Lea is a young girl with short blond hair barely down her jaw. She wears the common church uniform, a nun habit customized for battle. Her veil folds in a way it seems she has cat ears.

As a child, she had long hair that reached a bit below the shoulders. She also wore a black dress, long socks and Mary Jane shoes.

## Personality

Lea is an energetic and playful girl. She has an outwards positive attitude, and she tends to keep her doubts and worries to herself, saying that one must have fun as long as possible, for life as an exorcist is short. She can become serious when it comes to exorcism and demons.

She's had a strong sense of justice since a very young age, admonishing and unforgiving for criminals and the wicked. Due to this strong sense of justice, the burden for giving entrance to Beelzebub into her town is much greater, making her to seek revenge against him.

Due to her traumatic experience with Beelzebub, she's no longer capabale of eating meat. She's now a vegan, but she know it's impossible to live without killing and is proud of parents work as pig farmers.

Alchemy is an arcane science that was brought to earth by the fallen angel Azazel. Leah is not gifted so by balancing the science of alchemy with her faith, she's able to tap into the apex of Heaven's power .

#### Water Manipulation

    Leah is shown to be able to manipulate water, most commonly to turn it into blocks. These blocks can very in size from really big to as small as the size of her hand. They are also quite solid and can be used as footing. They can also be used to trap opponents inside them.

It's also implied that she is able to manipulate any liquid as long as it contains water, as she can also manipulate a person's blood.

#### Channeling

Through her Alchemy Leah can serve as a medium of holy power, as she asked the angels to lend her power. But Leah is not a chosen vessel. As such her body cannot handle the angels power and is in a cycle of regeneration and destruction inside her when she uses their power. The cost for this power is her lifespan and when she uses the angels power a triangle halo appears above her head . Her body can't handle pseudo-angelic power for more than three minutes.

## History

### Eastern Germany, 2011

Leah, 5 years old at the time, was watching the news where a report on abuse and killings of cats was being shown. She mentions that it is unforgivable, but she is ignored by her parents as they were busy taking care of her infant brother and serving food. Feeling ignored, Leah storms out of her home and runs towards a tree where Beelzebub (who she calls mister) has been around for around 2 weeks. When it's time for her to come home she tells him over to her house, which he declines. He explains to her he cannot go east unless he's invited to do so. Thinking nothing off it she invites him over.

As they approach Leah's house Beelzebub uses his gehenna to kill her friends and their families in front of her and turns into his demon form. When Leah asks him what he did, he simply replies that he already told her everything about him. Including his identity as a demon lord. He invites her to have a meal with him and holds her captive family in front of her. Leah begs him not to hurt them, but Beelzebub points out that this situation is her fault. Hans (Leah's father) denies this and tries to tell Leah it's not her fault, but he and his wife are killed by Beelzebub and their corpses are made to dance. 10 days later Beelzebub and Leah are still eating together. While he eats normal food Leah was plated her dead baby brother Leo. She held out from eating him for these past 10 days. Beelzebub encourage her to eat and she finally succumbs to her hunger.

While Beelzebub complements the church for how they handled his guards, Leah looks lifelessly at the corpse of her baby brother. Thinking back when she first met him and the words of her father to look after him. The demon lord tells Leah she has nothing to be ashamed off, as she could not fight her instict. Before he could continue his speech Beelzeub is attacked by Mother Rosa. He stops her attack and they talk until The demon lord noticed Dante rescuing Leah. Mother Rosa wishes both of them happiness in this life and Dante wish all the other exorcist good luck before fleeing with Leah. As they leave Leah weakly reaches out her hand to her dead baby brother. After Beelzebub's defeat Leah joined the church.

### Part 1

At the same time Boy is fighting Mammon, Leah is in Limoges, France. Where she's was fighting demons alongside Barbara and helping Dante finding the whereabouts of the witch Vergilius. Later she and Barbara where seen at the airport heading for Japan.

### Part 2

After helping Dante, Leah and Barbara headed for Japan to supervise Imuri under the cover of becoming her new guard. Once they arrive at the temporary residence of the artist, they explain to her that becoming her guards was Boy's suggestion. Sensing that Imuri was not too excited they decided to go with her plan and have a cargiver showdown at the church's oceanside villa. At the end Imuri will decide who's the better guard. On the way to the villa Boy, Leah and Barbara are informed of a small cruise ship that's sinking. They head out to help when they hear that a large beast was seen swiming under the ship. Arriving at the scene they work together to save all the passengers. Among other things Leah helps out by saving all the people who are drowining in the water. Providing a foothold for her, her teamates and the distressed passengers. After the incident, she says convinces the saved people to not tell anyone about their experience.

