Leia Burns

This was written by BEN THE BEST456, please do no edit this page without consulting with the author first."Hey, at least you had good parents. Mine always wanted me to be like a Schnee and represent the family well. That's why I trained, not to protect people, but to get away from my parents.  Saving lives just happens to fit into that category."

- Leia's motivation for being a huntress. Leia Burns is the only child of Maximillion and Cream Burns and the heiress of the Burns Industries Corporation. Her family is the equivalent of the Schnees in the Kingdom of Vale, but accept Faunus people. Leia's weapons of choice are two rifles named Gryffindor and Slug which can also turn into clubs for close range combat. While at Beacon, she joined Team FLME with fellow students, Frederic Scorch, May Fumi and Ember Ignis.

Early Years
Leia was born into a rich lifestyle thanks to her parents and their company. From an early age, Leia's life was almost planned out for her, until she decided to deny her parents of what they wanted and began training to become a huntress. Her parents were quick to jump to the idea and used it to better their image, even though the Burns family was at their best ever since the War. Leia did not approve of this but had no choice in the matter. Leia pushed herself in both her studies and abilities.

Sometime before being accepted into Beacon, Leia went touring around small villages outside the kingdom and assisted in local defenses, and even upgraded some towns defenses of free. Eventually, Leia mounted a defense of a town being overrun with Grimm and saved it. While doing so, seemed to inspire a little girl in the village before retuning to Patch and later Beacon.

First Semester
Once Leia arrived at Beacon she talked to her old friend, Weiss Schnee but left rather abruptly when she saw the CCT Tower. Though it was off limits to first-years prior to the Initiation she still enjoyed seeing the outside of the building. She later attended Ozpin's speech and went to the ballroom as instructed. While she was there, Leia began to run some experiments, mostly with Dust Infusion into her weapons and the chemical make up of Dust. While she was working, a cork was launched from her station and hit someone in the head. Leia rushed over a apologized several times to the person, who brushed it off as nothing.

The boy then introduced themselves as Frederic Scorch. The two seemed to form a stable friendship and shared a love for books and science. Leia invited Fred over to assist to which he accepted and the two continued with Leia's experiments. They two stopped when Fred's brother/best friend, Ember Ignis, came over and introduced himself and the three agreed on sleep was more important.

The following day, Leia along with the other first-year students were launched into the Emerald Forrest for their initiation. When Leia landed, she was engaged by a King Taijitu. Though she was able to kill on head, she was quickly outmatched by the opposing head. However, she was saved by a mysterious figure in pink who was now her partner. Leia introduced herself and the figure did too, telling her name was May Fumi. The two took off in search of the temple but were constantly stopped by Grimm until they reach the area and were greeted by Fred and Ember. However, their reunion was cut short by more Grimm coming their way. Leia told May to get the relic, afterwards, the four took off with Leia creating a small compass to guide themselves out of the forrest. The group was stopped by Grimm, but pushed forward and made it to Beacon. Once back, the four were forever bound by Ozpin as Team FLME, lead by Fred.

As classes began, Leia was quick to make an impression to everyone on just how intelligent she truly was. This surprised both FLME and Professor Peach who held no objections to the increase of intelligence. Leia was clearly the smartest of the team, but was trumped when she entered Doctor Oobleck's class with Fred as he clearly shined in the class. This sparked a playful rivalry between the two, furthering their friendship.

About a week later, May and Ember went missing from Beacon during the weekend and seriously concerned Leia and Fred. As a response, the two went on a hunt for them throughout the city of Vale and questioned shop owners and and pedestrians alike. Fred decided to go to Patch to find Ember there and see if he could track May through her scent. While Leia and Fred were driving through Patch, they noticed White Fang Bullheads heading towards the docks of Patch. Putting their search on hold, they decided to investigate the Bullheads. When the two arrived, they saw Ember and May battling White Fang and May's stepfather, Shadow Ombre. Fred and Leia moved in to assist and engaged the White Fang and their commander, Nolan Runderen.

While Fred battled the White Fang commander, Leia helped Ember fight off White Fang members while May battled her step-father. When May was injured, Ember used his semblance and saved her and knocked out Shadow while Leia created a shield around them and helped May to her feet. After the battle and Shadow's arrested, the team retuned back to Beacon with their victory.

