Leni Loud

Leni Loud is one of the main characters from The Loud House series.
== Charactah Account ==
The second-oldest of the Loud sisters at 16 years old, she may not be the brightest of the bunch, but she more than makes up for it in beauty and kindness. Leni is an aspiring fashion designer who's naturally unaffected and innocent, and very endearing.
Despite being the second-oldest of the Loud children, Leni is quite ditzy and is very forgetful, absent-minded, and perky. Various examples of her simple-mindedness are expressed throughout the series. In "Linc or Swim," she does not know the rules of the game, "Marco Polo," much to Luan's annoyance. In "Project Loud House," she is shown to be unable to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. When she's being interrogated by Lincoln and Lucy in "Sleuth or Consequences," she thinks they are interviewing her, and states that her favorite color is "zebra."
Her ditzy nature has also caused her to behave like a child, such as in "Changing the Baby," where she got stuck in Lily's crib, calling it a "baby prison," causing her to bawl like a baby, and then gratefully say "agoo" once Lincoln and Lori got her out; and in "Sitting Bull," where she got an "ouchie" (a term for when babies and young kids get hurt), and is then cheered up by Luan when she hurts herself, which she does to cheer up the children she looks after when babysitting.

== Trivia ==
* Leni is named after Lennie Small, a character from John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men.
* Her name ironically translates to "bright."
* Sometimes, the captions misspell her name as "Lenny." As a matter of fact, "Leni" is a pet name for "Helen" or "Magdalene."
* Leni was originally going to be an eight-year-old girl who "didn't know her own strength" before being changed to a stereotypical teenage blonde. Her appearance was also completely different; she was obese, and had brown hair pulled into pigtails.
** Her original personality is also reminiscent of Lennie Small from John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men, who was not only mentally disabled, but also a big, muscular man who didn't know his own strength.
* She likes to make smoothies and can be really creative when picking out ingredients to use.
* Leni is left-handed.
* For the longest time, Leni did not have a driver's license, as she failed her driving test 14 times.
** However, it has been revealed in "Lana Loud" that Leni has since learned how to drive.
** Leni would finally obtain her driver's license in "Driver's Dread".
* She occasionally forgets people's names. In "Sound of Silence", she calls Lincoln "Landon," and in "Overnight Success" she calls Clyde both "Claude" and "Clark."
* Leni has great woodworking skills.
* Leni says that she likes to brush her hair 50 times a day, but she can easily lose track.
* She is the first Loud sister to appear in a title card.
* When Leni is seen walking, she almost always has her eyes closed, a big smile, and holds her hands up. A running gag is that Leni bumps into walls when she's walking, a possible result of her walking with her eyes closed.
** This was brought up in "Fool Me Twice", when she taught her stunt double how to walk into a row of lockers.
* Although Leni and Luan are very close, Leni believes that Luan's hair scrunchie is a "fashion nightmare."
* Leni's hair is the lightest shade of blonde of all the blonde sisters, along with Lily.

* In addition to being arachnophobic, Leni is also murophobic.
* Leni is one of three siblings who caused a blackout, having caused one in "Overnight Success", with the other two being Lincoln in "Left in the Dark" and Luna in "A Tattler's Tale."
* It is revealed in "Brawl in the Family" that Leni's skin cannot tan.
* During road trips, the motion of the van puts Leni in a daze.
* Leni has a crush on Chaz.
* In the comic "After Dark", during the story "Midnight Melody", it is revealed that Leni is a sleepwalker.
* Leni wants to get her belly button pierced, but her father forbids it.
* According to episode 20 of the Nick Animation Podcast, Leni's favorite movie is Legally Blonde.
** She is similar to the movie's title character, Elle Woods, who also is a ditzy, fashion-obsessed blonde. In addition, they are both much smarter than they first appear, as certain episodes show that she is smarter than her siblings realize.
* Her life's work is a six-piece children's jigsaw puzzle.
* She is the second-oldest, but the least intelligent of her siblings. Alternatively, Lisa is the second-youngest, but the most intelligent of her siblings.

* It is implied that Leni inherited her father's arachnophobia.

** In fact, there used to be 40 states, but for only six days, from November 2 to 8, 1889.

* In "Racing Hearts", she did not know the meaning of the Spanish word nada, when Luna said that she and Sam have nothing in common.
* In the Loud House quiz, "Which Loud House Character Are You?", her name is misspelled as "Lenni."

* Before Luan was born, Leni was the middle child.
* Before Leni's birth, Rita and Lynn Sr. almost did not have her due to being nearly driven crazy by Fenton the Feel-Better Fox's annoying song.
** Lori still had Fenton the Fox when she was one year old, implying that Rita and Lynn Sr. put him away in the attic around the time of Leni's birth.

* In "Schooled!", she is shown to be good with kids when she accidentally entered Royal Woods Preschool, she was mistaken for a volunteer and related with the kids on a mental level.
