Aaliyah Reynolds

Aaliyah "Leah" Dawn Reynolds is an agent working for the Phoenix Foundation. She is the daughter of former CIA operative Sophia Reigns and former DXS agent Blake Reynolds, and the niece of former CIA operative Ethan Reigns. When Ethan went on an undercover assignment, his wife, Matilda "Matty" Webber, became Aaliyah's guardian. Aaliyah is also childhood friends of Wilt Bozer and Angus MacGyver, the latter who she fell in-love with during their last years of high school.

Early Life
Aaliyah was born on Halloween in 1991 in Oceanside, California to her parents Sophia and Blake Reynolds. Her mother was a CIA operative and her father a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Navy stationed at Camp Pendleton, who was also an agent working for the Department of External Services (DXS). When Aaliyah was four years old, Blake was sent on assignment by DXS (under the guise of another Marine tour overseas) and was later killed in action, along with his DXS partner Gwendolyn Hayes.

When Aaliyah was seven, her and her mother moved to Mission City, California where she would later meet Wilt Bozer and Angus MacGyver. The three would eventually grow to be best friends. Despite being a year younger than them, Aaliyah was in the same grade as them starting in high school.

During her time at Mission City High School, Aaliyah fell in love with Angus and they began a romantic relationship. Their senior year they were voted the class' cutest couple and 'most likely to make it after high school'. Leah and Mac were eachother's romantic 'firsts' (first kiss, first love, first time).

When Aaliyah was sixteen, Sophia was planning on moving them away due to Sophia getting a new job at a law firm in Virgina. Upset, Aaliyah ran away to a spot in the woods where her and Mac had carved their initials into a tree trunk. Mac met her there and drove her back to his place where they spent the night together. The next morning, after returning home, Aaliyah learned from the police that her mother was killed in a car accident. Aaliyah's closest relative, her mother's brother, took custody of her and she moved to live with Ethan and Matty, but not before telling Mac that she would always love him, with Mac repeating the same phrase.

After getting settled with Matty and Ethan, Aaliyah trained at a covert operations center until she turned eighteen years of age.

Time in the Marines
When Aaliyah turned eighteen, she enlisted in the United States Navy.