Second Semester
During the final day before the start of the second semester, Leia was primary in the library of Beacon going over notes from the previous semester and reviewing other notes. Later, May met up with her and the two decided to return to the dorm room. When they were walking back, the two met with Ember and soon met Team VILE. While Leia and May introduced themselves as friends, Ember and Eadwulf Fenrir went back and forth and pure hatred was seen. When Fred returned from training, he order a sparring match between the two. Leia, May, Fred and the rest of VILE watched the match with Ember winning. Leia left the arena not surprised by the victory.

After the duel, the team encountered Olive Pine, an old friend of Fred and Ember, with her team from Haven, Team WIOW. The reunion lasted for a short few minutes due to Fred running off after having a memory flash. When the rest of the team retuned to the dorm, they questioned Fred reviled what Nolan said to him the night they met and was always on edge since then, constantly thinking of what the lieutenant said. After the rant Fred went on, Leia suggested that they do a small crime hunt and try to find a way to stop Nolan to get Fred back on track and the team agreed.

Crime Hunt
After class a week after they established their plan, the team went to the motor pool in order to enact their plan. However, before they could go, team VILE came and forced themselves into the plan, much to Fred's dismay. While Ember and May went to the CCT to contact and old friend and spy within the White Fang, Leia and Eadwulf would go the VPD HQ to investigate evidence from the robbery last semester, Llew Glas and Ing Pugno would search White Fang activities and Fred and Violet went into Vale to met with Skyler, Fred's informative.

When Leia and Eadwulf arrived at the VPD HQ, the guards seemed to recognize her and Leia abused a bit of her family's power to get them into the evidence room. When inside Leia and Eadwulf began their search, with Eadwulf asking why did have come along or what they were doing necessarily. Leia gave him reinsurance of what they were doing and told him that they were trying to find ways to track Nolan and his White Fang soldiers. Leia then questioned why Eadwulf hated Ember, to which he replied that it was because he was wolf and Ember a fox Faunus. Leia said it was a stupid reason with Eadwulf shrugging it off but soon called Ember by his name. Leia believed this to be a sign of respect and said that Eadwulf was growing as a person. The two ceased their moment and returned to work.

Hours later, Leia and Eadwulf received a call from Violet saying that Fred was hunting Nolan and that they needed help. Leia and Eadwulf met up with everyone else and began to destroy the White Fang camp. Leia was engaged by a bounty hunter named, Lavender Kristal who was hired to kill her and the Burns Family. Eventually Nolan and Lavender fled and the ground gathered around, relayed their findings and returned to Beacon.

Beacon Dance
After the investigation, Leia was asked by May to accompany her to go dress shopping as she had none for the dance and was asked by Ember. Leia agreed and together the two had a little shopping day. Afterwards, Leia got May a pink bow to hid her Faunus traits if she chose to, a gift she greatly accepted. When the night of the dance begins, Leia and May met Fred and Ember outside the ballroom along the main avenue and the four go together. When they arrived, Leia and Fred chose a table and just sat down for a bit before Fred left. When he did, Team VILE came to the dance and Leia told Violet where Fred was. Leia then began a conversation with VILE, mostly Eadwulf and Llew and seemed to form a small friendship with them both.

As the nigh progresses, Fred mets up with Leia clearly saddened but what happened between he and Violet. Fred also sees Violet, also clearly saddened but what happen. Leia encourages Fred to go talk to her again, but he says he's getting fresh air and leaves the ballroom for a bit. When he left, Leia continued her conversation with Llew and the two decided to formulate a plan for their leaders. However, before they could enact their plan, Fred and Violet began dancing with one another. When the rest of FLME and VILE met up and watched Fred and Violet dance, Leia grabbed Eadwulf's arm and the two began dancing with one another as well.

First Mission
The following day, the first official mission for first-years begins. Ozpin gives a speech, wishing luck to the students before they select their missions. Team FLME decides to do Crime Investigation in the Southeast side of the city. As the team prepares to leave, they are greeted by teams VILE and WIOW who wish them luck and FLME in return wishes them the same luck. As the team approaches the Bullhead, Fred is overwhelmed with joy when he sees that the Huntsman they are working under is his brother's old teammate and friend, Bazaar Hiltzaile. The two exchange some banter and Fred introduces Leia and May to him, though he seems to already have an understanding of the team.

