"*Just like I thought. Even a dreamwalker like you can't handle it.*"
―Liandra
**Liandra** is one of the seven dreamwalkers of the Keeper and the central main character of *DREAMophrenia*. She first appeared in the episode "Welcome to Dreamland".
She's a beginner at dreamwalking, who discovered this gift just a few months before the events of the first season, and, due to inexperience is not able to single-handedly cope with many dangers lurking along the way. However, Liandra doesn't give up, trying to take obstacles if not with power, then with vit, which attracts the attention of the rest of the characters.
Liandra spends most of her time in Dreamland, chatting and drinking tea at the lodge, so the cunning Keeper decides to team her up with Lu - an experienced dreamwalker, who is not only much older than her, but also has an unbearable character. Such news plunged the new girl into utter shock. So the red-haired girl began to work with Lu, enduring the mockery for the sake of the high goal - to become a better dreamwalker and save Dreamland from the invasion of nightmares.
In the real world, she's just an ordinary girl, who studies at an art institute. She lives with her parents, with whom she rarely sees, since they spend all their time at work. Her father works as a doctor and her mother in a charity, so Liandra spends most of her time on her own. At home, she's not very active within the household, preferring to spend her time dreamwalking, on hobbies or with her favorite cat, Mochi. She finds her real life grey and dull, so she tries to go back to lucid dream as soon as possible.

Physical Appearance
Liandra is a stocky girl of medium height, with rather expressive hips. She has long, bright red hair, which she almost always ties into a braid with a pink hair tie, leaving only a loose bank, that always falls into her eyes, which are of the pale blue color, round face and a button nose.

   In the world of Dreams, she wears a light purple pullover with a symbol of a yellow crescent on her chest, which she considers her personal symbol. She wears simple blue jeans, pink sneakers, and her neck is adorned with a turquoise scarf, that hangs down to the floor. She wears a pair of turquoise modernized gloves for drawing on a graphic tablet, in which she constantly falls asleep at home, so this element of clothing slightly entered her image. In addition, she also has a thin pink ribbon tied around her right shoulder. The girl also wears light turquoise striped socks, which are barely visible.
In the real world, the girl combines different clothing options, but often wears a shortened version of the turquoise scarf and denim overalls, with different T-shirts, skirts and dresses. A frequent accessory are large black headphones that help the student not to be distracted from her thoughts and dreams by the boring events of real life.
At the Scarlet ball, Liandra has her hair tied into two braids that reaches below her shoulders with one bang swiped to the left side of the face, and is dressed in a Victorian pink dress with deep neckline and puffed sleeves. The skirt consists of five layers of petticoats, each in a different color from top to bottom: Lavender, pink, yellow, white and again lavender. She has a pair of pink shoulder length gloves, lady jane shoes of the same color and a few trinkets. Lavender collar with a moon necklace adorns her neck, golden earrings, pink flower hair clip and she covers her face with a rabbit mask of a lighter tone. It's also important to note that a giant pink ribbon is tied on the back of the dress.

Personality
Liandra is a typical phlegmatic and a homebody. She expresses herself with more or less constant mood, and a weak external expressions of mental states. She's also quite shy, and therefore is not fond of someone ruining her personal space. Liandra is not much interested in the real world and often hovers in the clouds.
Immediately noticeable is the inhibition and slowness of Liandra in the face of new situations. Due to her phlegmatic, thoughtful nature, she "hangs" for a long time, finding herself in unexpected circumstances and, therefore has trouble studying. But having gotten a little accustomed to it, she began to think quickly and try to participate in events. She often overestimates her strength too much and ends up exposed to a strong opponent, so Lu almost constantly has to pull out her bad partner from the clutches of death.
All because diligence is the girl's second main trait. If she takes on something, she will try to get to the finals with her stubbornness of a cast-iron steam engine.
Liandra is characterised by kindness and desire to help people around, which, along with the pressure of the Keeper are excellent inclinations for the career of a dreamwalker, ready to help out those in trouble without a single hesitation. However Liandra's ambitions go still far beyond her abilities, so she always gets into trouble. Despite her softness and defencelessness, the girl surprisingly endures all humiliations from Lu, trying to prove to her that she's also worth something.
Liandra loves anime and everything cute. She has a bunch of keychains on her phone, which consists of a crab (probably a reference to Liandra's zodiac sign being cancer), pink heart and presumably of a blue letter V or G. On top of that, she has a screensaver with a grey teddy bear with a red heart plush toy and the phone is decorated with colorful stickers, such as hearts, animals and a slice of pizza. At home, her walls are decorated with pictures of anime girls and she owns a whole deposit of all kinds of toys and plushies, and has some romantic manga and pink Japanese maneki neko (lucky cat) on her night stand. She even found the Zoogs from the seventh episode of season 1 "Moon Tree Ritual" cute, despite the fact they tied her to a tree and were going to cook her.
It was also revealed in her Q&A video that she enjoys sad stories, just as reading romance novels and manga. Among her hobbies such as weaving baubles, the girl loves drawing, as Li is actively working on her own manga in her free time. The story is about an artist, who was betrayed by one of her best friends. Later the friend realises her fault and decides to make up, only to find out that the artist has disappeared forever.

Relationships
**Lu**: Liandra finds her a very rude and unpleasant person, who constantly keeps mocking her for her inability. Li, who had never met her own kind before, at first even took her for a nightmare. The pranks of the dreamwalker frighten her. But despite everything, Liandra hopes that there is some good deep inside of her, even though Lu constantly tries to prove her wrong. She even promised to make Lu a post card, which the dreamwalker declined in a rude way. She admires Lu's freedom and power.
**Keeper**: Liandra treats the Keeper with great respect, which is due to the fact that he acts for her something like a mentor, guiding her to become stronger. At the same time, she also has doubts about the Keeper's decision to make her and Lu a team, since they don't get along well with each other.
**Mr. R**: No information available for now.
**Mochi**: Liandra wholeheartedly loves her cat. She sort of acts as a companion to Liandra, so she doesn't have to feel so alone at home.
**Felicia**: No information available for now.
**Marie**: Liandra tries to reason with Marie but she considers any friend of Felicia her enemy.

Abilities
So far, Liandra doesn't have any outstanding skills. All she can do is occasionally hover briefly a few feet above the ground and move small    objects with telekinesis. Instead she relies on her brain. From the ninth episode she hazardly and with pleasure learned to manipulate Lu's pride and rage to force her into doing something she wants.
She's able to adjust her body temperature in cold environments and grow her scarf when falling asleep, just does it unconsciously so far. During her visit at the Crimson Rock Castle, Lu taught her how to communicate telepathically with her partner. The color of her abilities is pearly white.
In her dreams shown at the beginning of the first episode of the series, Li presents herself as a sorceress soaring in the sky with her eyes and hair glowing with moonlight.

Weapon
Her weapon of choice is a staff with a symbol of the yellow crescent on top, which Liandra haven't materialized yet. She almost managed to succeed at it in the ninth episode "The Rats in the Walls", but it appears her will isn't strong enough yet to do so.
