𝖓𝖆𝖒𝖊;; blake
➛ blake's parents had initially hoped for a son, and in their disappointment, chose a gender-neutral name: blake. they picked the name simply because they found it appealing, without attaching any specific significance to it. for blake, however, the name took on a deeper meaning. she embraced it as emblematic of strength, feeling that it conveyed a sense of resilience and power.

𝖘𝖚𝖗𝖓𝖆𝖒𝖊;; graham
➛ blake inherited her father's surname as he was adamant that any child of his must carry his family name. her parents were not married, resulting in her mother having a different surname. this insistence on tradition from her father underscored his desire to maintain a familial legacy through his daughter, despite the unconventional family structure.

➛ agent graham
after re4, she became an agent and that's how people called her. this new identity was particularly meaningful to her because it reflected respect for her own achievements and capabilities, rather than her being recognized simply as her father's daughter. she found profound satisfaction in this acknowledgment, appreciating how her role as an agent allowed her to establish her own reputation independent of her family connections.

➛ little howl
during the events of resident evil 4, leon dubbed her "little howl" as her code name for the mission, assigning "baby eagle" to ashley. she found the nickname endearing, and it remained with her as her code name when she later became an agent herself. this charming alias not only highlighted her sharp instincts and agility but also marked the beginning of her distinguished career in covert operations.

➛ harvard student in politic
blake had always harbored a strong aversion to politics from a young age, associating it with the strained relationship with her father, who was often absent and openly disapproving—circumstances she attributed to his political commitments. after high school, yearning for a break to contemplate her future, blake's aspiration was met with resistance from her father. he vehemently opposed the idea of a hiatus and instead compelled her to pursue a degree in political studies. reluctantly, she acquiesced to his demands, fueled by a lingering hope that this concession might finally earn his pride and approval.

➛ dso agent
after the harrowing events in spain during resident evil 4, blake made the decisive choice to leave harvard and enlist in the army to be a dso agent, a decision that ran counter to her father's wishes. the intense experiences she endured in spain had crystallized her desire to dedicate her life to helping others and facing danger head-on. this realization came with the understanding that her father's approval might never align with her own aspirations. despite facing opposition from those around her, blake pursued her new path with conviction, driven by a newfound understanding of her own purpose and the acceptance that her father's approval might remain elusive.

𝖕𝖑𝖆𝖈𝖊 𝖔𝖋 𝖇𝖎𝖗𝖙𝖍;; washington dc
➛ blake spent her entire life in washington d.c, alongside her father and sister. throughout her childhood and teen years, her family relocated twice within the city. when her father finally achieved his dream and was elected president, the whole family moved into the white house.

𝖗𝖊𝖑𝖎𝖌𝖎𝖔𝖓;; atheist
➛ despite her father and sister's christian beliefs, blake never resonated with religion. in her younger years, she was occasionally compelled to attend church, an experience she vehemently disliked. her lack of belief in a higher power remained unwavering throughout her life, and she harbored a general aversion towards organized religion. however, she held a firm stance on respecting others' beliefs, as long as they didn't impose them forcefully onto others.

born and raised in the usa, english is blake's native language, which she speaks fluently.
➛ korean
blake is proudly half-Korean, her mother having been born in south korea. eager to connect more deeply with her korean heritage, blake decided to learn the language. however, her father, declined to financially support hiring a Korean language tutor. undeterred, blake faced significant challenges in her pursuit to learn korean. without the ease of a personal instructor, she turned to alternative methods such as online courses, language exchange apps, and community groups, determined to embrace and strengthen her connection to her korean roots.

𝖍𝖊𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙;; 172cm (5'8)
➛ blake inherited her height from both of her tall parents, standing out with her stature, which she has always embraced with confidence. unlike her older sister ashley, who is noticeably shorter, blake has always been content with her height. she particularly loves the elegance of her long legs, which she views as an asset, never feeling self-conscious about towering over others.

