[edit] Character Relationships Rumors Art and Screenshots Extras  Leanne Delphium Gender Female Race Miqo'te Clan Seeker of the Sun Citizenship Gridanian Age 19 Guardian Deity Oschon, The Wanderer Marital Status Single Occupation Adventurer Nicknames Lea Hat Lady Leelee Leanne of the Fancy Hat Ms. Hat Relatives C'kahn Delphium (Father) C'thara Delphium (Mother) Elliot Delphium (Brother) General Leanne Delphium (25th Sun 6th Umbral Moon) is a city born miqo'te whose birthplace is Gridania. An adventurous, ever free spirited girl, the seeker was one to go against the current of Gridania's peaceful culture, for her soul burned with dreams and wishes of traveling. By the age of 17, the brave and courageous miqo'te said goodbye to her parents and the relative safety of her home to start the life of adventure she so much sought after. Now she is 19, and wiser than ever before, for the 2 years of adventuring were a strict, stern but efficient teacher. "Forever walking forward, to the ever distant horizon." - Leanne Delphium Appearance A strikingly beautiful young woman, Leanne's owner of bright golden eyes and cheerful, sweet features, but is also slightly shorter than most individuals, a difference that becomes frustratingly apparent to her when besides one too many elezen or roegadyn. 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. The most remarkable trait of her appearance is the constant presence of a hat adorning her head. Such is one of the major attributes of Leanne, to the point most of her friends cannot help but raise a brow if they see the seeker without a headwear. Behavior 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 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. Combat General/Physical While a children, her "mascot" status between some of the Quivers and Wailers gave her access to a variety of weapons, but her true call is within a bow. Showing remarkable marksmanship with the weapon, her strength extends to any assortment of ranged weaponry, from guns to throwing knives, anything that is viable as a projectile. She also has an insightful knowledge of pugilism and an acute prowess with daggers, although not as impressive as her sharpshooting. Magic Being a Bard, her use of aether ranges from basic (regular weak spells) to heavily specialized (manipulation of the aether and one’s emotions with songs and melodies).

C'thara Delphium: Once a huntress from the Coeurl Tribe, now a sweet mother who tends for her children. Being similar to her daughter in more ways than just appearance, Thara’s her major source of counseling, helping Leanne with anything, be from physical wounds to internal struggles. Initially against having Leanne traveling, she fills herself with proud at each achievement she hears from her seeker. C'kahn Delphium: Former tia of the Coeurl Tribe, nowadays carpenter and leatherworker in Gridania. A kind soul thought by everyone to be weak and frail, belying his sense of duty and unbreakable determination. Kahn leaves Leanne's mentoring mostly to C'thara, but is not shy from helping his daughter whenever the need arises. The more doting parent, he was the one who gave to Leanne her chocobo and her journal. Elliot Delphium: Leanne's younger brother, a very mischievous and carefree kid, who sees Leanne as an icon to follow and idolize. Currently practicing spear fighting, he aims to reach Leanne and someday surpass her. Kyrin: Leanne's loyal dog, also known as the Little Bandit. Fearless and always happy, he is a constant source of happiness and trouble for Leanne, his love for bones surpassing the common knowledge that you do not try stealing them from crypts and reanimated skeletons. Despite such, he is the de-facto "leader" from the "posse" of pets that Leanne have. Acquaintances Rumours (Feel free to add rumours!) "Nice, friendly, accepting. These are the words I'd use to describe the best hat-wearer I know." - Franz Renatus "Leanne? She's a friend of mine! And so much fuuuun! She's also got the best hat in all Eorzea!" - Aya Foxheart "That female is kind but is uncomfortable with the idea of cutting off limbs to give as tokens of affection. She is curious." - Atrium Crow "Adventurous, but perhaps too impulsive. I pray she stops to think before getting herself into more trouble." - Coatleque Crofte "Lady Leanne listens to her heart and it is quite beautiful. Is a rare gift to have." - Jancis Milburga "Leanne's a bit headstrong, but it's a good thing she's got so many people around her to help take care of her, myself included." - Ha'uruh Nunh "Leanne's beautiful enough, but she needs to decide what she wants from people. I just can't figure that woman out." - Evangeline Primrose "Leanne is friend enough with the moogles that she convinced them to appear and perform at Thaliak's pilgrimage. It was truly a sight and sound to behold!" - Ojune Wajune "I am grateful it were by Leanne's hand that my reign ended. To harm a young lass so full of life would've hurt even my iron heart." - Sounsyy Mirke "Ah! Ms. Hat! She's... like a sister ta me, y'know? I know I gots one already, but she's like... 