Finally arriving at the villa she, Barbara and Imuri take it easy as Boy is the caregiver for the day. They do lot of eating and in the evening they set off fireworks. She takes a bath with Imuri where she tells her the real reason for becoming an exorcist was for revenge. She also shares that Boy said no to take that path and cries when thinking back on that moment. The next day it's her and Barbara's turn to take care of Imuri. They quartet soon take in a little girl, who washed up on the beach. The girls real identity is Leviathan, she tells them a convenient story and omitting any hints about her true identity. As Leviathan is taking outside by Imuri for some fresh air, Leah discusses the girls situation with Boy. The nun finds the story of the little girl fishy and think she might be working with demons. Boy on the other wants to give her the benift of the doubt. Leah reluctantly agrees, but says she will exorcise her without hesistation if the girl turns out to be a demon.

It's decided that Boy, Leah and Barbara will take turns taking care for Imuri and Leviathan. The next day the group decides to hang out together. They play cards, video games, eat and have a fun time altogether. During diner however they are attacked by Leviathan's children who arrive to 'rescue' her. They reveal her true identity and Leah gets confirmation from the church that she's indeed not human. The heartbroken demon lord flees the scene, but is followed by Leah and Barbara.

Out on sea Leviathan cries over what just happened, but is interrupted when Leah and Barbara arrive to fight her. Leah asks if she could beat her, the lord of the sea, would she be strong enough to beat the lord of the flies. While still feeling upset Leviathan creates a tidal wave, wanting to wash it all away. Leah succesfully stops the wave with her miracle, so Leaviathan decides to use physical force. She is however stopped by Barbara who blinds her, giving Leah the chance to use her miracle to manipulate the Leaviathan's blood, tearing her apart from the inside out. After a quick regeneration Leviathan takes on her demonic form and easily overwhelms the two nuns. Deciding to leave she delivers the final blow, but her attack is stopped by Boy who just arrived with Imuri in the nick of time. As Leah and Barbara leave with Imuri, Boy and Leviathan are ready to face off.

The trio make their way to the shore as they watch Boy fight the demon lord. Leah makes a comment that it looks like the end of the world after seeing Leviathans true form. Leah uses her powers to protect the town from the huge waves created by their battle as Barbara makes sure the nearby areas are evacuated. After Imuri and Boy get out of the water she and Barbara standby an unconscious Imuri in case she needed a heart massage. After making sure they are okay Barbara and Leah leave Boy and Imuri to deal with the aftermath. During which they give a report to cardinal Heisenberg about Imuri: they find the artist suspicious.

### Part 3

Leah and Barabara went over to Imuri and Boy to inform the later about the online meeting, on how to handle Beelzebub and the witches. The two nuns walked in on Imuri having a workout session to lose weight. After finding out the reason why Leah scolds Boy and let Barbara give him thorough explanation. Afterwards she thinks to herself that while she might like Imuri, she finds her extremely suspicious. Wondering if the plan with Satan failed or they are still in the palm of his hand.

After informing Boy about the online meeting Leah and Barbara make preparations to take part in said meeting with the top priest in the church. During which she was thinking of her past and accidentally drop the laptop. During the meeting she thanks Daniel for thinking she should be the next grand priest, but tells him he should already know her limits. Knowing full wel she probably won't be around long anymore due to her powers, she whishes everbody luck next year during Walpurgis night and states she will exorcise Beelzebub. After the meeting Barbara, Leah, Boy and Imuri gather in the artist studio. Leah encourages Boy to fight together just before Beelzebub attacks.

Saved by Boy's barrier the quartet doesn't get caught in the demon lords gehenna and after Leah sugestion they decid to head for Tokyo Tower. Along the way the get attack by Golem the nephilim. The two nuns get blown away and Leah can't stop it so they all agree to split up and meet up at the tower. Once they landed they come face to face with guard of hell: Cerberus. Leah and Barbara fight the hellhound and after a failed attempt by Barbara to blind the the third head, Leah starts to summon the power of angels. Barbara protests against it but before Leah could finish, Cerberus suddenly leaves. Deciding the demon lord is more important the two nuns head for tokyo tower.