𝖜𝖊𝖎𝖌𝖍𝖙;; 60kg (132lbs)
➛ blake's father enforced a strict diet regimen for both her and her sister, driven by his desire for them to maintain a certain appearance, especially under the scrutiny of cameras. his stringent standards extended to excluding anyone he deemed "fat" from their household. while blake's Korean heritage naturally kept her from ever being overweight, her father's insistence on controlling their diet did lead her to be somewhat underweight.

➛ however, her journey took a turn when she joined the army. the rigorous physical training and balanced nutrition provided by the military helped her regain a healthier weight and develop a stronger, fitter physique.

𝖍𝖆𝖎𝖗;;
➛ blake, originally having black hair due to her korean heritage, grew up feeling overshadowed by her sister, who seemed to garner more of their father's attention and affection. in a bold move to both defy her father and vie for his notice, blake decided to bleach her hair blonde at the age of fifteen. this drastic change angered her father, leading to her punishment—an outcome she was indifferent about, as she felt beautiful with her new look. despite her transformation, the desired shift in her father's attention did not materialize, and blake still found herself longing for the affection that seemed reserved for her sister.

➛ just before embarking on her journey into the army, blake made the decision to dye her hair back to its natural black color. joining the army marked a significant turning point in her life—a moment where she resolved to break free from the cycle of seeking her father's approval. the act of returning to her roots symbolized a reconnection with her authentic self, free from the influence of her father's expectations. moreover, she recognized that her natural hair color was more practical and suitable for the demands of military life. embracing her black hair felt like shedding the last vestiges of her father's control and embracing her own path forward, one defined by her own choices and convictions.

➛ during a harrowing mission, her first one, blake faced a pivotal moment that forever altered her sense of self. amidst the chaos of combat, her hair, a symbol of her identity and past, was brutally cut by the enemy—a visceral act that stripped away not just her physical appearance but also a part of her former self. In that intense, life-defining moment, the old blake, with her lingering vulnerabilities and hesitations, ceased to exist. from the ashes of that experience emerged agent graham, a resilient, hardened version of herself, marked by her shorter hair—a visible reminder of the sacrifices and trials she endured during her training in three army and roughness of her first mission. this transformation wasn't just external; it permeated her psyche, reshaping her outlook and approach to her duties.

𝖊𝖞𝖊𝖘;; blue
➛ despite blake's strong connection to her korean heritage, she possessed a unique genetic anomaly—a rare occurrence of having blue eyes, a trait uncommon among korean individuals. this distinctive feature set her apart visually, sparking curiosity and intrigue among those she encountered.

➛ as an estp, blake embodies these characteristics in her own unique way. her upbringing in the political spotlight of washington d.c instilled in her a sense of adaptability and resilience, allowing her to thrive in high-pressure situations. her decision to join the army further highlights her adventurous spirit and willingness to take risks in pursuit of her goals. blake's spontaneity and ability to think on her feet served her well during her time in the military, where she faced numerous challenges and made split-second decisions in the heat of battle. her charisma and charm not only helped her forge strong connections with her fellow soldiers but also made her a formidable presence on the battlefield. despite her assertiveness and boldness, Blake also possesses a compassionate side, especially towards those she cares about.

𝖕𝖊𝖗𝖘𝖔𝖓𝖆𝖑𝖎𝖙𝖞;;
➛ cold
blake has always maintained a cold demeanor towards those she doesn't know, a shield she uses to protect herself. growing up as the president's daughter, and previously the governor's daughter, she was often approached by people interested only in her status and wealth. despite her deep longing for genuine friendships and meaningful connections, blake repeatedly encountered people who exploited her. to guard her heart, she adopted a distant and aloof attitude. this coldness became her defense mechanism, a way to keep others at bay and safeguard herself from further hurt.
➛ brave

➛ selfish
in her quest for affection and acceptance, blake was a generous soul, always giving to others. she hoped that her kindness would earn her the love and friendship she craved. however, her efforts were often met with ingratitude, and those she helped frequently abandoned her. tired of being taken advantage of and receiving nothing in return, blake decided to prioritize herself. she resolved to concentrate more on her own needs and to care less about pleasing others. blake came to understand that her well-being was more important than the approval of those around her, and she began to put herself first.

