Character of the day: Leandra Cohen

Name: Leandra Cohen (She has a few other last names, but I decided to round it down.)
Age: Nobody knows. Leandra fights age with botox and implants, though I imagine it to be late forties, early fifties.
Hometown: She was born in Biloxi, Texas, but has resided in Seattle, Washington for over 35 years...though she clings to her accent like a true southern belle would.

Leandra is incredibly beautiful, and has been cursed with extreme beauty all  her life. Now she works extra hard at maintaining it with the help of her plastic-surgeon husband, Curtis.

Leandra was brought up to a beauty queen. She started in pageants when an awkward teen, and mastered them quickly, winning almost every contest she ever entered.

Leandra was in the Miss America pageant, but lost. It was shocking and devastating for her.

Leandra married Dillons biological dad right after college, and the two of them moved to Seattle because he got a job on the KING5 news.

Leandra has spent all of her years in Seattle in the same victorian house in Wallingford, a suburb in Seattle, where she worked to renovate and decorate her home into a page out of a romance novel.

Leandra has been married 4 times, with several handfuls of boyfriends mixed in for spice.

Leandra only had one child, Dillon, citing that D had spread her hips too wide to ever wear a swimsuit properly again.

Leandra has mastered the art of seduction and the look of a demure belle. She uses it as a weapon, and almost always gets her way because of those skills.

Leandra and her daughter are almost identical, though D covers up her looks with body art, piercings, funky clothes, and wild hair.

During the days leading up to her Miss America pageant, Leandra was a victim of assault, an act that her mother worked to cover up. (Who was also a victim of assault herself.)

Leandra is a fun and dramatic character to write about! I love her!!
