## Personality

Lioness enjoys challenges and is very courageous, even though she has two fears - Paine's power and speaking in front of big crowds. Also, her deepest fear is getting fat. Since she grew up with four brothers she is a tomboy and knows how the men thinks. She despises anything too girly and she has only been seen wearing a dress twice.

She is very active and takes part in the team's immature activities. She cares a lot about her teammates, especially Axel Manning, and tries to cheer them up whenever something troubles them. From the very beginning Lioness and Axel shared a deep relationship, trusting one another completely. She is his flawed moral compass and he will always listen to her, even though it sometimes seems like he does not listen, he takes her words into consideration. She is most likely in love with him, because she acts jealous when Axel is being flirted with Magness and his childhood friend Madison.

Lioness and King have a sibling relationship. They take care of each other like a brother and a sister. She and Shark get along very well and in the beginning it seems like Shark has a crush on her. However, it becomes obvious that Shark is not really interested in her in that way. They end up having a good pal relationship. Hawk is the one who is most likely to irritate her by just being himself. They are very different, since Hawk is very arrogant and occupied with his outer appearance, while Lioness is completely not. They have some sort of hate-love relationship because whenever he feels down she tries to cheer him up or encourage him, even though she knows how annoying he can be.

She is very angry with her father, Rico Leone, for leaving the family because of his work. In the second season, he shows up and tries to make it up to her. She declines him, but after Axel talks to her about his own father and that he has no chance of seeing him again, she begins to soften up to the idea. In the end she and her dad reconcile.
