"Lions do not concern themselves with the opinions of sheep~"

Name: Leona Lionheart
Gender: Female
Age: Twenty-Five
Birthday: June 9th
Sexuality: Homosexual
Special Characteristics: N/A

HEAR ME ROAR: A woman of commanding authority and a presence that radiates dominance, Leona is by all definitions of the word 'ferocious'. When she speaks, all listen regardless of rather they want to or not. Every fiber of her being oozes power and control and rarely is the Lioness ever truly pushed to the sidelines. While intimidating at first glance Leo possesses a noble and chivalrous energy which may be enough to put the restless at ease. But one should always remember that she was born and raised a Amazon and as a result she has become extremely abrasive in everything she does. So bare this in mind oh audience mine; beware the Lions jaws~

REGAL LETHALITY: While certainly possessing an aura of regality and sovereign superiority one would be horribly mistaken to consider Leona 'soft' and 'caring'. While she is not beyond her moments of affection and wholesome intimacy Leona is known for being terrifyingly fierce and relentlessly violent. She approaches every situation head on and does not hesitate to display overwhelming force and savagery. She is not known for her kindness or modesty, she speaks her mind no matter how vulgar or ugly it may be and respects almost no authority but her own and those who have earned her respect. A feat which is a gauntlet in of itself much to the annoyance of her superiors.

SIN OF PRIDE: A proud woman with overwhelming arrogance and ego. But is it not deserved? Once upon a time she had nothing, was nothing. And even when chased from her home and disowned by her own family she triumphed over her suffering. And now it is she who has power, she who commands, she who succeeds. Her image is everything to her and rarely is she swayed by the opinions of those around her. While she wholeheartedly believes anyone can achieve greatness she holds very few people in high regard. To earn her respect is something to be truly proud of,for it means she recognizes you as her equal in every way. But for those who have yet to earn this honor, they will not even have the honor to be called 'he or she'. But merely 'it', for that is all they will ever be~

FAMILY IS FOREVER: Her people, her House...it is they she holds closest to her heart aside from her own self image and quest for power. There is very little she wouldn't do for her family and the sacrifices she has made for them will always be considered her greatest achievements. No battle, no war, no business deal will ever compare to the lengths she has gone to provide for her clan and its individuals. Probably one of the only people in the world who have seen a kinder, more affectionate Leo. The Lioness is very family oriented and like a proud mother will often end up bragging about a great achievement of one of her clanmates~


SELF MADE WOMAN: Shocking as it may be to those who meet the Lioness for the first time, but Leona once came from nothing. Growing up in a lesser town and being so poor she couldn't even afford bread she quite literally had to claw and fight to survive during every step of her young life. Weakness was something she was defined by and despite that fact she sought success and attained power with nothing but sheer will and determination. Despite the adversity, the pain, and the looming possibility of failure she managed to find her way into her guild and become a force not to be trifled with despite being a rookie. Because of her humble beginnings Leona has a great disdain for those who wallow in their poor lifestyles and complain that 'things aren't fair' when she herself had to do whatever it took to survive and triumph.

Likes:

• Leona has a soft spot for everyone in her Guild and spends a lot of time with them due to her social instincts. She does what she can to approach everyone within the Guild in attempts to bond with them and develop long term relationships which further strengthen team synergies.
  

• The dark skinned Lioness very much enjoys training despite her naturally brutality and savagery. But she does find personal enjoyment in pushing herself to the brink and testing the limits of others as well, finding it good for personal growth and development of ones skills.
  

• Despite her fierce attitude and standoffish nature Leona enjoys the finer things in life. Simply being around others and telling stories of ones adventures and hardships are enough to make the Lioness happy and thus she never tires of a good story.
  

Dislikes:

• Cowardice makes Leonas blood boil with fury and anger. She can't stand watching others shy away from hardship and strife because they are too afraid to act or opponents who would rather attack her from a far range and never truly look her in the eye and 'face' her. She has no respect for cowards and will actively go out of her way to humiliate them.
  