The team then arrives at a crime scene with the investigation being spearhead by Detective Lagoon and Bazaar himself. Team FLME gets to work and discoveries a few pieces of evidence pointing to the White Fang. When they conduct their investigation, Bazaar asked Leia why she wanted to become a huntress. Leia tells him that she wants to explore Remnant and learn all she can to help better it. The area was known for White Fang attacks so Bazaar orders a stake out with each member of the team taking shifts while watching the streets below them.

When Fred watches over the streets below, inside the building where Team FLME set up camp Leia, May and Ember question what Bazaar meant by why he asked them what their motivation was. When the three begin to talk, Leia reviles that she does want to explore Remnant, but only to avoid her parents that she despises. It just so happens that saving people fits into the category. At the end of their talk, the three agree that no matter what, they are huntsmen and huntresses to serve Remnant, by any means necessary, earning a smile from Bazaar and Fred.

After Fred's shift is completed, Ember takes over and the leader falls asleep only to be awaken later by Leia who states that there is a White Fang attack. Fred quickly joins in and leads the team Against the fang. After a few minor skirmishes with goons, one reviles that there is an active bomb somewhere in the area. Bazaar then interrogates a few other goons who confirm the claim and the five along with the VPD begin the hunt.

Fred and his team find out the location via a White Fang lieutenant and the team runs toward the area. However, while on the way, they encounter Lavender Kristal. Fred orders everyone to keep going while he dealt with the bounty hunter. The three push onward and encounter Nolan himself next, with Ember telling the girls to push forward. The two then reach the bomb's location and Leia tries to disarm it while May covers her. Eventually, an overwhelming amount of Grimm and White Fang come and Leia assist her friend until Ember shows up to assist.

Once Fred reunites with his team, he sees that the bomb is about to go off. He then has Leia use her semblance to create a shield around the bomb which he hopes should contain the blast. Leia does so and the bomb goes off, forcing Leia to make multiple shields and layers around the explosion. Eventually, the blast stops and Leia is knocked out cold, being caught by Fred. Afterwards, the team returns to Beacon to place Leia in the infirmaryand joins the huntsmen in defending Vale from the Grimm. After Leia comes around, Fred and the rest of the team fills her in on what happens and states that Nolan and Lavender are still out there and still planning.

Vytal Festival Tournament
At the end of the first year at Beacon, Team FLME participated in the 40th Annual Vytal Festival Tournament. The they were the first team to fight in the tournament against Team VILE themselves. Before the fight, Violet and Fred exchanged some banter along with Ember and Eadwulf. As the terrain was set in for the fight, Fred ordered Plan Delta-One one he was told there was an urban environment.

The fight began and the team quickly began the plan, leaving VILE confused as to where they were. Suddenly, Fred jumped right as Violet and attempted to kick her, but she blocked it with her staff, pushing him away from the team. Ember then attacked Eadwulf, pushing him back to the high grass bio while Fred continued to bet down on Violet. Llew and Ing were also pushed back by Leia and May, using the urban terrain for cover and surpassing the team. Llew then used her semblance of teleportation to attack May in a high rise, ceasing her sniper support and Ing got the jump on Leia. Ember, realizing May was in trouble wanted to help her, but was cut off by Eadwulf. Violet went to assist Ing, leaving Fred to take on Eadwulf, giving Ember the cover he needed.

Violet and Ing then double team Leia who is put on the ropes until Ember assist her and knocks out Ing. Violet and Leia begin to duel one another until both Violet and Llew are pushed back to the center of the arena. Violet using her semblance of Lighting manipulation to electrocute team FLME. However, Fred learns by sheer luck he can also manipulate lighting, launching back at Violet and Llew, knocking them both back. The team takes the advantage and attacks with Fred and Leia taking on Violet while May and Ember take down Llew. Once Llew is down, Fred and Leia throw Violet into a rock and Fred kicking her in the head also knocking her out, winning the match in the process.

After the fight, Ember and Eadwulf exchange some words and then began to share some respect for one another. Fred helps Violet to her feet and both teams agree it was a good match and leave on good terms with one another and Violet kissing Fred on the cheek for luck.

