Her main outfit consists of an all black professional attire, ranging from a tight black suit, a matching tie with a red brooch, trousers, a brown undershirt, shoes, and a pair of tight black gloves on both hands.

## Personality

Although, from appearance alone, she is noted as being a person who could get things done. Leia, is, in fact, a rather nonchalant and casual woman, who often does things are her own pace and does whatever she wants most of the time. She has an interest in talented swordsmen, most notable, the first time she met Allen and Rose at the Sword Festival, wanted the two of them to enter the Thousand Sword Academy.

Leia is later shown to be a rather cunning woman and trickster, most often than not getting her students to fight each other as a means of testing their individual skills; as shown shown when she tricked Allen and Ria to fight, after getting him to see her changing.

However, despite being the President, she is terrible at doing actual work and things that requires her to be subtle, leaving all paperwork to No.18, while she reads magazines or manga. Another time was shown as she was attempting to convince the Presidents from the other schools to keep Allen from being suspended, resulting in her acting both rashly and violently.

In spite of being terrible at working as a President, Leia, cares a great deal about all her students, threatening to "teach" No.18 a lesson if he peeped on either Rose or Ria.

## Background

She attended the Thousand Blade Academy, where Leia earned her reputation for using her **No Sword Style**. At some point, a Scarlet Rain, a criminal group injured a swordsman, who was her friend, causing her to ignore all the orders given and attacked their headquarters alone, defeating them in a single night.
