Leah Lynn Gabriela Fortune is an American-association footballer for the University of Texas and the Brazil under-20 women's national team. She was born in São Paulo to missionary parents and grew up in Illinois.[1][2] FIFA.com describes her as "one of the more unusual players" in the 2010 U-20 Women's World Cup, and describes her style of taking throw-ins as "a remarkable long throw, the prelude of which is a spectacular forward flip to help her launch the ball a long way into the area".[3]
By virtue of her dual nationality, she could have the opportunity to play at the senior international level for either Brazil or the United States.[2]