After the fight with Team VILE the eight began to watch the following match, Team WIOW vs Team SSMR of Atlas Academy. Both FLME and VILE cheered for Fred and Ember's old friend Olive and team against the Atlas team. However, Fred recognized one of the members of SSMR but couldn't put his tongue on it. During the fight, a member of SSMR pulled the year of WIOW's Faunus, Ireland Sarga, giving May a minor panic attack. Fred then had Ember and May leave the area and told Ember to not let May see the team fight. Leia wishes to go with her but is prevented by Fred. Throughout the fight, Leia belittles the Atlas team and is constantly worried about her friend and wishes to know what happened with Fred telling to let May what she wants to tell.

After the fight, Fred, Leia and Team VILE congratulated WIOW on a good fight and noticed the opposing team smiling and the member that pulled on Ireland's ear winked at him, with Fred responding with gritting his teeth. Fred and Leia then met with May and Ember in their dorm where May explained what happened and how she was abused as a child. The team then decided to take a walk around campus and came to the docks where Fred and Ember recognized an Atlas ship coming in and the commander of the vessel, Elsa Inverno, Isaac's old teammate.

The three exchanged some words, but she seemed to be more interested in Leia and May. While Fred and Ember left, the three girls walked down the main avenue and talked until they were interrupted by Isaac Scorch himself. Leia attempts to stand up for Elsa but is pushed aside by Isaac who calls by her name, despite the two never reading meeting at all in the past. Leia and May then witness Isaac and Elsa's duel, with Fred and Ember coming and watching the fight unfold. After the match was stopped by Ironwood and Qrow, Leia and the team retuned to their dorms.

The next day, Leia is training with Elsa to improve her swordplay. Elsa says that Leia is quite adept with her skill and can progress further onward. Leia agrees and for the next few hours, Elsa and Leia train to become better. Later on, Leia and May watched the fight between Fred and Ember against Solomon Noir and Regen Wilhelm. Leia and May were shocked at what Fred was capable of and congratulated their teammates after their victory.

That night, team FLME placed Ember in an ice bath after they returned from the infirmary. The team discussed who would represent them in the finals and the clear choice was Fred though to his disagreement as he suggested Ember. However, Ember was in no condition to fight so Fred went with his team and placed himself as their selection. As he was doing so, there was a knock at the door with May responding. However, as she opened the door, she immediately closed it and returned to Ember's side and began stretching his ear as a form of "Stress relief". May then reviled it was Solomon who again knocked. Leia in response, grabbed Gryffindor but was stopped by Fred who claimed he would handle it and for Leia to protect the rest. As he opened the door, Solomon asked if he could talk to him for a bit, with Fred agreeing.

Afterwards, Fred returned to his team and broke down crying about his parents. As he did so, Leia and Ember comforted him and repeated his words of "We are family.", which was able to calm Fred down and rejoin his team with his usual polite, cocky and cheerful attitude during down times.

Battle of Beacon
After the first match of the finals ended, Fred and his team were surprised of what happened, but still pushed onward. Soon, the team heard of the breakout of Shadow Ombre placing May in a state of fear. As a result Ember and May stayed inside the dorm and Fred and Leia went to the arena to watch the next match. After everyone witnessed the battle between Pyrrha Nikos and Penny Polendina in which Penny was killed. Afterwards, everyone in Vale heard a message from an unknown person which made Fred and Leia clearly distraught and scarred. After the speech, Grimm attacked Vale promoting Fred and Leia into action and escorting civilians away from the arena and school.

The two then met with Team VILE along the docks and contacted Ember who told them of Beacon's invasion by the White Fang and Grimm. The six then took a ship to Beacon and agreed to do everything in their power to save the school. The group landed surrounded by Ember, May, Solomon and Team WIOW. Despite Fred uneasy with Solomon being there, he still welcomed the help. As he soon realized, everyone looked to him for leadership and soon took it. Fred ordered WIOW to Vale and assist with a safe zone, Leia, Llew and Ing to go to the library to save more students, Ember, May and Eadwulf to the dorms to do the same and for Violet, Solomon and himself to defend the docks from the incoming Grimm.

