Personality:
A girl who is quite antisocial and will open up to no one without struggle, but her parents and Celica. Because of the tragic events back in Zofia Kingdom, Leah often stays as close as possible to Celica to support her in her times of need even if the princess refuses to show it-- it is also to help herself from feeling lonely as well. She is very loyal, kind-- though she mainly tries to hide her kindness from everyone else by being rude in order to protect herself from possible deception-- and also, around Celica, always very reckless and is even categorized as a selfish person because of how loyal she is to her and no one else. Her selfishness and responsibilities all revolve around Celica's needs and safety; this happens to be her own happiness in being able to rely on a friend she could trust and be with. Often in the midst of danger will she play hero around her friend to keep her away from harm, but this only results to getting hurt herself-- it is known that she gets hurt often because of this and that she never gets out of it without even the slightest of injuries. But even though she gets hurt, she doesn't feel the pain as much as seeing Celica getting hurt instead, thus always telling her not to worry and that she is fine as if nothing had happened. If it was the other way around, Leah would be furious and go after Celica's pursuer until she gets rid of them completely. It is known that she is very dishonest to herself and very selfless-- Leah cares more about others than she cares about herself and it's most possibly because no one looked at her as a person like how her parents and Celica does, but rather an object they can fully abuse-- despite this she does not care about the people she labels as objects in return for their treatment towards her. With the outlook of constantly putting herself down and being put down by others, she adapted to insults and even abuse herself mentally in order to sustain rude remarks and harsh treatment rather than cry about it which results to her taking all insults supposedly thrown at everyone else towards herself as well. She will not do anything about it if the actions were adjusted towards her as for when it's meant to be aim at everyone else she'll violently attack out of anger much to the others' surprise. Her mindset sometimes worry everyone around her, but she doesn't like it when they do because it'll only make her feel guilty for making them worry. In order to prevent this, she tries to play it off as if nothing happened and avoid answering anything related to herself and how she's feeling. She is fearless of death and is willing to accept it without a second thought just to keep her friend she never had imagined to have safe-- it also is her gateway to visit her parents early and leave the corrupted behind herself to end the disheartening abuse. Oddly enough, Leah is pretty scared of sharp objects despite not being scared of death, but she pushes the thought of fear into the recesses of her mind thus giving her the stubborn personality to continue on. She's quite competitive-- she hates losing against others and playing dirty because it makes her feel unworthy to be with Celica. Losing because of her own strength proves that she cannot help Celica in her times of needs even if she wanted to, thus always trying to pursue victory. Leah often speaks in a harsh manner towards everyone else around her, but towards Celica, she tones it down to show her respect. When she does have a quick moment of depression, she speaks solemnly and dead, but quickly masks it to hide her weakness. Leah also seems to hate it when people try to look at her face fully or when they try to get her hair out of her face. She would tend to shield her head anxiously to hide it or even pull down her mask to wall it further-- she feels as if her appearance is disgusting and her hair helps keep it away from the world when underneath, she's actually considered as cute by many close to her. Many others with a bad attitude always insulted her for her looks and thus caused her to believe it completely-- in order to hide it from them, she wears a mask and keeps her hair long to hide it. No one can really change her mind on it because of how cautious she feels about being deceived.

Biography:
Leah was born in the year of 385 in the Valentian calendar and the year of 590 in the Arcanean calendar-- she is a childhood friend of Celica and the rest of the kids in Ram Village. As a child, Leah spent most of her time admiring and staying away from the royals in Zofia Castle, especially Celica. It was most noticeable that Leah was degraded by the royals and nobles for the way she looked which urged her to cover up her face from everyone.Though born a noble herself, she was never treated as one and used as a low servant or object by other kids older than her. Her mother, Mira, was a brave cavalier while her father, Elek, was a loyally strong knight in the Zofian army-- this results to the parents bringing Leah into the castle to stay with them while they served the kingdom. Because of their job, she never spent quality time with her parents nor anyone else which resulted to her being an antisocial girl as she grew older. Rarely does her parents come back to her only to teach her how to handle weapons and protect herself in times of need and nothing else-- sometimes her mother brings her to the horse stables with her to watch her take care of them for a while but nothing more. When the kingdom was under attack with all the royals suddenly being slaughtered by Desaix and his men without a warning, her parents were killed after they got caught while trying to protect those they could which led to a quick execution due to being witnesses of the act. The young girl quickly ran off from within her room and hid from the dangers of soldiers as the flames grew much more violent than when she first found it to be during the night. Afraid to move and being caught, the girl hid for long as the flames grew rapidly until there was no way out for her.

