Character: Leila Fandom: Fire Emblem (The Blazing Sword) Character Notes: History: One thousand years ago, a war called the Scouring raged across the world of Elibe. The humans and the dragons, who had lived in peace for generations, fought to force each other from the world. Eventually, the dragons were forced into another world through the Dragon's Gate by eight heroes wielding eight Divine Weapons and sealed away.
One of the heroes, Roland, founded a group of allied provinces known as the Lycian League. The ruling province - the one that took the lead when the League needed to work together - was Ostia. And Leila worked for the Marquess of Osita as a spy, one of the best. Her past was somewhat mysterious, but she was one of House Ostia's most trusted agents. She even had something of a relationship with Matthew, a fellow spy.
Leila was ordered to infiltrate the assassin group known as the Black Fang. Originally, they had been a group that worked exclusively to bring down corrupt leaders, but over time their morals had inexplicably changed - at the same time as several mysterious people had inserted themselves into the organization, working under the dark sorcerer Nergal. She was investigating the disappearance of Marquess Pherae, who dark rumors connected to the shadowy organization.
She had been assigned to serve one of the interlopers, an enigmatic man called Ephidel, who orchestrated the takeover of Caelin by the power-hungry Marquess Darin of Laus. She was the one assigned to finally dispose of Marquess Caelin, but she smuggled him into a secret inner room while the Marquess's granddaughter Lyndis led an army to defeat the usurper's captain. Afterward, while Darin and Ephidel fled, she led Lyndis to where she had hidden him, and reported to her allies, Eliwood and Hector, what she'd found out about the Fang.
Leila continued to follow Ephidel as he and Darin fled to the organization's base on the Dread Isle. Sadly, though, she was caught eavesdropping on Ephidel when he was receiving orders from Nergal, and the morph set the Fang's best assassin, the emotionless killer Jaffar, to kill her. Her body was left out in the woods as a "warning" for Eliwood and Hector's group - which, unsurprisingly, backfired spectacularly. She was buried on the Dread Isle, leaving Hector, Matthew and the others all the more determined to thwart Nergal's plans.
Leila is here taken from Laus at the beginning of her infiltration of the Black Fang (just before the beginning of Eliwood's and Hector's story); her death still lies sometime in the future. Personality: Leila is a consummate spy, and even when not about her work, she tends to be quiet, cautious, and collected, able to keep up a facade and a straight face even in the most tense and dangerous of situations and slip into a variety of roles and apparent moods as the situation demands.
When she feels at liberty to relax, though, she lightens up easily, showing a sardonic sense of humor and an optimistic attitude despite the rigors of her job. She's extremely loyal to House Ostia, but that doesn't stop her from enjoying the thrill of her job as well.
Leila loves Matthew deeply; his name the last thing she says as he dies. If she had lived long enough for him to propose retiring and marrying, it's very unlikely she wouldn't have accepted. Other: Leila is a thief and spy. So she's good at lying, sneaking, stealing, and generalized infiltration, and at striking weak points. She is, however, completely nonmagical. Leila will recall her previous time on the community, though it may be a little hazy and I don't even know if any of her previous CR is still around.

First Person (entry type): You know, It seems to me that I'd be better off if the community vested itself in something I could carry around more easily. This computer thing is quite fantastic on its own, but I can't hep wondering if some world out there has made… smaller ones. I can hardly lug a heavy pair of boxes around everywhere in case I want to post from somewhere beside my room.
So, community. Are there worlds with very small computers such as one might actually carry around comfortably? Because you know I can't bear to be away from you all again after so long.
Third Person: Leila lurked in the shadows of the hall. Privately, she had to admit she was a little amused despite the high stakes. Marquess Laus, gaping at the defeat of his knight captain, quailing under the strength of Ephidel's personality, dancing for him like a puppet despite his hunger for power. And Ephidel… even hidden behind his dark cloak and his quiet voice, he was awfully dramatic. She watched as Ephidel ordered Darin to retreat and the rebellious nobleman scurried off like a rat.
It seemed Ephidel shared her opinion of Darin. "Pathetic imbecile… Leila? Where are you?"
"I'm here," she replied, stepping out of the shadows. Two or three orders to give… Well, this seemed like her chance.
"While Eliwood is occupied," Ephidel instructed, "finish off Marquess Caelin and hide the body…" As he explained his reasoning, she had to admit it made sense. She knew enough of Lord Eliwood, if mostly through Hector, to know that Eliwood almost certainly would prioritize an old man's body over a fleeing enemy. Never mind that Lady Lyndis was with him, and she even more so would want to find her grandfather's remains. But they wouldn't be remains - not if she had anything to say about it. The knife in Lord Hausen's back had been done well enough, especially for an amateur, but even in his frail state the old man wouldn't die if he got quick enough treatment. And there were loyal servants in Castle Caelin still, who could at least stabilize the Marquess until the army outside made it in and a real healer could see to him.
All these thoughts flashed through her mind quickly, even as she nodded her head. All she said aloud was, "As you command…"
She turned to leave, but froze when Ephidel addressed her again. "You know, you've only been with the Black Fang a short while." Really. All that scheming intelligence and you still state the obvious? "However, you are quite skilled… I look forward to watching you."
"Yes, sir." She picked up the frail old body as Ephidel slipped out, shifting to press a fold of her cloak against the wound to keep at least a bit of pressure on as she carried him. So he would be watching her, would he? Well, that would be interesting. They could see who would watch whom more closely.