Leia, Ing and Llew made it to the library and began to rescue wounded students and teachers. Ing and Leia dealt with the fires as Llew used her semblance to get everyone out and to safety. After the library was cleared, the three ran to the docks and helped to secure it from White Fang soldiers. After May, Ember and Eadwulf returned, Leia was worried for May's condition and got her to an airship along with the rest of Teams VILE and SSMR. When Fred and Violet left to find Isaac, Leia and FLME escaped Beacon and returned to Patch.

A week later, Leia and FLME greeted Fred after he awoke from being knocked out for days. They explained that after the flash, both Violet and he were knocked out and Isaac got them to safety then left Vale. Violet and her team retuned to Shade as Violet was in a coma and Fred was brought to the Burns Family Home. Leia told him that if he needed something her maids and butler would be there. Four days later, Fred remembered that who gave the speech preluding the battle said she was from Mistral. So, Fred states that he must go on the mission alone, and did not order to ask anyone else to come with him as he could not lose his original home too. However, his team still agreed to accompany him and together the four set out to Haven Academy the next week.

Post-Fall of Beacon
After the Fall of Beacon, Fred stops at a local village to stop both White Fang soldiers and Grimm from attacking the small town. After his initial engagement is completed, Fred receives a call from the rest of the team who state they will be there soon to assist. Following that, the team is hired by a village near Amber Square that is in need of assistance dealing with a Grimm pack lead by a Geist. The team kills of the pack once they catch it off guard and lead the Geist to a small clearing. Once there, the team begins to fight it off. While Fred, Ember and May fight off the Geist, Leia instructs the team on how to take it down. May was then thrown into the air by Leia who then cut the Geist in half, ending the job. The team then noticed a White Fang member and captured him and interrogated him, reviling one of Roz Quarzo's Lieutenants in Menagerie. The team then returned to the village and got paid by the Village Minister.

After their payment, Fred and the team went to the blacksmith who upgraded the Scorch Blades to have dust infusion into the blades. The blacksmith then reviled what he used for a power source of pure lighting in a bottle Fred got from Violet. Fred let the blacksmith keep the lighting if he would agree to give the team a free job next time they were in town, and the smith agreed. The team then left the town and decided to got to Menagerie and the next town over was a water village with sea passage. As they were walking, a photo blew out of Fred's jacket with Leia catching it and looking at the photo which was he and Violet dancing together. Leia teased him a bit, but Fred did not share the sentiment and calmed it was a memento of Beacon.

Journey to Menagerie
While on the journey to Menagerie, Leia and May were awoken by Ember as an alert that their ship was under attack. The three went to work in clearing out the ship and delinked the ship from their own and joined their leader on the pirate ship. The team was then surround, but May and the captain's wife seemed to know one another. The Captain's wife realized that May was her daughter and the captain her father. With the family reunited, they sailed back to their hometown with FLME.

The two introduced themselves as March and April Fumi, the ruling family of Fumi Cove on Menagerie. The team also introduced themselves and March told the story of how May was taken away from them by Shadow Ombre, 17 years ago. During the tale, March stated that Team AMER assisted them with the defense of the city. This in turn, forced Fred to leave the cabin with Ember giving chase. Leia stayed with May and the two joined the boys on the upper deck. While at the cove, the crew of the Fumi's ship passed out necessary supplies for the survival of the town. March then showed the team the main conduit for the local power station and activated it, giving Fred flashes and forced him into hiding.

As Fred ran, Shadow Ombre arrived with a fleet primed to attack the town. While May would try to get Fred back, Leia and Ember moved to the beach and set up defenses. Soon, Ombre's landing parties arrived and attacked with local ships and soldiers defending the city from the beach and Leia and Ember on the front lines. Eventually, Lavender Kristal arrived on the shore and tough Leia and Ember.

As Ember left to assist May and her family, Fred continued to fight Lavender until Ember was almost killed by Shadow. Fred burst into a flurry of fire and was able to blast fire from his hands and began summoning lava pools and streams of lava and destroyed half of Ombre's fleet and launched the general back to his flagship.

Afterwards, Ombre ordered a full retreat and his fleet left right before Fred passed out. Afterwards, Fred learned from his team that they were taken to the Anima shore after their lead was scrapped and continued towards Amber Square. However, before they could go, May was offered to stay with her parents, and offer she rejected.

