Personality
Leolaine is quick-witted, understanding, intuitive, overtly friendly, fiercely loyal, easily excitable, impatient, talkative, and she especially loves to fly on her older cousins' brooms, though her father expressly forbids it due to her being so small for her age. Slight of frame, though agile and determined, Leolaine tends to stubbornly overestimate her abilities and often lands herself in the school infirmary having stretched her emotional or physical abilities a bit too far. With any luck, she hopes to grow taller and stronger (both physically and magically) while at Hogwarts and grow up to be an Auror someday.

Background
Leolaine is the eldest of three in the Swiftkneazle household and thus, the first of her siblings to be invited to attend Hogwarts. Her father, Leonidas, is a tall, broad-shouldered, kindly Pureblood wizard who is the last and only remaining Pureblood son to carry on the Swiftkneazle name. Her mother, Lynh-My is a thin, prim, and exceptionally small Muggle woman, much to the mostly silent chagrin of some of the elder Swiftkneazles.

Her mother still doesn't seem to be taking kindly to the whole magic thing, but her father just kind of crossed his fingers when they married that his wife would still love him and their children enough to look past and hopefully come to also love their being magical. Being a Muggle, she was still coming to terms with sending her firstborn (and eventually, probably her two younger siblings) to a magical boarding school that: 1) she'd never heard of--she's a Muggle... and her father hadn't really ever expanded much on the whole being magical and whatnot until Leolaine showed some magical ability; 2) was so far away from our home in Southern California; and 3) emphasized just how much she wouldn't able to understand and empathize with a whole 7 years (and perhaps even many years beyond) of her children's lives.

Her family hails from Orange County, California, USA, and she's just finished her 5th grade year at her local public elementary school. She's known for a few years now that she and her brother are different from the other Muggle kids at school--basically, after she'd had a few magical accidents at her local Muggle school a few years back, her father realized that she must have some magical-inclination and he started sending Leolaine and her siblings to his older sister's house each summer to play with and learn from their magical cousins.

Leolaine is very excited to start her first year at Hogwarts and can't wait to meet all the new friends she's going to be make. With all the weird accidents she kept having at her Muggle school, her circle of Muggle friends had been shrinking over the last few years, but she hopes to reconnect next summer after her first year when she'll know how to control herself better.
