"..."
Marsh throughout Part 3 of Pokémon Crimson.
Leila "Marsh" Harris (exclusive to PKMN2000) is the ILTEP champion and is later revealed to be the ex-girlfriend of PKMN Ame in her canon journal entries, as well as Ame's. She was born on September 25, 2001 making her 21 years old. She makes her first appearance in Pokémon Crimson Part 3.
== Physical Appearance ==
Leila is only seen in her champion attire, her hair is black and her eye color is blue (while in matches, her eyes are light blue due to contacts) which consists of a white sleeveless cloak with a green tracksuit with white lines, a grey shirt, black jeans, fingerless black gloves, the Champion Scarf and a bandana referencing Denise Castillos'. Earlier concepts of Marsh reveal her hair color was originally intended to be a golden gray and her eyes were green instead. Visually, Leila appears to be quite taller than other characters. 
== Biography/Personality ==
From her own journal entries, Leila's story is a tale of escaping a terrible home and chasing her dreams which her peers didn't support. Around her late teens, she ran away from her home in Miamisburg, Ohio and her runaway journey led her to the city of El Paso, Texas. In her logs, she refers to her championship victory as "that fateful match," which is when she became the Texas ILTEP champion in 2017, a destiny she sees as a curse that brings her depression. Around the time she became champion is when she started talking to Ame. Ame and Leila's interpretations on their relationship both conflict in determining who was in the wrong for their romantic fallout. 
Leila takes her anonymity very seriously from the small things such as using color changing contact lenses, a mask to cover her face, using a speech module to communicate with others to even being the last person to leave the ILTEP matches. Her heavily guarded private life as Leila is unknown to the public and only to ILTEP officials and members of the Elite 4, which includes PKMN Yua. 
Leila is not mute, she does speak but only when it's absolutely necessary, which is a result of her social anxiety disorder. When she does speak, she speaks at soft volumes, her sentences are short and she does not repeat herself often. 
She seems to have an alter ego, which is Leila and her champion self, Marsh. Her shy demeanor changes when switching personalities, something that she can effortlessly do. As Marsh, she becomes very competitive, menacing, and makes people who face her uncomfortable with her tendency of staring at her opponent for extended durations of time without breaking eye contact. 
== Trivia ==
* In Part 3, Marsh’s staring problem with her opponents is supported when her and Ame take 10 steps back to battle. Instead of turning around to walk to her position, she instead backpedals so she can keep continuous eye contact with Ame.
* Leila is based off someone close to Ame Matoi
* Leila doesn't have a voice actor and this is intentional for her mysterious vibe and a personal reason for Ame Matoi.
* Her logs confirm she was being sued by a fan she assaulted when said fan tried to unmask her, she won the lawsuit due to ILTEP's lawyers on her side.
* The person this character was created to was singlehandedly responsible for creating Pokémon Crimson.