➛ sensitive
even if she continues to act cold, blake is actually very sensitive, sometimes even a crybaby. she hates to see others in pain or sadness, especially those she loves. all her emotions are strong and intense; when she is sad, she will cry, and when she is angry, she can become aggressive. her cold exterior is a mask for her deeply empathetic and emotional nature, revealing a complex and multifaceted personality.
➛ loyal
blake is also fiercely loyal to those she loves and trusts. she would never hurt or betray them in any way. when she loves someone, she gives them her complete trust and unwavering support. her loyalty is a cornerstone of her character, providing a stark contrast to her otherwise guarded demeanor. for those who earn her trust, blake is a steadfast and devoted friend, always ready to stand by their side.
➛ insolent
from a young age, blake started being insolent as a desperate attempt to gain her father's attention. if being rebellious was the only way to make him notice her, she was willing to do it. her insolence extended beyond her father to her teachers as well. when her father got mad, his anger directed at her was a form of communication, albeit a negative one. sadly, she continued this behavior for years, using insolence as a means to maintain a connection with her otherwise distant father.

➛ minji was not happy about the pregnancy or the prospect of living with john. she had never wanted to have a child or settle down with him, but her father, thrilled about the advantageous relationship, forced her to stay. minji refused to marry john but reluctantly stayed at his house under her father's pressure. she continued her life as usual, showing little care for the baby growing inside her. 

➛ blake was born a week late, much to minji's annoyance. frustrated and eager to end the pregnancy, she demanded to induce labor. when blake was finally born, minji refused to hold her, blaming the baby for the painful pregnancy. with john absent during the birth, no one else stepped forward to hold the newborn, leaving blake without the immediate warmth and comfort of a parent's embrace. 

➛ during blake's childhood, minji showed no interest in caring for her. she left blake in the hands of nurses and continued to live her life as if she were not a mother. minji was indifferent to blake's milestones, such as her first steps and her first words. when blake's first word turned out to be "mama," minji remained unmoved and continued her self-centered lifestyle, ignoring her daughter's need for maternal affection. 

➛ after enduring two years of this detached and uncaring environment, Minji couldn't do it anymore. without warning, she packed her things and left, abandoning Blake and John. John was devastated by her sudden departure, and nobody knew where she had gone or had any news of her.

➛ forbidden love
there were many factors working against blake and leon's relationship. blake was the president's daughter, significantly younger than leon, who was a seasoned agent. despite these obstacles, including blake's eventual transition into an agent herself, their bond deepened over time. they knew that their relationship would be frowned upon by many, given their backgrounds and the professional boundaries they were expected to maintain. despite these challenges, blake and leon found themselves irresistibly drawn to each other. their shared experiences and mutual respect forged a connection that neither could ignore. leon admired blake's determination and resilience, while blake found strength and solace in leon's unwavering support and bravery. understanding the complexities and potential backlash of their relationship, they decided to keep it a secret.

➛  bodyguard x client
their relationship began as nothing more than that of a bodyguard and a client. leon, the president's most trusted agent, was chosen to protect and rescue his daughters in spain. at first, blake was just another assignment to leon, who maintained a strictly professional demeanor. however, during their time in spain, blake began to flirt with him. though leon still harbored feelings for ada and remained impassive for most of the night, he found himself gradually drawn to blake's charm and persistence. 

➛  unrequited love
blake had a hard time getting into leon's heart. as a professional agent, leon couldn't allow himself to be in a relationship with a younger woman who was also his client and the president's daughter. complicating matters further, leon still harbored feelings for ada. however, over time, blake's persistence and genuine affection began to break through his defenses. she demonstrated unwavering support and compassion, slowly helping Leon to see her as more than just the president's daughter. despite his initial reservations and the complexities of their circumstances, blake managed to capture his heart, and they eventually entered into a relationship.

leon's initial interaction with ashley and blake was purely professional—he was focused solely on completing his mission and ensuring their safety. however, blake's playful flirtation caught him off guard at first, initially irritating him as it seemed to distract from the task at hand. yet, as the hours passed and they faced increasingly dangerous situations together, leon found himself drawn to both girls. despite himself, leon couldn't help but be captivated by blake's charm and wit. her lighthearted banter provided a welcome distraction from the intensity of their mission, and he found himself reciprocating her playful advances. as they navigated the challenges together, a bond began to form between them. while leon remained focused on the mission, his growing affection for blake became undeniable, his gaze lingering on her more frequently as they worked together. despite the dangers they faced, their budding connection added a layer of complexity to their dynamic, leaving leon torn between his duty and his burgeoning feelings for blake.

