## Appearance

Leila is a tall and slender girl with peach skin, dark red hair that is tied up to a side ponytail and bangs that are sided to the right with a lock of hair hanging on her forehead, sharp gold eyes with dark-colored pupils, and an expression that seems stoic. She has two black cat ears and a cat tail, which is an uncommon trait of Majuunekos. She wears a white top underneath a red short jacket with pockets and three-quarter length sleeves that ends in white cuffs. She also wears a pair of trousers that could be interpreted as denim jeans, white socks that are seen to cover the part of the legs that are left bare, and dark red sneakers.

As Magician Rubino, her hair grows longer and is tied into twintails, and she wears a copper-colored trident-like headpiece on her forehead, and a similarly-colored star-shaped hair accessory with a wing to the right of it. She wears an undershirt with a red collar that have white lines run along the border under a brighter red and black jumper skirt that shares its design with the jumper skirt that most members of the Mistresses of Magick wear, but with an argyle pattern. Underneath it also a dress that is similar in color to the jacket that Leila wears as a civilian, which doubles as an overskirt. Underneath the "overskirt-dress" is a darker red A-line skirt that almost reach the knees. Her outfit's "sleeves" are two golden braces with a red jewel or stone in the center. She also wears two calf-length socks with different colors: The left one is dark red while the right one is a brighter shade of red than the left one. She also wears a pair of gold-colored low-heeled sandals that reaches her ankles. She also wears two braces that resembles *cestus*, a kind of ancient Greek battle glove. Like the rest of the Mistresses of Magick, on her chest is a dark red ribbon with the Mistresses' insignia, the Delphic Glyph, in the center.

## Personality

She is a hot-headed delinquent girl who is passionate about anything she does, or at least what she is having interest in. She acts rashly and is steadfast in her beliefs. According to Kara, she has misbehaved many times even when she is on her duty, including acting rudely and even physical violence, such as "try to gouge out [one's] eye when they offend her". Despite being delinquent and has many actions that implied that she wants to have a duel with someone, she will lose her eagerness to fight soon thereafter because the values of pacifism that King Erik taught her.

She also have a rough, masculine way of speaking. She uses "boku" (僕) to refer to herself, but she uses the informal pronoun "omē" (オメー) to refer to others, which might imply that she has contempt towards others.

As Magician Rubino, she is eager to defeat any enemy using her spear-shaped projectiles made from fire energy that she dubbed "Fire Lances", but she still observe the enemy and then use the best strategy that she've planned while observing, unlike the others, who thought up strategies at random.

She is very athletic and is the captain of the Academy's track-and-field team, and she is also very skilled in throwing javelins, battle using spears, and also is skilled in playing the piano, and many times she is seen playing the *Moonlight Sonata* on her piano, or any piano that she found.

Her courage and stamina make her always being the winner in many races, despite that the race is so difficult that most of its competitors cannot finish the race first. As stated by Moe Wakaki, she is admired by the sophomores of the Dream Stars Academy for her heroism and physical strength.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Strength:** She is shown to possess powerful physical strength, as she is able to lift her heavy backpack, stockpiled with many items that she used to advance in Pokémon battles, which is said by Kara and Jane as "*as heavy as a monster truck*", or launching spears at a high speed, which requires strong force to do so.
* **Pyrokinesis:** As Magician Rubino, she possesses the power to manipulate fire and heat, which allows her to turn fire energy to somewhat solid spear-like projectiles that she called "Fire Lances", creating fireball-like projectiles, creating rings of fire that she uses to attack, and cover an area with fire. However, her pyrokinesis powers are considerably weaker than Kara's, which can only able to increase the temperature of the air around her and ignite it, as well as shaping flames to just a certain extent.
* **Superhuman speed:** As Magician Rubino, she possesses the ability to run at superhuman speeds, which she uses when dodging enemy attacks.
* **Immortality:** Similar to all members of the Mistresses of Magick, she possesses immortality and eternal youth, as the result of exposure to a Pentagram Stone.

## Relationships

* **Kara:** She is Kara's bodyguard, and her mission is to protect Kara from any harm by the order of King Erik of Obakeneko. She is caring toward her younger half-sister, despite sibling squabbles surrounding many of their problems, including the derogatory nickname Kara gave to her, BGcchi.
* **Jane:** Her friend and rival who she has a friendly rivalry with.
* **Moe Wakaki:** Her most staunch follower, who looks up at her as a role model, despite her delinquency at school.

* Leila's gold-colored eye with a dark-colored pupil might alludes to Undyne's eye: having a similar golden-yellow sclera and black pupils.
* Both use spears as weapons.
* Both do not "downed" when their health reaches zero; instead, they smile with a toothy grin and taunt the enemy, then go back to battle as if they are still in full health.
* Both are high-ranking members of the Royal Guard of their respective kingdoms.
* Both have similar personalities.

It is revealed that she suffers from ichthyophobia (i.e. fear of fish).

* This is an ironic reference to a common stereotype of cats preying on fish, and her allusion to Undyne from *Undertale* also is an ironic mock to this stereotype, since Leila is a cat-based humanoid, and Undyne is a fish-based humanoid.
* Since her physical appearance's color scheme matches with that of Undyne's, this is also a sarcastic mock to the fact that her eyes are golden-yellow in color (yellow is a color that represents cowardice), and thus alludes to the phrase "scaredy-cat" (which also means a cowardly person). Also, this also mocks the fact that despite cats (the creatures that Leila is based on) are stereotypically scared of water, which is the habitat of fishes (the creatures that Undyne is based on), in fact, she possesses the same sense of bravery and heroism as Undyne.

* Both of their names are misdubbed by their party members at different points in their respective series.
	+ Her derogatory nickname "BGcchi" could be the first instance of this, as some cannot get her name right, so they called her by that name.
	+ She is misdubbed as Shiira or Shiiu by Astrid Bennett. This is possibly due to the kana for her name, which contains the kana "ra" and "re", are visually similar to the hiragana "u" and "shi" respectively.
