## Personality

Leona had a quiet and docile demeanor, and she was frequently observed doing as she was instructed. Her "father" was known to have a really excellent relationship with her. While she was often quiet, she proved that when she was around Dazai and Chūya, she becomes more outspoken and sharp-tongued. She was also shown to be calm and in control of her emotions. Despite her placid exterior, Leona demonstrated during her battle that she had a harsh side and a horrible tendency of stretching out fights in order to toy with her victims. She was a calm, apathetic, and cynical individual. Along with her quiet personality, Leona appears to always "conserve energy" and only puts forth effort when absolutely required, giving her the impression of being lethargic.

Leona also didn't talk much because of her attitude, and she rarely gets upset, though she does appear to be irritated frequently. Leona was a person who rarely expresses her feelings. Ironically, her efforts to prevent squandering her energy result in her waste it even more. Though Leona appears to be self-assured, she had a propensity of doubting her own skills and abilities when she feels inadequate. Despite this, Leona had an inner strength and resolve, as evidenced by her affirmation to herself that she was used to suffering pain and hardship, despite her vast inferiority to other high-ranking Port Mafia members.

Despite her harsh demeanor, she had a warm spot for Elise and Kyōka. She adored Elise and cherished her as if she were her own sister, frequently played with her and had tea parties with her. She also tried to be upbeat when she first met Atsushi, cracking jokes about a variety of topics, most of which Atsushi didn't understand. She adored playing the piano and performs The Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67 for Kōyō on a regular basis. According to Mori, she also had a sweet tooth.

## Ability

Leona's ability, Forest's Soul (夜叉森林, *Yasha Shinrin*?) allows her to materialize a female sword-wielding dryad, more known as "Asiza". It was the same type of ability as Kyōka's. It can be controlled by her in her own will, but others can activate her ability using a certain phone number.

When the "verse" was said, Asiza becomes ecstatic and causes the plants and trees in their immediate vicinity (about 30-50 meters) to grow and attack the prey. Leona labels her a "disgrace" to her and a "humiliation" to the Port Mafia because of its ability to manipulate greenery. Despite her manner toward Asiza, it remains devoted to her  Ability User.

As a flower sleeps with the moon,Can thou, "Asiza," flaunt your opulence?

## Skills

* **Sword Play**: Leona was skilled with a sword.
* **Master of Stealth:** Leona was very proficient in hiding, spying, and infiltration. Even her footsteps could be hardly heard when running.
* **Master Thrower:** Leona could throw multiple knives at once or in quick succession with great accuracy.

## Background

Leona was abandoned in the middle of the Great War by her parents when she was young (precisely two years-old), considering her ability as a threat. She was found crying in a pit by Yosano. Leona was said to be brought to Mori and was admired by the soldiers in the Great War. After finding out that Leona was an ability-wielder, Mori took care of her and claimed her as "his own" child. Yosano promised to take care of her until she grows into a fine woman, a promise Yosano couldn't attain and only realized it in the Post-Great War. Since then, Yosano made sure to not make a promise to her.

## Quotes

* (to Yosano Akiko) "*I'm aware that you swore to yourself that you'd never guarantee me anything ever again. But please... Do your best to maintain Kyōka unharmed. Protect Kyōka and never let her descend into the abyss of darkness evermore.*"
* (to Lycoris Mortelle)
