Hope Leap

Hope is the matriarch of the Anderson - Leap family. She is one of the few non-human Delta Usagimimi women married to regular men, Bob Anderson. Together they have 11 children, 10 girls and 1 boy.

Hope is the middle sibling, with two brothers and seven sisters, most of which have spread around through South America and Europe, only her younger brother Erik lives still in Key Lake City and visits often.

Meeting Bob

After high school, Hope began to work at a gas station which happened to be on route from Bob's high school to his home. Being 4 years older than him, she hardly paid attention to the young man who was clearly impressed with her. She intended to work at the station only until she figured out what she wanted to do, but what was meant to be a few months became four years.

Hope didn't know it at the time, but Bob would walk half a kilometer home every day of the week even though he had his driver's license at 16, but he preferred to walk just to take his time and see Hope, and if he was lucky, to exchange a smile with her.

On the last day of school of the previous to the last year of high school, Bob approached Hope and asked if he could have her number. By this time, they were on speaking terms, usually exchanging hellos as he walked by. He called her that very night and they started talking nearly every evening through the summer. He didn't have the nerve to ask her on a date, specially since he was still 17 and felt she wouldn't accept. It wasn't until his senior prom close to his graduation where he filled up with courage and asked her to be his date. To his surprise, Hope accepted and they went together to the dance. They had such a great time, she decided to stay with him for the evening, going all the way together on their first night.

Enter Pamela

They started to date immediately after Bob's graduation and everything seemed perfect until three weeks later where she realized she was pregnant. Hope told Bob who at first freaked out but then swore to he that he would be with her with whatever she decides. She explained to him that with women like her, there is no way to terminate a pregnancy since the embryo is as resistant to toxins and drugs as she is, and there is no known way to induce a miscarriage. Bob asked her to marry him that same day, and accepted. Nine months later their first child Pamela was born.

Hope initially moved into Bob's home with his parents, as his mom helped her with her pregnancy. Bob, gave up going to college and instead got a job as a junior teller at a bank to provide for his wife and upcoming kid, a job he will hold for many years.

Once their kid was born, they got a small apartment where they'll start their life together as a family. It was a very small place, cramped for a regular couple but suffocatingly small for a woman as large as Hope. Still it was all they could afford.

At one point in his career, Bob did very well, working at a local bank, he rose to the position of branch manager. He was able to buy a large house, built to accommodate Hope's growing size.

It took some time for Hope to get used to being married and this new lifestyle, but as her family grew she became happier and happier. Her feelings for Bob became stronger over time, going from being forced to married because of the pregnancy to feeling genuine love for him and not imagining a life without him at her side.

Their relationship was tested when the bank where Bob worked closed. He tried desperately to get another manager work but there was none available and he was forced to take a teller job, earning considerably less than before, barely enough to pay the bills and the kids' schools. With not enough money to buy food for the family, Hope managed to use her significant skills and physical might to go into the mountains and hunt for game with her bare hands, capturing deer, boar, or bear with ease, mercy killing them with a single flick of her finger. She was able to butcher the carcass in minutes with her fingers and return home with the meat. She couldn't do this every day so often she would feed her children and husband with her own breast milk.

Hope learned when she was feeding baby Pam that she only needed to think of giving milk and it will start coming out in considerable amounts. Usually with enough force to scrape the paint off the walls, too dangerous for Bob to drink from her directly, yet Pam, even as a newborn, was unaffected by the incredible pressure that would have sliced her father in two, happily drinking her fill in seconds. Pam over time learned to control it, but still needed to release first, allow her pressure to come down to safe levels before she could feed her son and husband. Gina and Ray are twins and while Gina was born with incredible strength, Ray was born as a regular boy without the strength and resistance of his female siblings. Hope always fed Gina first, so when it was Ray's turn her milk came out much softer without risk of hurting him.

Hope doesn't know just how much milk she can produce. She has fed her entire family one after the other without running out.

Things got a little easier later on when their daughter Pamela graduated from medical school and began to work, and giving a portion of her earnings to her parents to help out. Pamela was followed by [[Laurel Anderson|Laurel] who became a chef and began working at a restaurant, a year later their sister Elizabeth finished nursing school and began to work with Pamela as her assistant when she opened her own clinic, Violet struggled following her dream to become a model but eventually began making good money and helped with some of the house load.
Brigitte also began to work right after high school, following her dream of becoming a radio diskjockey, finally Lisa tries to help around the house since it's a bit difficult for her to sustain a steady job due to her clumsiness and accidental chaotic nature. The rest of their children are still in school.

Hope is extremely proud of her daughters and how they are finding their place in the world, often wondering how things might have been if she had not gotten pregnant and so early and had a career of her own.

Relationship with Ray

While Hope sees a bit of herself on each of her daughters and has a bond with all ten of them, there is a special connection she has with her son. He is a regular boy whose only physical trait that resembles his sisters is the natural blue hair. From the moment he was born "normal" yet much different than his siblings, Hope became extra protective of him, always looking out for him and keeping an eye his sisters don't accidentally hurt him.

Personality

Hope is a very warm and generous woman, who has embraced her role as the mother of a very large family. She is very sexually active and extremely fertile, reason why Bob had a vasectomy after Skipper was born. She is very protective of the boys in her family since she sees them as extremely fragile and gets mad at her daughters if they start horsing around the house near them.

Her relationship with her daughters is more laidback, less worried about they getting physically hurt and more focused on teaching them right from wrong and the responsibility of being meta deltas in a world where they could easily splatter regular people by bumping into them a little too hard.

She is proud all her daughters are good people who have not let their immense power go to their heads, even though she knows many of them have already accidentally taken a life or two, something that is common in the meta community in general.

Married life with Bob

When Bob and Hope married, he was fresh out of high school at 18 years of age and hope had just turned 22, and she was only 2.40 meters tall (7' 11''), and while their size difference was stark, romance was still manageable allowing them sex in conventional yet intense ways, however as years went by and Hope continued growing to her current 3.46 meters in height (11' 4''), sexual interactions between them became a lot more extreme, with her sexual drive becoming more intense along with her size, often requiring Bob to be more of a sex toy than a sexual partner.

Hope often gets carried away in bed, putting Bob in very compromising positions which might become fatal if she miscalculates her movements of even if she twitches a muscle too hard around him. She appreciates the trust he places on her and fears one day she might become too big or too strong to control herself enough and she might end up crushing the man she loves. She fears its not a matter of if but a matter of when.
