History
Born the first child of Dr. Gideon Foster, Professor of Communications at Amherst College, and his wife Alice, Leon Foster grew up in a loving home for the first eleven years of his life. Being born to two muggle parents, he lived a typical American childhood in Hampshire County, Massachusetts. He played on the little league baseball team as a child and was a big fan of the Red Sox. When he was eight, his parents had their second child, who was Leon's sister Beatrice. Leon remains a devoted older brother to his little sister, even though he now lives far away from her.
As he grew closer to the age of eleven, he, like other young wizards and witches, began to have strange things happen around him. The event that spurred Salem Witches' Institute to enroll him as a student was a baseball game in which he managed to hit home runs every single time he went up to bat by using magic (without knowing it) to knock the ball out of the park instead of the force of the bat. What seemed like a lucky game to Leon turned out to be the best indication that he was a wizard.
Sure enough, on his eleventh birthday he was invited to attend Salem Witches' Institute, where he honed his magical ability. For his twelfth birthday, after his first year at Salem, he received his familiar, the Great Horned Owl Virginia, as a present from his parents while shopping for his books. He attended Salem for four years, and for his fifth year he opted to transfer to Firefox University in Spain.
He was sorted into Gryffindor House, where he befriended fellow Gryffindor Eric's Boots and Shoes Whites, who soon became his best friend. Apart from Whites, Leon has gained a number of friends and acquaintances including the caustic Layne Larkin. A rather unfortunate mishap with potions transformed him into a girl, and he took on the name 'Leonora.' Leonora, a chaotic ball of feminine emotions that Leon had never had to deal with before, was unsure of herself and what she wanted. With the help of Micha Volkov, Leonora eventually came to better herself and her emotions and ultimately found herself falling in love with the other girl. After an emotional confrontation with Layne and Whites, Leonora decided to become Leon once again, if only to settle things with Micha.