• Another thing Leo shows great disdain for his anyone or anything picking on the weak. She finds it dishonorable and often finds herself at odds with pirates, slavers, and other oppressive forces.
  

• Leona really has a strong dislike for most government authority and their overwhelming displays of incompetence. She finds it offensive on a spiritual level and can often be seen calling out government officials and humiliating them publicly should she feel the need to take them down several pegs.
  

Motivations:

• While selfish in her primary goal Leona seems to desperately desire power. It is unknown to most why she desires it so badly but some suspect it has something to do with her mother. Some believe that her mother was once a powerful wizard who fell in battle and Leona is attempting to maintain her mothers image by imitating the greatness she achieved. But in the end who can really know for sure?
  

• Her Guild is what she would consider her family and thus the betterment of it is something she actively seeks out. She is very protective of her Guild mates and finds herself giving most of the earnings she does gain to the Guild for better upgrades to equipment, resources, and trade rather than selfishly hogging all the gold she does earn.
  

• The protection of the innocent and 'little guy' is something that greatly motivates Leona. Her father being a Guardian of the People motivated the young Amazon to do the same and thus she is often seen aiding those who have trouble fending for themselves.
  

Fears:

• Being raised in the scorching desert Leona spent a lot of time on solid land and thus she has spent very little time in water. As a result of this Leo is terrified of large bodies of water which makes her extremely uncomfortable when she is forced onto a ship in order to travel somewhere. Being as large and heavy as she is the ability to 'swim' is something that is lost to most of her people and so getting her close to deep water is a nearly impossible task.
  

• While no one is aware of this little flaw it is still a fear that is deeply ingrained into Leo. The reason she goes to such lengths to provide for her Guild is because in the end the one thing she fears in this life more than anything else is the fear of abandonment. Her mother died, her father left her, and her own family disowned her. Even people she once called 'friend' and even 'lover' all turned their backs on the woman and now she is desperate to hold onto the bonds she makes in fear of once again being abandoned by those she cares about.
  

• The faltering of her self image is a fear that Leona will face eventually. As mentioned above she is very protective of her pride and goes through great lengths to paint a picture of herself that is respectable. Should the image be tainted in any way she would likely become devastated.
  

IMPECCABLE VISAGE: A creature born of fire and passion she is derived from golden glory, but ever still possesses the conduct proper of overwhelming dominance. A ravishing sense of quiet discord barely humbles the reaping of her vainglorious engrossment, barbaric elegance, all calmly mantling the dipped wax of swarthy, licentious filth feasting and breeding beyond the sultry veil of empyrean elitism. Her image is everything and anything; a culture of splendor inseminated therein her noble cultivation and golden woven blood. Each blemish she finds, on those who surround her or upon herself, is viciously scrutinized, and mercilessly sacrificed to the flames and scattered into dust.

AMAZONIAN STATURE: Of considerable frame, she stands of herculean derive, toned and edged in the sharpened raze of a driving blade, primal and coiled bearing of silent wait of a crusade vindicator, an artisan of both impassioned affair and war as its contrive lines the thickened proportion of virile eminence. She towers over most men and women, her size and mass alone drawing the gaze of bystanders as they stare upon her hulking form.

CHAMPION OF SHAMBHALA: Supremacy flows through the invisible chasms of an iron moat eroded by the soft ebbing tide of chilling waters. Draped in crimson cloth and adorned in glorious, golden armor, and the iconic T shaped visor, the mark of any 'true' champion of Shambhala. Leona cherishes the armor of her great grandfather, even in her exile she holds true to the traditions and teachings instilled into her at birth~

EXOTIC MISTRESS: Rich, chocolate toned flesh glistens when exposed to the light. A woman of mesmerizing beauty and grace. Bronze colored surface complimented with flowing, blonde hair and piercing golden eyes. Her body taught and firm, her muscle rich and defined. She exist on a level all her own and in the end should one be fortunate enough to spot the Lioness unarmored may be treated to a sight some may even kill for~