➛ couple (post re4)
even though blake's flirting didn't leave leon indifferent, he knew he couldn't be with her. she was the president's daughter and significantly younger, and his sense of duty and professionalism kept him from acting on his feelings. it wasn't until blake became an agent that they started seeing each other frequently, as they worked at the same base.
blake's first mission was a stroke of luck for her, as it was with leon and some other agents. the mission was rough and lasted three grueling days. during the mission, blake and leon got separated. when they finally reunited, blake was in a horrible state—covered in blood, clothes torn, hair cut. seeing her like that, leon realized how much he cared for her. the fear of losing her had revealed his true feelings.
despite this revelation, leon avoided blake afterward. he believed he couldn't be in a relationship, not with the dangers and responsibilities of his job. but blake was determined to understand why he was avoiding her. for months, their paths didn't cross. but blake, persistent as ever, managed to catch him while he was training.
their confrontation was intense. they argued, emotions running high, and in the heat of the moment, they kissed. that kiss marked the beginning of their hidden relationship. despite knowing it wasn't a good idea, given their professional roles and the potential scandal, they couldn't deny their feelings for each other. they decided to keep their relationship a secret, cherishing the stolen moments they could share amidst the chaos of their lives.

➛ married (post re6)
leon never liked the idea of getting married, especially given the dangers and demands of his job. sadly for him, it was one of blake's dreams to marry the love of her life. whenever the topic came up, leon would refuse, leading to numerous arguments between them. despite their love for each other, this disagreement created a rift in their relationship. over time, leon began to see how this issue was causing them to grow apart. realizing how important it was to blake, he reluctantly started looking for a ring. he didn't want to get married, but he couldn't bear the thought of losing her. if proposing was the only way to keep blake by his side and make her happy, he was willing to do it for her. a few months after the events of re6, leon finally proposed to blake. their wedding was small and intimate, just as leon preferred. blake was perfectly happy with this, as long as she could be with him. they invited only their closest friends: claire, chris, jill, rebecca, sherry, and ashley. despite the simplicity of the ceremony, it was filled with love and joy, marking the beginning of their new life together and leon was happy to have accepted.

➛ blake always had anxiety, a condition that began in her teenage years and only intensified with the demands of her job. her responsibilities and the constant danger she faced as an agent exacerbated her anxiety, making it a constant presence in her life. despite her outward strength and determination, she often battled with inner turmoil, struggling to maintain her composure in high-stress situations.

➛ the more blake got older, the harder it became for her to control her anger. as a child, she was often angry, and this only worsened during her teenage years. she was angry at her father for his neglect, her sister for their strained relationship, and the world for the hand she had been dealt. this anger became a constant companion, shaping much of her behavior and interactions. her anger issues persisted into adulthood. despite her efforts to manage it, the frustration and resentment she had built up over the years often surfaced, sometimes explosively. her job as an agent, with its high-stress situations and constant dangers, added fuel to the fire. she found herself lashing out, struggling to keep her temper in check. leon was acutely aware of blake's struggle with anger. he saw through the tough exterior to the pain and vulnerability underneath. rather than reacting to her outbursts with frustration, he approached her with patience and empathy. he became a calming presence in her life, helping her to find healthier ways to express and deal with her anger.

➛ blake never smoked her entire life. she always hated it and never wanted to try it. her aversion to smoking was strong, rooted in a desire to maintain her health and avoid the risk of lung cancer. even during moments of stress or peer pressure, blake remained steadfast in her decision.

➛ blake didn't like alcohol and only drank twice in her life. the first time was when she was a teenager at a party, an experience she quickly regretted. the second time was at a celebration at the white house after leon rescued her and ashley. feeling the pressure of the moment, she drank a bit but leon, aware of her discomfort of the party, gently stopped her before she could drink more.

