Leona

> "Mamá es una idiota." - Leona, rather often.

Leona is a twenty-three year old and the older half sister of Esmeralda and Zera's first daughter.

She's in love with Rick but is too shy to admit this. Rick, if interested, is capable of pursuing a relationship with her.

There's a running gag during her dates with Rick in which she tries to admit she's in love with him, but always fails due to being interrupted.

Leona is always a Magician type and can use four of the Major elements, making her the only person to be able to do so.

Originally, she's not very friendly with Carla but the two of them grow to be friends later.

## Before the Fall

Leona is the first daughter of Zera and an unknown man. It's implied that her father wasn't around much for Leona's upbringing, to the point that when asked about him, Zera merely remarks that he was a man that ended up being someone Zera thought he wasn't. She originally lived in Spain but at the age of four, she moved to Sweden together with her mother and her new little sister, Esmeralda.

Leona, from a young age, realised that Zera seemed to hate Esmeralda and took it on herself to protect her little sister. The two of them grew up closely together, though Esmeralda grew somewhat distant towards Leona after the move, stating she wanted to try to spread her wings a little. Leona approved of this but still stayed close with her sister.

Rick and Leona attended the same school for two years, while Rick was in seventh and eighth grade and Leona was in eighth and ninth grade.

Leona transferred to that school in the middle of the school year and several rumors started spreading about her, partially due to her hispanic heritage and partially because of her rather cold and aloof personality, implying she had done some shady business in the past.

One day, while Rick was sitting with Cassandra and having lunch, Cassandra asked Rick if he had heard about the rumors about Leona. Rick admitted to having heard about them but stated that he didn't care about them - he wasn't very interested in Leona to begin with and also, why the hell would people spread rumors about a new person in school to begin with?

Leona overheard this but walked past them without seemingly saying anything, though Rick swears he could hear her say "Thank you," something she vehemently denies.

On the day of the fall, Leona was minding her own business - she was out shopping together with a friend of hers when they heard an alarm. Looking around, they saw a strange gargoyle-like monster fly towards them and put its claws into Leona's friend, carrying him off. Leona tried to follow it but quickly lost sight. Realising she had no idea where she was anymore, she tried to backtrack but was ambushed by four more monsters, all seemingly different elements.

Whether it was pure luck or an innate ability, she's still not sure, but she managed to use magic to kill all four enemies and hurried home, only to find it trashed but no sign of her mother or sister. With communcations cut out, Leona panicked but soon managed to track them both down. The three of them found out all of them were magicians and stuck together.

After some time, they reached the settlement and decided to stay there, trying to think of their next move.

Three days prior to Rick reaching the settlement, the original founder died and a vote was held instantly. Zera won by majority and was elected the new leader, causing further strain on the already fairly strained relationship between Zera and Esmeralda, who believes that being a ruler is a thing of the past though Zera relished at the thought of being a leader.
