She wears a light blue priest ' s mitre and blue and green robes with lace trim and a green , yellow and blue pattern down the front . The sleeves of the robe are loose and hang down to cover her hands , and the bottom of the robes drags on the ground . In early artwork Leonora ' s dress was shorter , just long enough to brush the ground instead of dragging , and without lace trim . She wields a long staff topped with a circular design and a large red orb . In early artworks the orb is orange and smaller . Personality . At the start of Palom ' s tale , Leonora is introduced as a humble , shy and quiet young lady who has great aspirations as an Epopt . She rarely asserts herself to Palom , unless he puts his life in jeopardy or insults the Epopts of Troia . Under Palom ' s guidance , Leonora gains more confidence and later takes an interest in becoming a Sage like Palom . She eventually admits to liking Palom , and ignores his wishes to save his life from one of the Maenad s , demonstrating courage and a strong sense of concern for her partner . Palom at one point compares Leonora to his sister , remarking " . . . Is there a written rule somewhere that says all White Mages have to be so stubborn ? " He has faith in Leonora and a certain , mutual fondness for her , saying she passes with flying colors as his partner . Story . " Final Fantasy IV " . Like Biggs and Wedge , Leonora was originally unnamed in " Final Fantasy IV " . She appears in the ending as a little girl in Mysidia , listening to Palom brag to her about his adventures until Porom arrives to take him to the Elder . When one of Troia ' s eight Epopts falls ill , they seek a replacement . Palom is sent from Mysidia to train Leonora , whom the Epopts chose as the new guardian . They train at the Tower of Trials where Leonora learns some Black Magic under Palom ' s guidance . Palom teases her and makes rude remarks about the Epopts , which he apologizes for after Leonora says Troia has been kind to her . They finish her training and return to Troia , where they learn the Red Wings have begun to steal the Crystals again . Palom worries and suggests he and Leonora take Troia ' s Earth Crystal somewhere safe before the Red Wings arrive . Leonora leads Palom with the Earth Crystal through an underground waterway in Troia ' s castle . As they make it out of the waterway , they continue to the Chocobo ' s forest north of Troia , and mount a black chocobo . They fly to the Lodestone Cavern where the strong magnetic field protects them from the Red Wings , who are made to discard their metal weapons . Leonora and Palom take the Earth Crystal to the chamber where the Dark Elf ' s spirit resides . It attacks them and assumes a dragon form , which resists their magic . The Eidolon destroys the Dark Elf , and the Mysterious Girl enters threatening Palom ' s and Leonora ' s lives if they do not relinquish the Earth Crystal . Palom teleports Leonora away from the chamber before casting Break on himself and the Earth Crystal , preventing the Mysterious Girl from taking it . Leonora refuses to leave Palom and returns to save him . After casting Esuna on him , Leonora reveals she was the same girl he was flirting with during the " Final Fantasy IV " ending . Palom tells the Mysterious Girl that even though Leonora is not the best Epopt , she is perfect as his partner . They band together to fight her , but are defeated before losing possession of the Earth Crystal . When the True Moon moves closer into the Earth , Rydia , Luca , Golbez , and Edge go to the Lodestone Cavern and find it has been frozen by Shiva . They reach the Crystal Chamber and find Palom with Leonora , who have been frozen in ice . After the party stops Shiva , Palom and Leonora recover on the " Falcon " . Within the True Moon , Leonora speaks briefly with Palom ' s sister Porom , who reveals Palom ' s faith in her as a student , which surprises Leonora but makes her happy . Luca confronts her over her relationship with Palom , and while she is embarrassed by the question , Leonora admits she does like him . Palom , eavesdropping , remarks that women can be dangerous . After the Creator is defeated , Leonora gives up her position as the new Epopt , deciding she wants to spend more time with Palom to become a Sage . Gameplay . Stats . Leonora ' s versatility comes at the cost of her having the lowest HP growth of the party — alongside Calca and Brina , she is one of three characters with less than 4 , 000 HP at Level 99 . Her MP is good , though not as high as other mages ' , and her Stamina and Speed are low . She focuses more on her White Magic , and has Spirit on par with Rosa and Porom , but lower Intelligence than Golbez , Rydia and Palom . Abilities . Leonora is similar to a Sage , able to learn both White and Black Magic . In the Depths , it is possible to teach Dualcast to Palom , Porom , or Leonora , but only one of the three can learn it . Because she knows both types of magic , Leonora has the most variety with Dualcast . Leonora learns her magic later than the other characters and cannot learn the Black Magic spells Quake , Bio , Toad , Pig , Warp , Break , Death , Tornado , and Meteor . Equipment . Being primarily a white mage by training , Leonora can equip similar equipment to Rosa and Porom , with the addition of rods to reflect her ability to cast black magic as well . Other appearances . " Final Fantasy Trading Card Game " . A card with Leonora ' s artwork from " Final Fantasy IV : The After Years " is present . Its cost is 3 and is of the Water element . It is a backup card , with ' Epopt ' as a subtype . If the player draws this card , they may search their deck for a card of Palom or Porom , and must shuffle their deck afterward .