➛ melee weapons
blake is exceptionally skilled with melee weapons, a talent she never expected to develop but one that she has grown to love. she has a particular affinity for knives and daggers, appreciating their precision and versatility. her proficiency extends to the katana, a weapon she finds both elegant and deadly. although her job rarely calls for the use of a katana, she treasures the opportunities when she can train with one. her skill with melee weapons is enhanced by her flexibility and stealth abilities. blake's agility allows her to move with fluid grace, making her a formidable opponent in close combat. her stealth skills enable her to approach enemies undetected, giving her the upper hand in surprise attacks. this combination of attributes makes her particularly effective with knives and daggers, which require both precision and speed. blake's training regimen is rigorous. she spends countless hours honing her techniques, practicing swift, silent movements, and perfecting her strikes. her dedication to mastering melee weapons is driven by the belief that these skills can make a crucial difference in the field. whether she is disarming an opponent or navigating through a high-risk mission, her expertise with blades often proves invaluable.

➛ bows/crossbows
bows and crossbows are definitely not blake's forte. she struggles with aiming at distant targets and prefers the precision of a scope, which bows typically lack. despite numerous attempts to master these weapons, she finds them frustratingly imprecise. blake thrives in close combat situations, where she can rely on her agility, stealth, and melee weapon skills. she feels more at home on the battlefield, engaging enemies directly rather than from afar. the intensity of close combat aligns with her strengths and personality. she enjoys the adrenaline rush that comes with being in the thick of the action, where her quick reflexes and tactical thinking can shine. blake's preference for direct engagement allows her to utilize her training with knives, daggers, and other melee weapons to their fullest potential.

blake is highly skilled with a handgun, capable of executing headshots with ease. her marksmanship is exceptional, honed through countless hours of training and real-world experience. in the heat of a difficult battle, she can seamlessly switch from using one handgun to dual-wielding, demonstrating remarkable dexterity and precision. her proficiency with handguns provides a perfect complement to her melee combat abilities. whether engaging enemies at close range or picking off targets from a distance, blake is versatile and adaptable. her ability to switch between one and two handguns gives her a tactical advantage, allowing her to maintain a relentless offensive and defensive posture.

using a shotgun presents more of a challenge for blake. the weapon's considerable weight and powerful recoil make it difficult for her to handle. every time she fires a shot, the force pushes her back a few steps, disrupting her stance and making it harder to maintain accuracy. despite these difficulties, blake doesn't shy away from using a shotgun when the situation demands it. she understands the tactical advantages it offers, especially in close-quarters combat where its spread can take down multiple enemies with a single shot. determined to improve her proficiency, she dedicates time to practicing with the shotgun, working on strengthening her grip and stance to better manage the recoil.

blake is competent but not exceptional with a sniper rifle. she knows how to use it effectively as long as the target remains relatively stationary. her accuracy diminishes when tracking fast-moving targets, a skill that requires a level of patience and precision she hasn't fully mastered. while she can manage in a pinch, sniping is not her preferred method of engagement. blake's discomfort with the sniper rifle is partly due to her preference for being closer to the action. she thrives in the dynamic environment of the battlefield, where her agility, quick reflexes, and proficiency with handguns and melee weapons can shine. the long-range, isolated nature of sniping feels too detached for her liking, making her feel disconnected from the immediate intensity of the fight. recognizing her strengths and preferences, blake usually leaves the sniping duties to her teammates who excel in that role. she trusts their expertise and focuses on what she does best: engaging enemies up close and providing crucial support in the heat of battle. this allows her to leverage her skills effectively while ensuring the team operates at its best.

blake's discretion extends beyond physical stealth. she is adept at blending into different environments, using disguises and altering her behavior to match her surroundings. whether she needs to pass as a civilian in a crowded market or a high-ranking official at a formal event, blake's adaptability allows her to gather critical information without drawing attention. her ability to read social cues and respond accordingly is an essential part of her infiltration strategy.

