## Story

### History

Leona has all the sparkle it takes to become a top Wish-Granter! Since her first glow, however, all she's wanted to be is a star glittering world-famous pop star!

Attending Starling Academy was Leona's way of breaking away from her existence in the lifeless town of Flairfield. Her family thinks it's excellent that Leona has ambition, but they don't get the whole "I have to be in the spotlight" thing. Instead, Leona's parents want her to work as a bookkeeper in her dad's shoe repair shop. Nevertheless, Leona has her head in the stars, and there's no way she'll let that happen. Leona doesn't just stand out in a crowd; she consumes it! Leona also can't stand being cold. She loves to lie out in the sun in the Time of Lumiere.

Leona has one sister and two brothers. There's Felix, who received a promotion to assistant manager of the family's shoe shop (Leona won't tell him that his boss is their father), Garfield, who claims he has a girlfriend, and Jada, who secretly admires Leona. Because of Leona's confidence, singing voice and her dream to be a pop star, Jada wants to be just like her!

## Appearance

Leona has a halo of golden curls around her face and golden eyes. Her fashion usually consists of something vibrant and full of colour. Her style's bright, bold, and noticeable, giving her a "Look at me and WATCH ME SHINE!" look. Her clothes consist of an off-the-shoulder golden sweater, yellow sweatpants with glowing white stars and a pair of boots to finish the look. Like all starlings, she has sparkly skin and a dark tannish complexion. Her Wish Pendant is a gold cuff with a bold metallic gold star that sizzles with wish energy. On Wishworld, the bracelet helps Leona find her Wisher. After her own Wish Mission, Leona's cuff became gnarled and as black as soot. By the end of *Gemma and the Ultimate Standoff*, her cuff has been restored.

On Wishworld, Leona's golden hair and eyes becomes brown with just a few curls of colour for her hair and her skin loses its sparkle. Her outfit consists of a sheer short-sleeved golden t-shirt, a dark grey pair of jeans, orange socks and light yellow sneakers to complete her look.

## Personality

Leona is confident, optimistic and ambitious and has always dreamed of singing under the spotlight! Leona is a powerhouse; she has a beautiful voice and wants to be a famous pop star. Due to her parents wanting her to work as a bookkeeper in her dad's shoe repair shop, escaping to Starling Academy was her chance to pursue her dream. Leona doesn't just stand out in a crowd; she consumes it!

Due to all her glimmering self-confidence, Leona sometimes forgets that it isn't always about her. She is vain and egoistical, often centering herself as the main attraction. She is also arrogant and dramatic and often puts others down due to being bossy and stubborn. Just like Sage, she is also prone to losing her temper.

## Leona's Room

Leona's space is dazzling. The gold colors twinkle and shine almost as much as Leona does! The bed's starlight curtain and ball light keep her bathed in brightness.

She has her own stage, too―a mini star-shaped platform that rises up from the floor when she wants to rehearse or perform for her friends. Leona's holo-wall includes a premium sound system and different holographic audience settings. She can switch among a small café audience, students cheering at the band shell, and a megawatt stadium crowd!

## Powers and Abilities

### Starling Physiology

Being a Starling, Leona possesses all of the natural traits that the species has.

* **Wish Energy Manipulation** - Leona harnesses positive wish energy for most of her abilities.
* **Energy Blasts** - As displayed in *The Power of Twelve*, wish energy can be used to fire streams, bursts, orbs, and waves of offensive power against opponents.
* **Force Fields** - Demonstrated in the above special, Libby can conjure shields as defense.
* **Extended Lifespan** - In *Scarlet Discovers True Strength*, it’s confirmed that Starlings can live for thousands of years, as Mira’s grandmother is over thousands of years old. Before that, in *Leona's Unlucky Mission* it was hinted that a few decades wasn’t too long in comparison to Starling lifespans. However, they do not have eternal youth, as Professor Elara Ursa is stated to be among one of the oldest wish granters and has clearly aged in a similar manner to a wishling elder.
* **Disease Immunity** - In *Scarlet Discovers True Strength*, it states that the wish energy surrounding Starlings keeps them from contracting illnesses.
* **Superhuman Knowledge** - In *Leona's Unlucky Mission*, Starlings are shown to be nigh-perfect at mathematics from birth. *Astra's Mixed-Up Mission* also implies that Starlings are the same way towards towards literature and similar subjects such as language and grammar.
* **"Manipulate" People** - In *Just Dancing*, Libby and Leona use their wish energy to move Vega's body so that can show Vega how to dance.
* **Star catching** - In *Shoot for the Stars*, Leona challenges Sage to catch as many stars as they can.
* **Painting with Wish Energy** - In *Paint By Numbers*, Lady Stella assigns Vega and Leona to paint how they feel after looking at 4 objects presented at them.
* **Positive Singing Power** - With the power of her voice, Leona can turn any negative actions into positive ones.

### **Wish Mission Signature Powers**

The Star Darlings each gain a power that is meant to assist with carrying out their wish missions. It is unknown if this is exclusive to them, or if they only work on Wishworld, as Adora uses hers to heal Vega in the The Power of Twelve.

* **Super Hearing** - In *Leona's Unlucky Mission*, Leona discovers that she has super hearing after hearing her wisher sing in the shower.