'nuther one. Anyroad, I'm glad she's all happy again 'n hope she stays that way forever 'n ever!" - Chachanji Gegenji "Miss Leanne..now there's someone who has absolutely no shortage of life in her. Though I guess I met her when she bought me, a real...no she'd kill me if I said what I was about to say, she seemed determined to keep that side of her a secret. Almost sure of it, my lips are sealed." - Kurt Steel "Girl's got hat style! She seems really cute and interesting too! Hmm..." Solis Claritas "Friendly lass, can be quite a joy to chat with as well. Also seems to have a bit of a mischievous side." Barnabaix Haurtfelle "Leanne is strange, though I'm not one to talk... As she is fond of reminding me. Wish I could give in to wanderlust as easily as she does. I owe her." Jana Ridah "I believe I owe her my life – perhaps more than once. There is little I would not do for her, should she ask." Edda Eglantine "Cute. Strong. Kind. She's my type, but it's not her that I'm looking out for. I'm interested in that little bard soulstone; what it can do, and what her limitations with it are. One of my top "On The Lookout" individuals." Oscare Iono "I had the pleasure to listen to her singing. I soon felt the rain down my cheeks and was left speechless for a few moments afterwards, struck with awe." Elise Wolfe "She's seen me at my best and worst, been there for both. I owe a lot to her." Leih'a Relanah "Interesting woman with an interesting hat. She certainly has a head on her shoulders and common sense that have become all too rare among adventurers." - Orenji Kharn Relations ♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing     ● Poor Standing ♥ Chachanji Gegenji : A Free Paladin lalafell she considers a second sibling to nurture and protect, she once saw in him a younger version of herself when she started adventuring.

As time went by, their lives took separate roads and although the connection is there, they do not talk as frequently as before. ♥ Ralena Tharin : Former best friend of Leanne, Ralena was one of the first connections Leanne made in Ul’dah. Leanne deeply misses her. ♥ Spahro Llorn : Journalist from the Tonberry Lantern, and one of the most bizarre friendships. Leanne is very resistant to Spahro’s antics, rarely losing her cool with the eccentric keeper. Despite their strong opposite personalities, Leanne likes Spahro, considering her as one of the truest friends she has. ● Ha'uruh Nunh : A seeker that acts like a big brother towards Leanne, bringing some ease into her heart. She respects him a lot, but such fact does not stop her from pulling pranks nor joking at his expense, never forgetting to say sorry afterwards. ● Klynzahr Iyrnahctwyn : Leanne met Klyn during a sun midst the Grindstone, a conversation marked mostly by the roegadyn making fun of Leanne's short stature. She's the cautious to Leanne's daring, although too much for the seeker's taste as it shows some glaring flaws, the most obvious being the paranoia. ● Leih'a Relanah : Friend of hers and Markus, Leanne developed a knack for threatening him in one way or another, consequence of his usual mishaps. Such jest though is just an act of care, and Leanne care for her friend a lot. ● Aya Foxheart : Bartender of the Quicksand, Leanne and Aya have a nice friendship, both holders of a cheerful, slightly mischievous personalities. ● Elise Wolfe : They started a conversation at rocky terms as Elise had stolen an object that became target of Leanne's interest, their bartering clearly showing signs of hostility. Past that, a friendship managed to bloom between both, one that Leanne wishes to but is hesitant to nurture, as the woman seem to harbor deeper feelings. ● Oscare Iono : Grumpy highlander and friend of Leanne's, she loves to nag at him to be more sociable. In return, she's easy target to his jests, although having her comeuppance every now and then. Whenever he's around, she makes an extra effort to get a smile out of him. ● Sharla Blackberry : Once a sultansworn, once