➛ blake was born in washington d.c. on august 16, 1985, as the youngest daughter of john graham and the only child of minji jung. her birth was a significant event for the graham family, especially given her father's prominent position in politics. john, who had always dreamed of having a large family, was overjoyed at blake's arrival. he adored her from the moment she was born, showering her with affection and attention whenever his busy schedule allowed. however, the relationship with her mother, minji, was starkly different. minji, the daughter of a wealthy political figure herself, had never truly wanted to settle down or have children. her relationship with john was more about maintaining a certain status and enjoying the perks of being associated with a rising political star. minji's indifference towards motherhood was evident from the start. she showed little interest in blake's milestones, such as her first words or steps, and preferred to continue her socialite lifestyle rather than engage in parenting.

➛ blake was only two years old when her mother, minji, left, abandoning her and leaving her alone with her father, john. this abrupt departure marked the beginning of a difficult and tumultuous period in blake's life. her father, initially loving and attentive, became increasingly bitter and resentful after minji's departure. overwhelmed by the responsibilities of raising a child alone while managing a demanding political career, john's frustration and anger began to surface in harmful ways. as blake grew older, john's behavior towards her changed dramatically. consumed by his own pain and feelings of betrayal, he started to project his anger onto blake. he constantly blamed her for minji's departure, telling her that it was her fault that her mother left. these harsh words left deep emotional scars on blake, who struggled to understand why her father, whom she once adored, now seemed to resent her. john's growing animosity towards blake became more pronounced as he started to distance himself from her, redirecting his attention and affection towards ashley, his daughter from his previous marriage. ashley, being older and having a more stable relationship with their father, became the center of his world. john's favoritism was evident in his actions and words, leaving blake feeling increasingly isolated and unloved. this environment of neglect and emotional abuse had a profound impact on blake's development. she grew up feeling unwanted and blamed herself for her mother's departure, internalizing her father's harsh words. the lack of maternal affection, combined with her father's coldness, created a deep-seated sense of inadequacy and anger within her.

➛ the relationship between ashley and blake was fraught with tension and resentment, creating a complex and challenging dynamic between the two sisters. from a young age, their bond was overshadowed by the emotional turmoil within their family. blake, feeling the sting of neglect and blame from their father, harbored deep-seated anger towards ashley, who seemed to be the center of his attention and affection. on the other hand, ashley was equally resentful of blake, blaming her for the disruption caused by her mother's presence and eventual departure. ashley, being older by a year, had a different perspective on their family situation. she never knew her parents together, as john's affair with minji and the subsequent birth of blake had already created a fractured family dynamic by the time she was born. ashley's mother, devastated by john's betrayal, instilled a sense of resentment towards minji and, by extension, towards blake. this resentment grew as ashley witnessed her mother's pain and the breakdown of their family. for blake, the constant comparison to ashley was a source of deep frustration and hurt. john's favoritism was clear, and blake felt overshadowed by her sister's seemingly perfect relationship with their father. this favoritism only fueled blake's anger, as she struggled with feelings of inadequacy and rejection. she often lashed out at ashley, unable to express the depth of her hurt and jealousy in any other way.

➛ during the re4 mission, the tension between blake and ashley was palpable. they were in the midst of a heated argument when leon arrived to rescue them. both sisters were undeniably attracted to leon, adding another layer of complexity to their already strained relationship. blake, seeing an opportunity to ruffle ashley's feathers, began flirting with leon as a joke. for once, the spotlight wasn't solely on ashley but shared between the two of them, which was a novel experience for blake. as they navigated the dangerous terrain of rural spain, their initial bickering gave way to a grudging cooperation. despite her playful teasing, blake's interactions with leon gradually shifted from mere jest to genuine connection. leon, with his composed demeanor and unwavering focus, became someone both sisters could depend on. one pivotal moment came when leon was captured and caged in the stairway room, leaving blake and ashley to fend for themselves. as they ran into a nearby room to figure out how to unlock the cage and free leon, the gravity of their situation hit them hard. both girls were terrified, but for the first time, blake, usually the more composed of the two, began to panic. the fear and stress, coupled with the responsibility of saving leon, overwhelmed her. seeing blake in such a vulnerable state was a turning point for ashley. it was the first time she had seen her sister so distressed, and her own fears took a back seat as she instinctively stepped into a supportive role. ashley, despite her own anxieties, began to reassure blake, offering comfort and encouragement. she spoke calmly, urging blake to breathe and focus, reminding her that they could figure it out together. this moment of genuine sisterly care marked a significant shift in their relationship. ashley's compassion and blake's willingness to accept her sister's help forged a new bond between them.

