PERSONALITY
[attr="class","fbidossiertxtboxy"] Leslie has a sweet, open, carefree sense to her that everyone who meets the woman absolutely loves. She is a complete and utter delight. Friendly with everyone she meets, Leslie always having a kind word and calls most people “Sweety”. Though for the closest people in her life she has her own little nicknames. She has a great sense of humor and enjoys laughing. Leslie respects hard work, as she works hard herself. Sometimes even pulling double duty for her and her love.
She absolutely adores Annie's family. Though it was pretty easy to do since they all accepted and loved her right away. She knows she can call and count on Ellen just as Annie does, and Jo is like a real niece to her. And of course, there is Charley. Leslie never thought she could love someone like her own child the way she does with Charley. Leslie is one that can be trusted and confided in for everyone, especially the love of her life. Leslie is just the shoulder to cry on, the keeper of secrets, the mender of broken hearts, the one who gives practical advice especially for "her girls"
Speaking of the love of her life, when it comes to Annie, Leslie has the utmost love and respect for her woman. Most people think it difficult but Leslie has the patience of a saint when it comes to Annie. Leslie fell in love with Annie despite her flaws. In fact, her flaws are rather endearing to Leslie. Even the ones that give her a headache and mess to clean up. Leslie knows and understands that Annie is completely her own person and that no matter how hard she tries, sometimes there is no getting Annie to change her mind once she's made it up. It's ok though. Leslie will take care of things until she gets whatever it is out of her system.
Always meaning well and smarter than a whip, but sometimes Leslie can be a bit of a ditz. It could just be her happy, zealous, confident, over trusting, zest for life but often some things just slip right over her head.
Leslie has a shrewd business sense, and really can make you think you're haggling with her when really, she is totally getting her way in the end. It's smart to let people think they're getting their way because they keep coming back thinking they'll always win. So, yeah, she's actually pretty sneaky and can be manipulative when she wants to get her way but she would never do it out of malice. She is smart though and knows to keep a tab on all of Annie's contacts making them her own as well.

HISTORY
[attr="class","fbidossiertxtboxy"]Born and raised just outside of Sioux City, South Dakota, Leslie led a fine life. She had parents who loved her and three big brothers who took care of her. Her parents owned a dry-cleaners which is where Leslie learned everything she knew. But growing up, Leslie knew it in the depths of her heart that she was different. Sure, she went through the motions, went to dances with boys and even had a boyfriend here and there. But it never felt right. That is until she met someone who was just like her. It was her second year in college. Leslie was taking business classes when they met. Her name was Jill and Les was absolutely smitten.
After dating in secret for over a year, Les thought it might be a good idea to introduce her girlfriend to her family. Jill was unsure but Les knew that her parents would love her no matter what; her whole family would. It was an awkward meeting at first but her parents were ok with it. Her brothers, too, though they did throw in a crack or two. It was fine. Les and her girlfriend continued to date but more openly this time around. It was fine for her family but slowly but surely, business at the Hicks Family Cleaners began to slow down until it was completely non-existent. Then the trouble started to come. Long story short, the Hicks family were eventually run out of town. They ended up following the river South, settling in Omaha, Nebraska. Jill broke up with Leslie but she stayed in the area to work and finish out her schooling.
After graduation, Leslie tried to open up a cleaners in her parents old spot but was denied time and time again. She eventually moved to Omaha to be near her parents. She dated and did her own thing, working and whatever. She had a degree so it wasn't hard for Leslie to find work, she was just never completely happy. Once again, Leslie made a move, this time up north to Norfolk, Nebraska. She opened up her own Dry Cleaners there. She had a name and even a motto! “Leslie's Cleaners - The Best Friend Your Clothes Ever Had!” Catchy, right?
Leslie did well in Norfolk. At least well enough to begin hiring some help. She found help in a woman named Annie. Annie was... well, she was quite an interesting person. There was never a dull day in the workplace with her around. Annie was a delight to have in the shop and Leslie found herself liking her more and more. They had a lot in common, musicals especially, and just enjoyed one another's company. Leslie marks the point which she fell in love with Annie the moment she stumbled over the service bell she accidentally tipped to the ground, dropping a box of hangars and spilling a few clothes orders, mixing everything up and making a mess of things, all while continuing to *ding* that little bell. It was quite talented, really, and Leslie told her that all the while laughing as she helped the taller woman to her feet. Unfortunately, Annie was married. Not happily but legally so, and had the cutest child Leslie had ever seen. So Leslie was happy just being able to spend time with Annie at work or on the occasional shifter afterward.
The years went by and eventually, Annie and Rick got divorced. Leslie was prepared to be the crying shoulder for Annie. Instead, Annie asked her out. And really, the rest is history. Annie told her about the business, hunting and all that mess. They have no secrets between them. Leslie spends her days helping and taking care of her woman (in more ways than one). She still has her shop but now helps to take care of Annie's, too. She's also there for and keeps contact with her new extended family, including hunters.
