Leanne Delphium (25th Sun 6th Umbral Moon) is a city born miqo'te who hails from Gridania. Since a child the Seeker was one to go against the current of Gridania's peaceful culture, dreams and wishes of traveling burning deep into her heart. By the age of 17, the brave and courageous miqo'te said goodbye to her parents and relatively safe life, starting the life of adventure she so much desired. Now, by the tender age of 18, she is already a respectable adventurer with a lot of experience, and a lot of friends, who she will protect with tooth and nail from the dangers Hydaelyn might present.
"Eyes and sight guides my arrows, feet and boots leads my heart. Through these roads I shall walk, through many paths I will tread. My journal is an endless book. My dream...a traveler's dream." - Leanne Delphium
Contents
Character
Appearance
- A girl with striking golden eyes, happy and cheerful features, Leanne is slightly smaller than most people, difference that become most obvious to her when besides roegadyns and elezens. She takes everything in a practical way, and that includes her appearance, with easy to breath shirt and trousers. The most iconic item of her attire is her headwear, a fancy hat which she bought midst the road. It is one of the very identities of Leanne, so much that most of her friends can immediately identify her just by the sight of the object. Leanne is of alluring beauty, fact that she more often than not ignores, as appearance is considered a secondary thing in her life.
- Even though the seeker goes for the easy and practical, she actually puts a lot of care in her very long hair, a paradox to her usual methods. She refuses to cut it into a more easy to manage size, instead only trimming it so it doesn't get out of her control. Another glimpse of her vanity is the face paint she likes to use, and is never seen without.
- As a result of recent events, she was forced to disguise herself for a short period of time. As such, her auburn hair was dyed into a deep red color, and more face painting changed into a more fearsome one. Another visible change is the black lipstick she now uses.
Behavior
- Leanne is a very cheerful and enthusiastic girl, willing to help and hear anyone and everyone. She's quick to trust those even with more malicious intentions, and tries to deal with problems peacefully when possible. Her love of travel and experiences in Eorzea made her wise beyond her years, mind open to accept and sometimes partake in several, different cultures and customs. Somewhat naive in certain departments, but more often than not sharp, she's easily able to detect lies, something she mostly attributes to her "sharp eyes".
- Recent events made Leanne mature even further, becoming more aware from the evils and duality of the world. Yet, for the sake of herself, she refuses to give into dark tendencies. Even though weary, she's motivated by others as well as her beliefs and heart, and through several probations, she still remains a virtuous, noble soul.
Combat
General/Physical
- As a children, her "mascot" status between some of the Quivers and Wailers gave her access to a variety of weapons, as well as a bit of combat experience. Through these means, her excellent marksmanship was shown to the world, being able to pull remarkable stunts with a bow. It didn't take long for Leanne to focus herself on that strength of hers, not only with a bow, but with any ranged weapon she managed to get her hands into, becoming a very skilled sharpshooter. If her aim fails though, she develop keen skills at dodging attacks, as well as managed to mimick a few advanced pugilist moves. Even though she has shown potential in such art, such potential yet remains untapped.
- Another skill recently developed was her prowess with daggers. Maybe a bleed-off from her potential as a pugilism, or perhaps the result of watching too many dagger wielders, Leanne is not wholly experienced, yet can be fearsome with the weapon. Marrying it with her aim and skill at knife-throwing though, the possibility becomes certain.
Magic
- Leanne has -zero- experience with aether, the closest thing to manipulation she has coming from the fact she is a bard, manipulating the aether and people's emotions with her songs.

Relationships
Family
Leanne deeply loves her family, from her dutiful father, to her sweet and helping mother, and of course, her mischievous and equally carefree little brother.
- C'thara Delphium: A former huntress of the coeurl tribe, nowadays a sweet mother who tends for her children. Leanne's major source of counseling, several characteristics of the younger miqo'te can be found in her mom, not only in thought, but also in appearance. Even though Leanne's not as fierce as C'thara, the matriarch saw in her daughter a mirror of her younger days in Leanne's insatiable wanderlust and drive for adventure. Initially against having Leanne shoving herself into danger, eventually she yielded to her daughter, and as of today, C'thara helps her daughter whenever she asks, and is filled with proud at each achievement she hears from the adventurer.
- C'kahn Delphium: Former tia of the coeurl tribe, nowadays carpenter and leatherworker in Gridania. He was considered by everyone a weak man, yet, his sense of duty, determination and his utterly kind soul eventually managed to steal C'thara's heart, driving both him and his lover to find a new home in Gridania. C'kahn leaves Leanne's mentoring mostly to C'thara, as he also sees in Leanne a younger version of his wife, yet is not shy from helping her whenever she needs. The more doting parent, he was the one who gave to Leanne her chocobo.
- Elliot Delphium: Leanne's younger brother, a very mischievous and carefree kid, who sees Leanne as an icon to follow and idolize, bringing a bit of jealousy into C'kahn, and giggling into C'thara. Currently practicing spear-fighting, he aims to reach Leanne, and someday surpass her.
- Kyrin: Leanne's loyal pup, also known as the Little Bandit. Fearless and always happy, he's a constant source of happiness and trouble for Leanne, his love for bones surpassing the common knowledge that you don't try stealing them from crypts and reanimated skeletons.
