She is also one of King Andrias' former best friends who King Aldrich, his father, would use her "betrayal" to manipulative him, indirectly making her one of the reasons why he became a bitter tyrant. 
She was voiced by , who also voiced Sabrina Raincomprix, Pollen in Miraculous: Tales of Ladyug & Cat Noir (Seasons 2-3), Suguha Kirigaya/Leafa in Sword Art Online series, Tsurara Oikawa in Nura Rise of Yokai Clan, Ritsu Tainaka in K-ON!, Sue Morris in Doraemon, and Benio Adashino in Twin Star Exorcists.
==Background==
===Personality===
She came to believe that using the box to invade other worlds was upsetting the ecosystem of the multiverse. When King Aldrich and Andrias refused to take her warnings seriously, this ultimately led her to "betraying" her former friend Andrias by stealing the Calamity Box to save Amphibia. However, Leif ultimately regretted her action to take matters into her own hands as she knew Andrias was trying to live up to his ancestors' legacy while being under pressure of it. 
Though Leif was guilty over breaking off and sacrificing her friendship with Andrias and Barrel, Leif did not let her sadness consume her and instead looked for new outcomes in life where she eventually got married and started a family. Leif even kept her positive memories of her friends as she lived her new life and by the time she was of old age, she wrote Andrias a letter to let him know she still loved him despite everything that happened between them. Unfortunately, her actions led to a self-fulfilling prophecy that nearly caused Amphibia's destruction. However, her actions that caused the self-fulfilling prophecy also led to the Calamity Trio coming to Amphibia, ending the Leviathan family tyranny for good, and one its members, Anne Boonchuy destroying the Core for good.
==Biography==
1,000 years before the series' events, Leif was the gardener for Newtopia and was best friends with Andrias, heir to Newtopia, and Barrel the Brave. As the gardener, she used to study other dimensional flora and fauna, and even spent a lot of time with the Moss Men. One day, Andrias showed Leif and Barrel the Calamity Box after his father trusted Andrias with the key. But while playing with the Box, Leif accidentally touched the Box's gems, resulting in her receiving visions about the prophecy, Newtopia's pollution and Amphibia's red moon colliding into the planet. Realizing the consequences of the Newtopia Royal Family's invasions, she tried to warn King Aldrich about this, but he refused to believe it
She then tried to convince Andrias to stop this when he becomes king, but he too denied it due to being under his father's pressure. With no other way to prevent the catastrophe from happening, Leif stole the Box while secretly revealing her intentions to Barrel. She managed to escape from Andrias on one of the Moss Men, though she expressed remorse for betraying Andrias, even understanding his current situation.
Soon, after Olms' guidance, she sent the Box to Earth during the Scandinavian Era, which would be pictured on a jar, on which she also left a note to search for Mother Olm, in order to learn about the prophecy: three bright stars will arrive in Amphibia from Earth and obtain the Calamity Powers to extinguish The Core.
After that, she moved into the Frog Valley and changed her name to Lily Plantar, founding the Plantar family. She later founded Wartwood Swamp and became a farmer. At some point before she died, she married an unnamed frog and had some children. During her old age, she also wrote a letter to Andrias, telling him that despite them having to face changes in life, changes are the beauty of life and imploring him to open his heart before her passing. This letter was discovered by her descendant, Sprig, who read it to Andrias which allowed him to realize how too far he's gone with his crimes. This resulted in Andrias willingly surrendering before being badly wounded by Anne, ending the invasion, and subsequently redeeming himself where after his defeat, Andrias served a life sentence of restoring the landscapes of Amphibia he and the Core destroyed during their dictatorship.

==Trivia==
*It was implied that she is a member of the Plantar Family due to her looking like Sprig, because her dance with the Moss Men looks similar to the Plantars' Hunter Dance, and how her fear after learning how dangerous the Calamity Box is just like how Hop Pop predicted and is aware of.
**The theory is seemingly confirmed in "Newts in Tights" when Anne, Sasha, Sprig and Hop Pop found a room in Plantar archives, which has multiple "L", little Moss Man statue, and it can be accessed by Plantars' book with Calamity Box description.
**This was officially confirmed in "All In", where it is revealed that she is the founding member of Plantar family, having changed her name to Lily Plantar to hide from Aldrich's forces in Wartwood.