➛ after the harrowing events of re4, president graham decided to host a grand celebration at the white house to honor leon and his daughters, blake and ashley, as well as to celebrate ashley's birthday. the event was a significant occasion, filled with dignitaries, government officials, and close family friends. naturally, leon was invited, his heroics in saving the president's daughters making him the guest of honor. the white house was adorned with elegant decorations, and the atmosphere was one of relief and celebration. despite the grandeur of the event, blake found herself feeling a mix of emotions. the recent ordeal had left her with lingering fears, but the sight of leon provided a comforting presence. throughout the evening, blake and leon found opportunities to talk. as the night progressed, their conversations became more personal. blake, feeling a deep connection with leon, began to flirt with him, her playful banter masking the genuine feelings she was developing. for leon, the evening was also a chance to unwind, and he enjoyed their conversations, appreciating blake's wit and resilience. however, as the night wore on, it became clear that their feelings were not entirely aligned. at the end of the night, as the celebration started to wind down, blake gathered her courage and confessed her feelings to leon. she expressed her admiration and the bond she felt had formed between them during their time in spain. however, leon, with a heavy heart, had to let her down gently. he explained that his heart still belonged to ada and that his sense of professionalism made it difficult for him to pursue a relationship with blake, especially considering her status as the president's daughter. heartbroken and feeling a mix of rejection and determination, blake promised leon that she wouldn't give up. she vowed to herself that she would become stronger and prove her worth, not just to him but to herself. the rejection, while painful, fueled her resolve to continue improving and growing as an individual.

➛ during their heartfelt conversation at the white house celebration, blake confided in leon about her desire to join the dso. leon, however, was vehemently opposed to the idea. he knew all too well the dangers and harsh realities of the job, and he didn't want to see blake put herself in harm's way. he explained that he didn't even enjoy his own role in the dso, filled with constant peril and high-stakes missions. blake, undeterred by leon's objections, felt a deep calling to pursue this path. she wanted to prove her strength, not just to leon and her father, but to herself. when she shared her decision with her father, president john graham, he was furious. he had envisioned a different future for his youngest daughter, one that involved continuing her studies and perhaps following a safer, more conventional path. his disappointment and anger were palpable, leading to a heated argument. despite the opposition from the two most important men in her life, blake made a resolute decision. she packed her bags, leaving the white house and all the painful memories behind. she was ready to embark on a new journey, one that she hoped would help her forge her own identity and path. leaving her studies and her father's expectations behind, blake joined the army as a stepping stone to her ultimate goal of joining the dso. the next two years were a grueling test of her resolve and capabilities. the intense training pushed her to her limits, both physically and mentally. she faced numerous challenges, from rigorous physical conditioning to mastering complex combat techniques and weaponry. through it all, blake's determination never wavered. she used the rejection and anger she felt as fuel, driving her to excel in every aspect of her training. her time in the army was transformative. her agility, stealth, and precision with melee weapons, honed over years of personal training, set her apart and earned her respect among her peers and superiors. after two years of relentless effort and dedication, blake achieved her goal. she was accepted into the dso as a rookie, ready to take on the challenges of her new role. the transition from the army to the dso was another rigorous process, but blake approached it with the same determination and resilience that had carried her through her training. as a rookie in the dso, blake faced a steep learning curve. the missions were dangerous and the stakes high, but she felt a sense of purpose and fulfillment that she had never experienced before. her skills in stealth and close-quarters combat proved invaluable, and she quickly earned a reputation for her resourcefulness and bravery.

