Clover Cosplay

Leah Callahan is publicly on the registers as a nurse at Mercy Hospital, and may have met anyone at that location.

Leah is also known as Clover Cosplay, and goes to conventions in various personas. Her best known convention persona is Supergirl.

Background
Leah was born on the east coast of America, she has a very slight drawl from that area. She has a large Irish family with four brothers and three sisters, mom and dad still perfectly fine, and loves them all even if she can't stand to live with them anymore. She moved to Metropolis when she showed a marked interest in her first aid courses and got some financial assistance toward medical school.

Getting a nurse's degree, Leah got a job at Mercy Hospital and has been there for the last six years. It's a gruelling job though, and she found that having a big family prepared her pretty well for it. In another way too, as her sewing became an outlet for her in her off time.

She was alone a lot, being away from the family, and needed noise. So she played video games around studying, and kind of got a bit obsessed with it. Making costumes for halloween didn't seem to be quite enough, even if it was hella fun.

And a local super-hero convention became a way to do it year-round. She particularly liked being Supergirl, because of how wonderful she thought the life would be, and became known as one of the most loving and warm supergirls doing the circuit.

So happens one day she got caught in traffic and nearly run over by a semi trailer, and the ACTUAL Supergirl saved her! And taking her to the convention, hanging out with her, she became a little bit of a celebrity. The Supergirl cosplayer who actually brings Supergirl with her sometimes? Oh yeah, that's known. And she's NICE. Looks a little better than the real thing in a lot of ways. She got a reputation and it's a fun life.

Personality
Leah is a pretty open person, honestly. She's very stable and controlled when she needs to be, but lets her love for humanity shine through when it matters.

When things get rough, Leah has the strength to be a full-time nurse at a busy hospital. That takes a lot of emotional stamina and a strong stomach. It also makes her exhausted more than not though, and that makes her want an outlet.

So when she needs a way to let it all go, Leah turns to love. She's a solid geek, with superhero and anime and comics and sci-fi in her blood. Her family couldn't afford much, but she learned to sew and started a bit of drawing herself, and eventually she learned about Cosplay! The ability to escape into another person and share your love of that persona with others became so important that Leah started doing it in most of her free time.

Her favourite cosplays are strong women who have the ability to show others how they can be strong inside. Supergirl, Korra, Batgirl, Starfire. She's got a heart that wants desperately to make lives better, not just help them to heal, and when she gets on a costume she becomes someone better than just the sore, tired nurse who wants nothing more than to sit down after a long day.

She's also got a temper, after being raised in a large family, and is a strident feminist. As in, she only chooses cosplays that are women worth being, grabs ahold of any cause that supports the rights of -everyone-, and stands up when she sees someone else doing the same. Even if they're a boy.