known as Shas Tarry. A friend, and once a minor mentor figure, Leanne does not know what path Sharla treads right now, but she does not like it. ● Coatleque Crofte : Another sultansworn, the interactions between Leanne and Crofte hangs from formal to very casual. Once she was afraid of approaching the woman, whose atmosphere exudes of authority, but not anymore. ● Devereau Beauregard : Fancy elezen, wearer of lavender, and a man Leanne is fascinated with, from the eloquent words that brings her admiration and envy to his distinct approach and interpretation of the Wanderer's teachings. Every single meeting with him has Leanne doing her best to mimic the expert word smithing of his. ● Orrin Halgren : Dragoon from Coerthas, they met by coincidence in the Churning Mists, at the time a place seldom visited by any of the Five Races. Sensing his thoughtfulness about the whole Dragonsong War, she felt inclined to pushing into 'opening' his mind. She has yet to discern the entirety of his personality, yet it didn't stop her from considering the knight a friend to count on. ● Kiht Jakkya : Matron of the Shroudwolf clan and a woman with quite a different attitude from Leanne. Through their conversations, it was shown a lingering envy from both parties for certain attributes held by one, but not by another. Having differing views, their talk is still considerate and respectful. Opinions are only opinions, after all. ● Ninifae Nira : Girlfriend of her best friend, Markus, and a friend of Leanne, also. Her overly logical approach always prompts Leanne to take a jab at her, through mischief or finding holes and exceptions to the rule. ● Cliodhna Eoghan : Engineer of the Red Wings, their chat tends to be extremely casual, although interesting subjects always arises from time to time, be Leanne's "incident" at her bachelorette party, or the fact that the highlander grew a drake and named him Habanero. The normalcy is welcome to Leanne's somewhat crazy life, although it can't be denied, the seeker is very curious of the Clio's secrecy about her job. ● Franz Renatus : A garlean Leanne met, it took a while for her to discover his homeland, yet such discovery didn't deter Leanne of continuing her friendship, instead giving her a lot of curiosity, not only about the man itself, but about Garlemald too. She likes to consider herself a close friend of his. ● Verad Bellveil : Source of laughs and also frustration, the dubious salesman strikes her as an honest, yet eccentric man. Valiant certain times, more often than not cowardly, somewhat serious, yet irreverently goofy, Leanne is fond of his presence, even if said presence causes frustration to no end. ● Edda Eglantine : Another friend of hers, the several times Leanne saved Edda from the dangers she got herself into thrust Leanne into being extra-protective of her well-being. ● Jancis Milburga : A woman Leanne trusts implicitly, for her kind nature and sweet words are just glimpses of an even warmer soul. ● Natalie Mcbeef : Late sultansworn, and Leanne's last opponent on her first victory in the Grindstone. Her once dear friend is now a bittersweet memory, reminding the girl of the duplicitous nature that people can hold. ● Roysia Stone : Past lover of Leanne, their break-up hurt Leanne more than she was able to cope with, sending her straight into depression. Past such issue though, Leanne misses the hyur. ● Koporo Aporo : A yet to be sultansworn Leanne chats with sometimes. She respects his determination, his idealism and chivalry, yet sees a glaring flaw in his temper and headstrong behavior. ● Atrium Crow : An undead she met during an incident. Last Leanne heard of Atrium, she was trying to fit in society. Leanne hopes she did. ● Jana Ridah : One of her few friendships within the Ul'dah armed forces, Leanne considers Jana as particularly quirky. Every so often she disagrees with her, be Jana shying away from crowds, being too eager to kill or to attain as per Leanne's mind the random revenge of the week, or simply using Leanne as a shield to hide herself from other people. Doesn't stop Leanne from liking her though. ● Jameson Taeros : The only man person that Leanne truly thought of killing for nothing else other than anger. He is dead, not by her hand though, and although she is satisfied with his end, she regrets that it did not come sooner. ● Evangeline Primrose : An elezen Leanne considers weird, their relationship is rocky at best as Leanne tries to respect Eva’s opinions but completely disagrees with her methods and actions, resulting in attrition.
