General
Leanne Delphium, born 25th Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon, is a seeker raised deeply within the roots of Gridania. Adventurous and free spirited, she was one to go against the current of her home's idyllic, sheltered culture, for her soul burned with bright passion for freedom and adventure, tales from passing adventurers and epic stories written in books helping little to quench her thirst for the world and its apparent wonders. Although initially against such drive, her parents eventually gave in to their daughter's unbridled wishes, and by the age of seventeen, Leanne left the relative safety of her home, eagerly taking on the life of adventuring and traveling she so much desired. Throughout the road, she made a lot of friends and a couple of enemies, witnessed vistas and events few could dream, went from a mere archer from the forest to a somewhat famous Bard, and learned a lot of things. Now nineteen, and made wiser by the two strict years of adventuring, Leanne continues her journey through the realm, step by step, still dreaming about the wonders of the world, and still seeking her ultimate wish: To explore the entirety of Hydaelyn.

Personality
Very cheerful with a tendency to be sweet, Leanne is very quick to trust and even quicker to befriend, willingly partaking in several, different culture and customs while being at the same time happy to share knowledge of her own. Her adventures throughout Eorzea and beyond gave her knowledge and memories she fondly carries to this day, granting broad knowledge of several subjects while also making her wise beyond her years. Occasionally she passes off as a naive girl, despite the fact that she can be very sharp. Least but no less important, the girl can be very mischievous, not being over pulling pranks and jokes, although not liking it when on the receiving end of one.
Appearance
A strikingly beautiful young woman, Leanne's owner of bright golden eyes, cheerful and sweet features, and least but no less important a curvaceous figure, attributes she at times accentuate or not by innocent gestures or use of her different outfits. Being of slightly short height, she usually does not bother with such detail, until it becomes frustratingly apparent to her when besides one too many elezen or roegadyn, or pointed out to her. Her style of clothes once consisted of the easy and practical, but as time went by, she began to gravitate towards more elaborate and unique garbs, overall attaining a rather diverse wardrobe. The most remarkable trait of her appearance though is the constant presence of a hat adorning her head. Such is one of the major attributes of Leanne, made obvious by her title and by the fact that most of her friends cannot help but raise a brow if they see the seeker without a headwear.
Combat
As children, Leanne's constant sneaking into Quivers and Wailers' camps, and her mom former status as a respectable Quiver landed her into the status of "mascot" between some of the forest protectors, giving her access to a variety of weapons and a bit of combat experience from an early age. With her occasional sojourns into the woods, and eventual adventures throughout Eorzea, Leanne grew into a competent, highly adaptive combatant, whose objective isn't to kill(although she will do it if necessary), but to incapacitate. A lesson she learned as an archer, taken to heart by her mischievous side is to be highly opportunistic. Every advantage counts in bringing a clash to a swift end, cheap as they may be.
Leanne's true call is with a ranged weapon. Not only a bow, but any ranged weaponry. Guns, cannons, throwing knives or a measly pebble. Leanne is a highly skilled sharpshooter, skill exacerbated by her vibrant golden eyes. The vision they have borders on uncanny, and consequently, so does her marksmanship. |
Although not as developed as her sharpshooting, Leanne is still to be feared within close quarters, having adapted to use of her bow to those in close proximity, while also gaining insightful knowledge of pugilism and use of daggers. Leanne has a lot of leg strength, enough to break a training dummy in half(which she did during a brief burst of anger) and mimicking a few moves witnessed, her skill on pugilism borders between intermediate and advanced. Least but no less important, marrying her knife throwing skills with her proficiency with daggers leaves her a force to be wary of. |
Her weakness as well as her strength. Not giving the time necessary to learn, Leanne has only a basic understanding of the schools of magic, bordering between useful and passable. Things like using thaumaturgy to light a little fire, or conjury to soothe body pains and little wounds. Her knowledge is growing, but very sporadically. This glaring fact thought is a disservice to the specialized magic Leanne employs. Deemed worthy of being turned into a Bard, hers is the power to influence others, imbuing her songs and words with power and aether, not unlike a siren, although with more benevolent purposes. |
Miscellaneous Skills
Life in the road does not only mean combat. One must be able to be independent, feed themselves, keep their equipment in check, able to make money, alongside several other challenges. To survive this long, Leanne had to learn and to adapt, and as such, she developed several skills to help her with her journey, and consequently, day-to-day life.
Although not able to weave clothes, produce a remarkable piece of leather or craft a bow, she learned to repair all of her equipment to the best of her skills. Leanne is not a master, but she manages to keep her equipment running at good condition, and is humble enough to know she will be always better off by letting someone more skilled have a look at her stuff. |
Her cooking skills are unremarkable at best. Once more survival being placed as priority, her food is not delicious, but is not bad either. It is just edible and nutritious, which is all Leanne asks while on the road. |
Owner of a beautiful voice and several instruments, Leanne strives to cheer, enchant and conquer the hearts of all who hear her melodies. Although overly humble about her skills, considering herself a fledgling in comparison to her peers, Leanne is showered with compliments and flattery whenever she puts her skills to use, bringing the girl a big feeling of joy and accomplishment. |
A skill taken to its ultimate, most comedic limit. Once a humble fisher of small wavekin, everything changed when (the Fire Nation attacked) a friend of hers regaled the seeker with tales of fishing sharks, and selling them for money. Feeling strangely inadequate, and taking his tales as a challenge, Leanne began a rigorous, arduous training in fishing. By the end of it all, Leanne had won the capacity to fish creatures that could be confounded with a man's most feverish nightmares. |