Leah was going to be left behind in the kingdom at first, but instead was quickly brought along to Ram Village at a young age with Celica and Mycen after they've found her screaming bloody murder and trapped within the borders of flames. In despair of losing the only people who loved her for being her, Leah grew to be much more secluded than others though with Celica by her side, she was able to at least bond with someone and grow attached to her. She remains living in Mycen's home as a stand-in grandchild for three years with Celica and Alm, but she is usually out of the way of the other children around her in the village including Celica since she was always with Alm. With Mycen as her teacher, she also continues training her hands on weapon -- most specifically the lance which made her stand out as odd. She does come to serve Celica when she is alone, however, in hopes of comforting her and getting closer to her. Though as Celica spent more time with Alm, Leah eventually began to wander around the village by herself alone or panic about Celica's sudden disappearance without letting her know if she's going to hang around with Alm. It does bother her a bit and makes her feel excluded from the others, but she doesn't complain about it-- she had already accepted the lingering fact that nobody liked her. Eventually, the children noticed how uncomfortable Leah was around them and decided to hang around her more often. She is normally seen nagging Tobin and Gray when they tease Kliff or get close to Celica, thus making her a target for strong dislike from the boys. She wasn't exactly liked because of how stiff she was around them but she absolutely couldn't stand them because she wasn't exactly treated as human in the first place and she rather have no one else feel the same way. Celica was also a kind hearted royal who needed her profile to be hidden and she was anxious to see her hurt in any way. Though Celica didn't exactly like her way of protecting her from the boys with nagging and caution, she appreciated her efforts in trying despite hoping she'd stop due to not being aware of her full background-- they've never spoken before until after the fall of Zofia castle after all. Though many were very uncomfortable with her behavior, they all learned to accept it though Kliff was pretty fond of her for stepping up for him even though she tries to shrug it off as something that simply bothered her.

Life in the village was quite peaceful and quiet despite the shortage of food and money, but it was quickly ruined the day when Celica was found in Ram Village by Slayde. Leah immediately jumps back to her past instinct she was taught to hone in trying to protect the princess even if it meant getting herself hurt or even killed. Her first action was dragging Celica off and away from the danger around them and block her from the enemy. After being harshly thrown aside several times and nearly getting herself killed, Mycen arrives and orders the kids to head off to the fields for safety and defense. Though Leah had already sustained scratches and minor injuries, the girl still helped the group defend the village and each other. After getting rid of the soldiers, Mycen quickly takes the two girls away to stay with Nomah at the Priory in hopes of keeping Celica hidden for as long as possible. Leah could not bear to leave her friend nor did she belong in Ram Village thus the reason why she had followed the princess to the Priory where they met and befriended Boey, Mae, and Genny-- she was also in grave danger due to being a witness during the attack on Zofia Castle. Her stay at the priory wasn't exactly lively to her despite being surrounded by active children such as Boey and Mae. She also happened to miss the children back at the village she called her friends despite being disliked or not due to never really having engaged in activities and conversations they allowed her to experience for once. After staying at the priory for awhile longer, Leah eventually attempted to open up to the rest of the children staying with her and tried to make herself feel at home again despite being uncomfortable. Though she spoke little to none after being relocated again, she slowly accustomed herself to doing so with everyone as she grew older. Leah would train by herself everyday with a lance, however, because of her incapability of wielding magic and her full training routine with a lance before the entire mess happened she was the odd one out again. She ended up being struck as strange for it and soon began to worry about her terrible skills in magic. Though many at the priory had tried their hands at teaching her both black and white magic, she was only able to wield fire magic just well enough for her to protect herself. In the end, Leah decided that it was better to stick on the path her parents were able to help her forge. Still a loyal companion and friend of Celica, Leah continued to stick with the princess and travel around with her army as a devoted pegasus knight rather than a mage or a cavalier.
