Lelei La Lalena

Lelei La Lalena is one of the main characters from the Gate: Thus the JSDF Fought There! series.
== Charactah Account ==
A 15 year old human sorceress in the Special Area, the second disciple of Cato the Elder Sage. She quickly learns Japanese from the JSDF and serves as a translator for communications between the JSDF and the Empire in negotiations.
Lelei is generally an emotionless girl, with her face constantly fixed in an expressionless look. She is usually calm and silent amongst her friends and would always speak in a collected way. She rarely raises her voice, even in dire situations. However, there are cases where she displays her emotions, such as surprise and awe when she was saved by the JSDF when she was nearly stomped by a horse.
When she joined Itami on a quest to destroy the Fire Dragon, her face contorted into an expression of dark delight, showing bloodlust and rage, when she struck down the dragon with her spell. During her conversation of Giselle, she shows some devious side of her as she plays loan shark with Giselle's gigantic debts making Giselle sob in misery.