Journey to Amber Square
After climbing up a mountain, Fred and Ember explained to the girls that at the top was a village they used to visit all the time entitled, Furno Village. However, as they reached the top, both Ember and Fred smelt smoke and saw it rising. The team the rushed into the town to see it in ash and bodies everywhere. Fred gave the order to look the town to try to find survivors. When Leia called one out, he recognized the person as his old friend Azula. Using bio-foam to block her wounds, Leia and Fred asked her questions on what happened. She said that troops wearing the Ombre emblem attacked lead by a Faunus and the local scientist, Doctor Lavenza Volt. The team set up camp for the night and would continue to move the following day.

The team moves down the mountain with the boys explaining to the girls of how Sol and Furno Village are able to survive out far away from the capital. Fred and Ember state it is because of the barriers the citizens built and natural hazards that stop the Grimm from reaching them. Once the team made it to Sol, they placed Azula within Sol's local hospital and the team moved out the following morning.

Two days later, the team comes across one of Sol's offshoots known as District Four which appears destroyed. While the team looks for survivors, May finds a name to the town which confirms it is District Four. While the team is originally confused, Ember and Fred realize they are in the original District Four which was shut down due to Grimm and Bandit attacks. While the team persist through the town, Ember stops the group due to him sensing something. The four take out their weapons and Damson Shade appears.

After running in and leaping from higher ground, Damson lands on his feet, facing the four teenagers. He immediately takes out his weapons in a seamless motion and, laughing eagerly, moves to attack Fred. Ember intervenes, Tooth and Fang clashing with Damson's knives. Ember attempts to both kick and shoot Damson, but he dodges. The two have a couple more attack and parries until Damson kicks Ember several feet away. Damson then runs and slashes Fred before he parries and attempts to kick Damson but the ladder dodges and kicks Fred away. The Faunus is then attacked by May who he effortlessly knocks away then uses Leia's weapons to throw himself into a building.

Fred calls up and attempts to de-escalate the fight, while Ember wants Damson to identify himself. Damson leaps to the ground before the teenagers again states his name and that he only matters to Fred. He announces that his intent to take take Fred with him, while Leia and Ember move to defend him. Delighted that they are willing to fight, Damson moves fast to attack Ember from behind. Ember then counters the strike and places Damson on his knees before Damson jumps over the fox and kicks him away and then attacks Leia and May. After leaping over them, Damson attacks Fred yet again before his uses Wonderland to catapult himself onto a roof. From there, he runs along rooftops while avoiding fire from FLME and gets attacked by Ember, but throws him away. He then lands on the ground and also throws May into a building and charges Leia.

Leia then uses her semblance to entrap Damson but he effortlessly breaks out, stabs Leia's rifles and uses them to launch himself into the air, effectively knocking her out. Hours later, Fred awakens from being unconscious and eases him up slowly. Leia explains the bandages worn by Fred and how their Atlas military tech with some help from the BIC. She also makes note that Damson damaged her weapons, rendering them useless. Ember and May then return to the group and tell Fred their in Higanbana Gorge and a day away from Amber Square. When Leia mentions they should question how they got there, Fred states they should not question the good fortune and sleep for tomorrows journey saying they will rest more and longer within the town.

The next day, the team arrives in Amber Square and Fred and Ember finally return home with a warm embrace from their parents. The four explain to the elder huntsmen of what had transpired for them following the Fall of Beacon with Mason asking greatly about Damson and what happen the previous day. Eventually the group stops the conversation and get ready for the night. Leia soon walks in on Fred playing his father's guitar and singing his father's theme. When Leia asks about this, Fred tells her that he played to honor his father and that his guitar his one of his prized possessions.

The following day, the Ignis family is visited by, much to FLME's surprise, Team VILE from Vacuo. Violet states that they are on a mission and heard about the Ignis family and wanted to stop by. The eight go around town and catch up but are stopped by a large Grimm being ridden by Lavenza Volt and Damson Shade.

