how the ability works ♦
 Sileas's voice emits a high frequency tone, hypnotic to male ears. Sileas has learned to control and extend the time frame under which she can keep the males under her control. The tone is triggered by Lea's singing, and she has control over it. One of the effects of this is some men becoming a little too enthusiastic with her. Her powers work on men regardless of weather they want to be in her control or not, but there are limitations to that, if her "victims" are against something she wants them to do they won't do it. 

Lea's tone is usually triggered by her singing, but occasionally it can take effect when she's talking and is focused enough for her tone to surface.

Using her voice very often or for long periods of time leaves her emotionally drained. Using her powers too much can make her cranky, and she can lash out because of this. Using her ability too much can also tire her out and in need for rest for a few days.

She is used to getting her way, which comes from her belonging to a wealthy family, nothing can stand in the way of what she wants, what Lea wants she gets.

hometown ♦ Born in Nice, France, moved to New Orleans as a 5 year old

overall history ♦ The L'estranges were one of the wealthiest families in France, and after moving to America became one of the most wealthy, influencial and prestigious families there. Emmanuel never really had the need to work all that hard, even though he did work hard to maintain what his father and grand-father had built. Emmanuel married Melania a daughter of his father's friend, after a year of dating, they had their first child Philippe a year after their wedding, and two years later Lea came along. Lea's mother died just two weeks after her birth from complications, and her father decided to give Sileas the middle name Melania after her mother. Emmanuel raised his kids with help from his sister and parents. 

It didn't take long for Lea to realise she was different from other girls, when she spoke everyone listened to her. They always seemed to be transfixed on her, hanging on her every word. As she aged, the effects only grew. At the age of thirteen, there was an incident at a party which she was attending with her family, this was where she knew something was off. She shared her concern first with her aunt and then her Dad, who then explained to her that she had powers like her brother and most of their family. Emmanuel decided it was time for Lea to join her brother at Primrose Academy. Once in school, Lea quickly became one of the popular's at Primrose, she was the beauty queen of her time there, Lea was also intelligent and concentrated on her studies more, but she also went out to have fun and did indeed sleep around.

After graduating, Lea joined her brother at their family owned business, helping her father, but she was not really interested in that area. She had heard of Phalanx, and wanted to help others with abilities and so she applied for a job as Science Professor at Phalanx and was surprisingly accepted.

She now teaches at Phalanx.