Leah and Barbara are the first ones to arrive. When Leah calls Beelzebub by his nickname she gave him so many years ago, he does not remember her. Leah attacks him and together with Barbara they are able to back him into a corner. Stealing his heart and immobilizing him, but just as Leah wants to tear the demon lord apart she reaches her time limit. Feeling that his restraints have loosened he reaches for Leah, but captures Barbara instead who pushed Leah out of the way. Beelzebub strikes a deal with Leah: he will spare Barbara's life if she gives him his heart back and tells him where the church is keeping the purified fragment of Asmodeus. Barbara who gets tortured by the demon lord stays strong and tries to pursue Leah not to tell him and get her revenge. Despite the masked nun's efforts Leah can't abandon her friend, so she frees Beelzebub, gives him his heart back and tell him the location of the fragment. While Beelzebub releases Barbara and gloats over his victory he's punched by Boy who just arrived on the scene, alongside Imuri and Golem.

Leah has no more strength, Barbara's injuries are so severe that she cannot move and both nuns are contaminated with black magic. Boy puts a barrier around them, alongside Imuri, to heal and protect them. The young priest notices that he needs more time to heal them. He and the demon lord talk, during which he uses Leah as an argument for his worldview being right. When Beelzebub starts to transform, he brings the group into his own domain: the demon lord's dining table. As the fight between Boy and Beelzebub continue Leah still can't move. All she can does ask Imuri how she was able to tame a Nephilim and being frustrated she can't fight right in this moment.

When Beelzebub becomes part angel, Leah realizes that the demon lord has eaten the purified Asmodeus fragment. When Dante appears on the battlefield he preforms first aid on the two nuns and stops the black magic contamination. Leah can fight again en rejoins the battle. Beelzebub stops his attack on the other two exorcist when he's ripped open by Leah. Noticing his body isn't regenerating properly, she comments that angelic power is too much for a worm like him.

Beelzebub does well holding his own against his three opponents, but when backed into a corner he loses his sight thanks to Barbara. Using this chance Boy cuts off his arm, Dante restrains him and Leah goes in for the final blow. Desperatly the demon lord launches one last attack and was able to hit Leah. She doesn't back down and bites off a piece of the demon lord. As a statisfied Beelzebub falls through the gates of Gehenna he proudly asks Leah what his meat taste like. She shocks him when she spit out the piece she bit off, telling the demon lord he tastes gross. Insulting him for the last time as the gates of Gehenna close shut and collapsing from exhaustion.

A few days after the battle Barbara and Leah are still hospitalized. During which Leah has a dream about all the people from her village that died. As tells them her accomplishments and apologizes, she tries to join them. She stopped by Leo, her younger brother in the age he would be if he was till alive. She apologizes for eating him and he says she has to keep on living. Then Leah wakes up. Leah sit besides Barbara's bed when she wakes up one morning. While Leah apologizes for betraying her and the church, Barbara forgives her. Thanking the other nun as she likely wouldn't be alive if Leah didn't accept the demon lord deal. The two of them continue talking until Boy and Imuri arrive with a fruit basket. The four of them enjoy eating it's content while talking happily.

### Part 4

After Barbara and Leah recover for the most part and are discharged from the Hospital, they are called to come to cardinal Heisenburgs private residence. Inside his greenhouse he welcomes them, expressing his gratitude that they both are okay. Leah explains to him that while she has recovered for the most part, aside from her left eye, she can fiht again. It seems her body couldn't handle pseudo-angelic power for more than three minutes. The cost was her lifespan and she'll won't live a long life. Soon after, Heisenberg explains the current situation of the church. During this explanation the two nuns find out Boy's inhumane upbringing and Leah agrees that he works way too hard. In the end he asks the nuns if they think Imuri is a demon, as she may very well be the trigger that causes boy to apostasy. Even of they have a hunch it's fine, he just wants to hear their opnion. Both Leah and Barbara believe Imuri is a demon, making the decision final: to treat Imuri Atsuki as a demon and to tear her away from Boy before it's too late.

On the last day of the school festival Barbara and Leah arrive at the airport and are headed towards Boy and Imuri. Later they both see a huge flash of light when Boy attacks Asmodeus. Both nuns arrive at the battle scene the same time as Mikhail and Imuri. Leah questions out loud what is going on as the gates of Gehenna are dissapearing. Realizing that the girl Boy is beating up Aria and that he's not in his normal state of mind she and Barbara want to intervene. Before they can Imuri beats them to it and runs to Boy. Wanting to intervene again they are this time stopped by Mikhail. Confused, Leah asks her fellow exorcist why he stops them. Mikhail explains to them that the damage Boy is causing is too little and no one is injured. In other words Boy has not given in to anger. Leah asks if Mikhail evacuated the students because he knew what was going to happen, only to be creeped out by his answer.

A few days later Leah and Barbara watch the temporary residence of Imuri and Boy from their hotel room. Barbara asks Leah if they shouldn't be monitoring them. Leah respones that right now might not be the best time. The nun thinks back about Imuri's actions at the school and realises that situation has become difficult.