Battle of Amber Square
While the Grimm opens fire on the town, the two riders jump off and begin to move through the city. The Grimm then smells Fred and lands right in front of him and his allies. Before it can attack, Mason intervenes and attacks the Grimm telling everyone to run. Fred then has Violet help his father but they chose to stay with Fred. Other Grimm come into the city as well and VILE then move in to assist while FLME were attacked by Damson again. However, right before he struck, Isaac Scorch entered and blocked Damson's strikes. Damson then greets Isaac formerly and the two fight.

During the fight, Damson disarmed Isaac but was stopped by Fred. May also attacked Damson but stopped when Isaac ordered her to do so. Isaac and Damson continued to fight with Fred, Ember and May intervening at times to help. May was eventually disarmed and Leia picked up the sword and charged Damson. After Damson stabbed Isaac, Leia serves his tail with the use of Wonderland, making him wince in pain and stubble away. When Damson regains some composer, he calls Leia a "blonde haired whore" and is prepared to strike. However, before he can, Fred and Ember stand between the two and block his path, forcing Damson into a retreat. Isaac was then weakened and FLME told him to rest while they assist VILE and Evie in defeating the Grimm.

When FLME arrived at the scene, the eight teenagers and professional huntress stealthily went around buildings to confuse and mislead the Grimm while dealing damaging blows to the beast. Eventually, Eadwulf used his semblance to match the Grimm and beat it back to the point of retreat. However, Lavenza shot Fred in the back breaking his aura and again rendering him unconscious and being picked up by the Grimm. Damson and Lavenza then made their escape on the Grimm in hopes of returning to Onyx, but were stopped by Isaac who used the last of his strength to cut the legs of the Grimm off, dropping Fred towards the bay.

That night, he along with the rest of FLME and VILE were told the story of the Maidens, Salem, Onyx and the Guardian of Flame. After Isaac left, Fred confronted him again and broke down restating that how could he not trust Fred with this knowledge. The two brothers then go into the attic and find their father's old journal about the Guardian and its temples. Isaac then breaks down stating that he could never be the man Fred is, stating that Fred is selfless, heroic, determined and full of hope and wonder.

The following day, Fred decides to go with Isaac in search of the temples to stop Onyx, but is halted by FLME and VILE who state they wish to go with them and that May can get them a ride. The group then sets off with March and April in search of the Anima Temple and to defeat Onyx.

Psych-Interviews
"I guess you could say, no one on our team had a happy childhood."

- Leia about her team's childhood.

Personality
Leia is a straight forward and confident person, usually diving head first into situations. However, she does so with a direct plan and evaluates every possible outcome first before the situation goes through. Leia is energetic, and supports a strong carefree attitude that normally makes her seem very lax and easy going. Due to this, Leia sometimes goes into fights with a smile, but was only early on. Similar to her leader, Leia takes things very seriously and is clearly the team's main strategist. Unlike her leader, Leia is an extrovert and enjoys making new friends, as shown when she befriends Team VILE very quickly. However, she does not let her social life take control and does focus on school work then social when the time calls for it.

Leia also hates having so much attention on her, mostly due to her parents giving her so much attention as a child. This is further evidence that she enjoys her studies and books more than her social life. Due to this though, and her desire to make new friends, Leia does enjoy hanging out with friendsmostly May Fumi, whom she considers her best friend. When at the dance itself, she gives advice to her leader and friend and later continues to pursue a friendship with Llew and Eadwulf.

Leia also hates having so much attention on her, mostly due to her parents giving her so much attention as a child. This is further evidence that she enjoys her studies and books more than her social life. Due to this though, and her desire to make new friends, Leia does enjoy hanging out with friends

Leia also appears to be good at reading people, as evident when she and Eadwulf are investigating crime scene evidence at the VPD HQ. After hearing Eadwulf call Ember by his name, she deduces that Eadwulf does have a sign of respect for Ember and FLME. She is also not one to have a loss keep her down, going for an optimistic route sometimes in order to stay calm and happy and make others around her feel joy.

Leia also has a large love for strawberries and enjoys baking. She would normally incorporate strawberries into her desserts, an act her teammates normally hate.

Leia is also described as a bit bubbly and very optimistic when she wants to be. This is normally around those she cares for, mainly her teammates. This can be contrasted as when she is around her parents, she is stubborn, formal and blunt. As a result, Leia has been described as having rapid mood swings from time to time and can easily change her movements accordingly.
