==Biography==
Adol meets her at her home in Highland where she notices the bottle from the opening of the game on his person. She is shocked to learn that the bottle washed ashore in Esteria which was far from Celceta as she sent that letter.
She thanks him for coming with the letter. She however apologizes as she does not think she can explain this situation well. When Adol asks about the Great Sage, she tells him to cross the bridge to the Sacred Stormvale and through the mountain pass. She als asks him not to venture so far into the Stormvale as it is very old and dangerous and people might not return alive.
After Gruda and his two flunkies injure him at the castle, she comes to check on Eldeel and is feeling lonely by his absence when she finds Adol on the ground. At the village, several of the villagers were angry that Adol entered the Stormvale and must not be allowed back into Highland. 
Leeza counters this by saying he had no intention of defiling the Stormvale and was struck by lightning. The villagers then tell her not to let him back into the Stormvale. Once Adol has recovered, she tells him not to go back into the castle. She then asks him to forget what he saw.
Later when Adol travels to Esteria to procure the Eye of the Moon, Leeza confronts Eldeel in the middle of his meeting with Gruda and his two partners about his turn to evil. She asks him to look in his heart if he is still the noble, peaceful being she has always known.
Gruda drags her away, but Eldeel asks that she is dealt a swift and painless demise. Soon after, at his altar, Eldeel gives her his necklace to revive her before warping out. Later, she is seen begging Karna not to enter the Stormvale as outsiders are not permitted, Karna counters this as the Stormvale has become a haven for evil. Leeza tells her that blood must not be spilled in the Stormvale, but Karna tells her she has no time to waste as innocent people are getting turned into demons and pushes her back so she and her men can pass. Before heading into the Stormvale, Adol explains to her that he came to save Lillia, one of his friends from Rance Village, from being used as a sacrifice by Eldeel. She then acknowledges she has no right to intervene.
After Adol failed to save Lillia, he talked to the elder about Leeza's whereabouts and he learned she left after he went to the castle and she left out important details. The elder explains Adol arrived because of the letter Leeza wrote in the bottle and that she was to look after Eldeel and she learned that one day his heart had darkened and he harbored evil ambitions. Eldeel was revered as a god and Leeza did want to believe he stooped to such evil. She wrote the letter hoping someone would find it and solve the problems she couldn’t.
Later at the ancient city, when Adol couldn’t save Lillia from being sacrificed, Leeza apologizes and tells him she didn’t mean for any of the story’s events the way they played out and gives him Eldeel’s Necklace of Embrace to revive Lillia at a certain chamber and help him through the locked doors. She then begs Adol to stop the plot Eldeel had planned as a result of the corruption Gruda implanted in him.
After Adol defeats Eldeel, she arrives to see him in his final moments alive. When she refuses to leave a dying Eldeel, Adol holds onto her as he and his friends are whisked out of the collapsing city. In town, Leeza resolves to be strong. She then sees Adol off on his return to Esteria, saying goodbye to him as the ship sails. She then has flashbacks to the time she had to the times they had together before he was corrupted.
