Her early years were quite uneventful and passed by in a whirl of small gathering's and new thing's to learn and book's to read, the only event affecting her was the death of her dear Grandfather, whom she was very close to. This sent Leahandra into a melancholy from which it took her a long while to break, causing her parent's to worry over her health and thus she was sent to the local boarding school. Her father having decided perhap's the change of pace would help her recover.
