they are her parents, period. Her family didn’t have much, but due to the sacrifices made by her parents, Leaina had been given a better start in life than her parents had ever had; She hadn’t gotten full formal education, but through literature and some apprenticeships her parents had managed to provide to her, she had given a route to climb upwards in society, a route, that she refused.

Leaina did try to follow her parents wishes, she worked to fund further education for herself, but while she didn’t mind education, the rat race of society just didn’t fit her, it made her miserable; So after the death of her parents, caused by natural causes partly resulting from their hard life, Leaina walked off, quite literally.

This decision however was not a sudden one, in fact, she had planned it since she was old enough to understand the idea, every decision from her choices of study to the skills she had learned, was to prepare for it, for since the day her first memory was formed, she craved for freedom, for happiness; since the start, nature had called her.

Leaina had never felt like she was full part of society, she never really fit in, as due to her unique biology, she was always the one that stuck out, the weirdo. She had at first tried to hide it, she had figured that if she just managed to hide the horns and the extra pair of ears, everything would be fine, but it had not done anything, not only were her teeth still a giveaway of her differences, but there was also the fact that everyone knew her already, and her attempts to hide herself really only fueled the teasing and bullying she tried to hide from in the first place.

She had few friends here and there, but as time went on, those friends found their place in groups, while she was still the weirdo, so she sought purpose from elsewhere, the forest behind her home.

Leaina had always liked nature, animals, plants...the natural world fascinated her, and she spent lot of her time just wandering in a nearby forest, observing; and she took every opportunity to learn about nature and how to live in it. Thus, when it came to education and skills, that mindset was behind her choices in there too; she learned hunting, how to take care of injuries, how to work with wood, leather and so on, she learned animal behavior, how to shelter from storms...everything and anything that’d be useful in the untamed wild. This of course didn’t make her any less of a weirdo.

Another aspect causing her to be treated differently was her seemingly unpredictable mood swings, she could go from taking quite harsh treatment without much of a reaction, to getting violent over genuinely minor thing, it was something she herself could acknowledge too, but she had no real control over it, so she just tried to avoid situations where it usually showed itself. As she grew older, this unpredictability changed, it didn’t go away, but rather evolved, and in current day, she seems to be more in control of her emotions, but that doesn’t mean it’s all positive.

Leaina is generally a friendly and relaxed individual, she is happy, and it shows; she is also very caring, even overly so if she gets attached to something, however, if you get on her bad side, that’s where her unpredictability shows, as her reaction can be anything from just being a jerk towards someone, to straight up sadistic cruelty, and her reaction doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with how she was wronged; It doesn’t matter if you actively hurt her or accidentally step on her favorite flower, few mean words is equal in likelihood to finding yourself in a fate too cruel to describe.

Leaina is not alone, as she is always accompanied by two...creatures, Lefty and Righty, two creatures she considers family; She named them based on which side the single big eye is on, but she also often calls them ”The boys” or ”My boys” or something similar.

Lefty and Righty are male creatures with unknown origin and species, their general build and behavior is canid like, but their movements and leg anatomy is more feline, including retractable claws. The most prominent detail though, is their eyes, as they have six eyes total, one bigger, main eye, and five smaller ones, which they use for various purposes by opening them as needed.
Some of the uses for the smaller eyes are: Better depth perception, a level of night vision, a level of infrared vision.

While lacking the ability to produce speech, and often seeming like just weird animals, Lefty and Righty are highly intelligent and sapient, making them highly dangerous, as they combine the strengths of animalistic instinct and intelligent planning.

Leaina and the two first met when Lefty and Righty were small enough to fit her palm, she was still a kid back then, but after confirming that they didn’t have a mother taking care of them, Leaina took it upon herself to take care of them; her parents weren’t excited about the idea of her taking care what they thought were two wolf cubs, but relented after Leaina simply did it anyway.

It didn’t take too long for them to realize that the two creatures were not wolves, as they opened their eye soon after being found, but Leaina wasn’t too concerned about it, in fact, she was enthusiastic about it, as being the weird one herself, she related to the two weird creatures.

As they grew up together, a connection was formed between the three, and they spend more and more time together in the forest, and later in life Leaina realized that at some point them playing had turned to teaching, as she had realized that many of her skills in fighting and traversing the forest, she had learned from the two creatures. A more literal mental connection had also formed at some point, as the three are able to communicate with each other wordlessly almost as if reading each others thoughts, however, it is not actual reading of minds, but more a feeling of sorts.

A certain event really solidified the relationship between Leaina and her boys, it was during her teenage years, though that’s as specific as she ever gets, when she found herself in a physical confrontation, she ended up on the ground, wrapping herself with her wings to protect herself; this ultimately led to her wings being injured to the extend she could no longer fly, and it could have been worse, but Lefty and Righty had heard her cries, and had come all the way from the forest for her rescue. Furthermore, the two had been great mental help to Leaina in the aftermath, as she had come to terms with her new ground bound reality.

Now she lives with Lefty and Righty in the wild, she isn’t anti-social or feral, in fact, she quite enjoys interacting with others now and then, but she generally avoids getting involved with society as whole, partly because being ”a savage” causes...certain treatment towards her.
Her skills and knowledge allow her live entirely self-sufficiently, and she enjoys her life, though sometimes she helps others to track down something or someone for bit of money, which she then uses for things that she cannot get her hands on easily in the wild, be it specific material that is inconvenient to get otherwise, or something that’s for sake of enjoyment alone.
