Leanne T. Holmes

Leanne Talium is a Huntress in Training who graduated from the fanmade school Lantern Academy and now attends Beacon.

Appearance
Due to her appearance, Leanne can easily be confused for a red eyed little girl looking to be around twelve years old. She has pink hair tied in pig tails, the length reaching to her mid thighs. Her ponytails are tied with red dice hairpins. Normally the top of her head is coverd with a black and white checkered hat.

Her normal outfit comprises of a short sleved, button up shirt with a tie handing around her neck. A brown, strapped waist skirt, black thigh high stockings, and brown, high top boots complete her outfit. She wears a utility belt around her waist and a holster around her right leg.

Personality
Insufferable genius, that is the best way to describe the self proclaimed genius. Prideful, haughty, and prioritizing herself most of the time, Leanne is not the easiest person to get along with. And with the way her height is, a lot of people do not take her seriously.

However that doesn't mean her time at bragging about her intellect should be looked don upon, she truly is a genius; perceptive and deductive, this being her main strength in a fight as her evaluation of the situation gives her the strategy to counter any moves and win to cmpensate for her small stature. This helps her compare simple clue that would appear to not be related but becomes a web she uses to find the truth.

However, she will lie and bend the truth if necessary, and only when necessary as she would not want to risk her family being dishonored because of her actions. Her devotion to her family is absolute and is a proud to be part of the prestige Holmes family, even if she is technically going against their wishes of her to marry and instead shoots to be a detective to bring in more honor.

At times she can be a bit eccentric, moving from one subject to the next even if they have the slightest relation to one another; an example being when she will first talk about playing cards and how they first originated from Tarot Cards, and then move the conversation to talking about the aristocrasy, the key connection being the blue blood of reality and printed on the playing cards and tarot cards.

She takes an interest in nearly everything, but once she studies up everything on it, she gets bored and moves onto the next subject. One day she learned how to play the piano, but once she did, grew bored and immersed herself into learning about poker.

One way to tone down her ego is to, amazingly, flatter her with honest words instead of petty lies. She responds well to honesty. She will, however, flip should someone get credit for the work she did.

Contract to how she acts though, she suffers from major depression, mostly stemming from the doubt she feels if she can live up to her family name as both a huntress and a member of aristocracy. She pressures herself far too much and it backfires in the form of her depression. She takes anti-depressant pills but has begun recently to overdose, trying to block the feeling of depression and her constant fear of failure.

While she may not have many friends, she does care about the few she has, and will do anything for them because her friends are proof that she is a decent person, despite her faults, and her loyalty to her friends matches the devotion she feels towards her family.

Backstory
Born and raised in the Holmes Family, Leanne was raised in the higher class of society. She had the  best tuition, the best training, she learned everything she could because she was raised as a Holmes and expected to be the best lady as the offspring of the family. At one point in time she agreed with everything they said. She considered it an honor to be part of the family that held ties to government.

However, over time, she began to feel empty. With each accomplishment came an unsteady feeling inside, one that caused her to try and learn more, only to succeed and feel empty again. With emptiness came another feeling, sadness that formed into depression.

Around the age of ten, Leanne met a young girl at school, Solange. They had a small tussle about how her family was oppressive and useless. Leanne smacked her, and then suddenly it became a large brawl that had both girls sitting in the principal's office. The two had a talk, and nearly started to fight, until they both heard a song playing on the violin. It was one that was used at a Faunus rally. Both girls managed to talk out their differences and would soon become the best of friends.

She was punished that day for starting a fight despite the fact it was to protect her family name. But her actions only caused her to get hurt in a sense. Leanne began feeling that rules were everything and to uphold by them was another way of protecting her family. But living by that rule was tough as she would quickly become angered when she found a lie in people's words or when her family was looked down upon.

One day she threw a stuffed animal at another person's face when he declared the family to be lazy bums. That person was her cousin, someone she never met until now. She was walking around the city after escaping one of her usual routine lessons of Piano, something she already mastered and felt emptiness when playing it. Running away to escape she came across the young man and, being the arrogant small lady she as, ordered him to step aside, revealing her name in the process. An argument occurred and Leanne threw stuff at the male.

It ended with the two of them having a talk, after the girl trailed him for an hour, without losing him. It impressed the male and he revealed his name, which only set to make the girl even more upset as he then began berating him. However, she decided to take the time to hear his side of the story, and while skeptical of it, could believe parts of it given how she was treated. Eventually, the years went by and she bonded rather nicely with her estranged cousin.

During his visits, which were once a year, he explained some cases ot her, which slowly had her enamored with the mystery genre. This made her aspire to become a detective as she could use her intellect for something useful instead of being someone to marry off and look pretty. Naturally her family was against it, but she managed to compromise with them through sheer luck and a well timed lie. Once she was done with the detectie gig, she would go off and marry someone of good standing. This made her realize that if she could bend the truth a little, she could get what she wanted.

Naturally she had no plans on getting married, and wanting to prove people wrong about her family, more specifically, her well meaning grandparents, she began doing small cases and worked her way up while attending Lanter Academy, gaining a somewhat partner through her friend Solange.

However, one of those many compromises asked that she attend Beacon Academy, which was well known for producing top notched huntsmen. Leanne agreed swifly, as her cousin wa said to be there, something her family didn't know.
