## Biography

1,000 years before the series' events, Leif was the gardener for Newtopia and was best friends with Andrias, heir to Newtopia, and Barrel the Brave. As the gardener, she used to study other dimensional flora and fauna, and even spent a lot of time with the Moss Men. One day, Andrias showed Leif and Barrel the Calamity Box after his father trusted Andrias with the key. But while playing with the Box, Leif accidentally touched the Box's gems, resulting in her receiving visions about the prophecy, Newtopia's pollution and Amphibia's red moon colliding into the planet. Realizing the consequences of the Newtopia Royal Family's invasions, she tried to warn King Aldrich about this, but he refused to believe it

She then tried to convince Andrias to stop this when he becomes king, but he too denied it due to being under his father's pressure. With no other way to prevent the catastrophe from happening, Leif stole the Box while secretly revealing her intentions to Barrel. She managed to escape from Andrias on one of the Moss Men, though she expressed remorse for betraying Andrias, even understanding his current situation.

Soon, after Olms' guidance, she sent the Box to Earth during the Scandinavian Era, which would be pictured on a jar, on which she also left a note to search for Mother Olm, in order to learn about the prophecy: three bright stars will arrive in Amphibia from Earth and obtain the Calamity Powers to extinguish The Core.

After that, she moved into the Frog Valley and changed her name to Lily Plantar, founding the Plantar family. She later founded Wartwood Swamp and became a farmer. At some point, she married an unnamed frog and had some children. During her old age, she also wrote a letter to Andrias, telling him that despite them having to face changes in life, changes are the beauty of life and imploring him to open his heart before her passing. This letter was discovered by her descendant, Sprig, who used it to convince Andrias to stop his invasion, because no matter how much evil he has caused, there's still good in him. This resulted in Andrias willingly surrendering before being badly wounded by Anne and subsequently redeeming himself where after his defeat, Andrias served a life sentence of restoring the landscapes of Amphibia he and the Core destroyed during their dictatorship.

## Trivia

* It was implied that she is a member of the Plantar Family due to her looking like Sprig, because her dance with the Moss Men looks similar to the Plantars' Hunter Dance, and how her fear after learning how dangerous the Calamity Box is just like how Hop Pop predicted and is aware of.
	+ The theory is seemingly confirmed in "Newts in Tights" when Anne, Sasha, Sprig and Hop Pop found a room in Plantar archives, which has multiple "L", little Moss Man statue, and it can be accessed by Plantars' book with Calamity Box description.
	+ This was officially confirmed in "All In", where it is revealed that she is the founding member of Plantar family, having changed her name to Lily Plantar to hide from Aldrich's forces in Wartwood.
