Leya Chitrakaar-Bråheim

 

Leya grew up in the west coast town of Bewickton as the middle child of a group of 5 siblings. The older siblings being Udisha and Palash, and the two younger ones being Bhavan and Nitya. Leyas mother Laranya is a famous musician and hit movie composer, while her father Deepak is a successful and well known painter. Growing up in such a creative household Leya, like her sister Udisha and eventually Nitya early on showed an interest in both painting and music.

Udisha as the older sister, is more traditional and 'home bound', so she stayed behind in town, whereas Leya felt more restless and wanted to leave to explore the world.. She didn't travel that far though, she only took the ferry to the mainland to seek a career in music in the county capitol of Cyme Ixotic..

This is where Leyas story has some similarities to Solvejs story, as she during this time met a football player from Sprottenham.. this football player was the then goalkeeper of the team, Glenn Hoddelås. She fell in love with him, and together they moved to his hometown Sprottenham on the east coast, and a few years later they got their first child, Bodil...

But after a while their relationship turned sour, and they split and Leya, with her daughter Bodil, became desparate for a new place to stay... So as a temporary solution she moved in with Solvej and Patrik and their son Rune. However, what was meant to be only temporary became permanent, and around this time she got acquainted with their peculiar neighbour who squatted in this rundown house across the street called "Gufo Triste"..

This neighbour was Gaute, and at this point in time he was still living a carefree life as an extreme sports junkie, travelling bum and wild party animal.. He was already a good friend of Solvej, as he had saved her earlier when her car broke down as she was travelling eastwards, so both Leya and Solvej would frequently get invited to his parties, and sometimes Leya would attend as well...

Gaute became so enamoured with this new woman who wasn't like all the other women.. This one was a challenge, and he just couldn't get his mind off of her.. where every other woman showed up at his swimsuit parties in their swimsuit, she still held on to her everyday clothes.. what a woman! ;)

Eventually him and Leya became a couple and then of course he couldn't be living in that dump of a house anymore, so he moved in with her and her daughter alongside Solvej, Patrik and Rune.. this went well for a while, until around the time when Leya was pregnant with their son Orinder and following a dispute with Patrik, Gaute made the decision that they should move out and get their own home...
