#leverage oc

Ariela “Ari” Fernandez, she/her, poly Eliot/Parker/Hardison ship, Esmeralda Soto FC. An extremely talented forger, able to replicate both art and sculptures and fashion alike, who’s recruited to the team right at the very beginning. Raised by wealthy but very absent and neglectful parents (got her start in forging by replicating their signatures for school forms), so she’s spent most of her life alone before finding Nate and the others. In charge of replicating art pieces and creating clothing replicas for the cons, but also helps out with undercover work occasionally, especially for cons where they need a singer because she has a good voice. Bright and warm and chaotic (but in a much less feral way than Parker is), but also really needs reassurance and craves connection and can’t stand being alone. Honestly sells her own art under an alias, and has a habit of randomly breaking into song to confuse opponents since she’s not that good at fighting (it only works about half the time).

Day Sixteen

Esme Benoit aka. Sophie Devereaux’s older sister attempts to run a con on Saint Marie, steals the DI’s wallet and causes mass chaos as everybody wonders why local businesswoman, Catherine Bordey, has taken to a life of crime

“You owe my mother an apology.” Camille Bordey states as she glares at her boss.

“Why should I apologize to her when she took my wallet,” Richard huffs incredulously as he looks between his DS and the object of their conversation, who is also glaring at him.

“You are impossible! Maman is not a petty criminal!”

“Well, I never said petty. It was actually quite…” Richard stops short as he realizes that the glare of the elder Bordey is deepening. Apparently she does not find the claim that her alleged crimes aren’t petty to be a compliment.

As if to further illustrate her distate, Catherine states, “I may not always enjoy being around you, but I would never steal your wallet, or anyone else’s for that matter. I am a respected member of the Honore community.”

Richard is about to form some rebuttal when he is stopped by the voice of Officer Dwayne Myers from outside the station. “Catherine, I don’t think I have to tell you how disappointed Fidel and I are with this behavior, and poor Camille is gonna be heartbroken upon learnin’ her mother has been fleecing the poor innocent tourists.”

The trio inside the station exchange looks of confusion as Dwayne and Fidel come into view escorting a handcuffed woman who happens to be an almost clone like doppelganger for Catherine. Only the distinctly different clothing signals that the two women are not the same.

The two women make brief shocked eye contact as the entire room goes silent before Camille states, “I believe she is wearing exactly what you claimed Maman had on when she accosted you in the market place this morning.”

Heyy Ok time to meet Honey Dacko! I’ve been very very into Leverage lately so of course, I made an oc! I’m putting her Bio and information under a read more

get to know: tess barre.

the first and only born to a lawyer and a therapist, tess barre grew up in a so-called secretive house. her parents didn’t talk about their work. all confidentiality. tess quickly learnt the key to keeping secrets. on the other hand, to say she was lonely was an understatement.

she grew up lonely and she grew into a lonely job. art forgery didn’t exactly make for close friendships. tess was no longer just herself. she was the forger, playing the art restorer or the authenticator or whatever got her close enough to art to replicate it and switch it out for her fakes. she had names upon names, almost forgetting her own the more she stepped into these roles.

-- “...and she’s wanted all over the middle east, prauge, half of france, luxembourg and some countries i’ve never even heard of.” hardison waved his clicker at the screens.

“you forgot helsinki,” hannah got the crew’s attention. she dropped her bags as she continued listing off names, “spain, amsterdam, kiev...” her eyes flicked to eliot as she gave him a wry, knowing smirk, “that was a fun one, huh?”

“you mean before or after the butcher of kiev tried to kill me?” eliot raised his eyebrows at her, obviously unamused that she had brought that up.
