Meek, slightly shy and easily intimidated, Leslie's couldn't be more a fish out of water in social interaction if she tried. Her friends are few and far between, mostly due to the fact she can't bring herself to feel entirely at ease around most others. It's not that she's a bad person, or even a cold person; it's more due to the fact she can't seem to drop her guard or trust others' good intentions towards her. It takes her a while to trust, or form bonds, but when she does, she latches onto them, metaphorically speaking, as if they were a lifeline.

She is prone to relying on those she trusts, and if she can put them between herself and everyone else and get away with it... she will. She might even resort to stereotypical hiding behind those she considers friends, if the situation allows. Tends to need a little push in order to make her speak up or bring up her thoughts to the proverbial table, but she will answer if asked.

What she lacks in confidence, however, she makes up for by being rather intelligent. When not under emotional stress, she can be quite sharp, and tends to add two and two in short time; she's a fast, willing learner and despite her social incompetence, she's aware of her 'faults' and does want to improve. She's adaptable despite her shyness, in the sense that she can cope with situations that might be considered 'out of left field'. This is due to the fact she approaches almost all situations with the same amount of mistrust and trepidation, and tackles them usually in the same way. You say aliens landed? She'll ask if someone's been sent to talk to them. She's gotten knee deep into trouble? She'll... come back to that after she's figured out if she should go tell someone or not. She won't bat an eye over strange things, and yet, at the same time, will approach things like a concert with trepidation (oh god, all the people - look at all the people!). She's compassionate, and rarely tends to get angry as she's both patient and non confrontational by nature.

Leslie has been living in Stumpy point her whole life, and it's probably for this reason that she remains mostly unfazed by the strange on goings of the town. She has adopted a rather 'see no evil, hear no evil' approach to how she does most of anything, which is to say... she tends to 'nope' rather hard out of any sort of place that she feels is off.

So far, it's kept her relatively safe and alive, but on the other hand, it's made it hard for her to make friends of any kind, and this has started to affect both her personality and life. People can not, or rather, should not be alone forever, and she knows this is a thing she must remedy sooner than later.

Her family life is rather mundane, in that her parents have a rather average house, the normal 1.5 children expected from a couple, and a large family dog. All in all, Leslie can't really whine about her lot in life; all she needs are a few friends and she'd be entirely satisfied.