➛ blake's first mission with the dso was supposed to be relatively straightforward, a way for her to ease into her new role. she was paired with leon and another experienced teammate, and the mission was expected to be routine. when leon saw her for the first time in her dso gear, he was shocked. he had never truly believed she would follow through with her plan to join the dso. but there she was, looking more mature, confident, and determined than ever. her hair, now dyed black, symbolized her transformation and new beginning. as the mission began, everything went smoothly. the objective seemed simple, and the dangers minimal. leon watched blake closely, noting how much she had changed. she moved with a new sense of purpose, her skills sharpened by years of rigorous training. for a moment, leon allowed himself to believe that this mission would be a calm introduction to her new career. however, things quickly took a turn for the worse. without warning, a horde of grotesque, mutated creatures attacked them. the team was caught off guard, and in the chaos, blake was separated from leon and their teammate. the next two days were the roughest of her life. alone and surrounded by nightmarish monsters, blake had to rely on every ounce of her training to survive. she fought relentlessly, killing more creatures than she could count. her agility and combat skills were pushed to their limits as she dodged attacks and struck down enemies. during one particularly brutal encounter, a monster's claws slashed through her hair, cutting it unevenly. her clothes were torn apart, and she was covered in blood and new scars. exhaustion and fear gripped her, but she refused to give in. finally, after two harrowing days, blake managed to find leon again. she was barely recognizable, a fierce warrior who had endured unimaginable horrors. when she saw leon, she collapsed into his arms, completely spent. leon held her tightly, a mix of relief and sorrow in his eyes. their other teammate had not survived the ordeal, adding a heavy weight to their reunion. despite her exhaustion and the trauma of the past two days, blake refused to abandon the mission. leon urged her to return to the base and recover, but she was adamant about finishing what they had started. she felt a deep sense of responsibility and determination to see the mission through, no matter the cost. her resolve impressed leon, who saw the depth of her commitment and strength.

➛ after the mission, leon found himself overwhelmed by his feelings for blake. the intense bond they had formed during their harrowing experience, coupled with the raw emotions that surfaced, left him terrified of the implications. convinced that it was best to ignore her and suppress his emotions, he chose to distance himself completely. he believed that maintaining a professional distance was the right course of action, even though it meant avoiding blake entirely. leon's decision to stay away hurt blake deeply. after all they had been through together, she expected support and understanding, not abandonment. when he never visited her in the infirmary after the mission, it left her feeling isolated and confused. the absence of his presence was a stark reminder of her vulnerability and the deep emotional connection they had shared, now seemingly discarded. determined to confront leon and understand his sudden coldness, blake spent the next two months searching for an opportunity to speak with him. her frustration and sadness grew with each passing day as leon continued to avoid her. she left messages, asked colleagues about his whereabouts, and even tried to catch him in passing, but he always seemed to slip away. finally, after weeks of searching, blake found leon in the training room. he was immersed in his workout, using the physical exertion to drown out his conflicted emotions. seeing him there, looking so focused and yet so distant, brought all of blake's feelings to the surface. anger, hurt, and a desperate need for answers surged through her as she approached him. their confrontation was intense. blake's pent-up emotions exploded as she demanded to know why he had been avoiding her. leon, caught off guard, tried to explain himself, but his actions only fueled her frustration. she felt betrayed by his distance, especially after everything they had endured together. the argument escalated, with blake's emotions boiling over from the mix of anger and pain she had kept bottled up for so long. overwhelmed by the intensity of the moment and the raw vulnerability of their confrontation, blake acted on impulse. she grabbed leon's face with both hands and kissed him, pouring all her feelings into that single act. the kiss was a release of all the emotions she had been grappling with: the fear, the longing, the frustration, and the deep connection she felt with him. leon, initially stunned, felt the full force of blake's emotions through the kiss. the barriers he had built around his heart began to crumble as he responded, returning the kiss with equal fervor. in that moment, all their unspoken feelings and unresolved tension came to the surface, creating an intense and undeniable connection. as they pulled apart, both were breathless, the weight of their shared experiences and suppressed feelings crashing over them. leon realized that his avoidance had been driven by fear, not practicality. blake's determination and the raw emotion she had shown made him confront the truth he had been denying: he cared deeply for her.
