LEONDRA CHERIE
124 years old

Protector of King Belzeneff

Leondra is the sister of Pempan [originally Leocadia] and the childhood friend of Belzeneff. Her father and Belantino were good friends, so she and Belzeneff often played together as they were growing up. When Belantino was assassinated and his wife took the throne, her family relocated to the East to stay with some family there and was safe from Bellarose's evil. 9 years later, when Belzeneff killed his mother and became Prince, she and her sister returned to the Main City to see Belzeneff, while their parents remained in the East. They were unable to reunite with Belzeneff, since he was off fixing what his mother destroyed, but they stayed in the city anyway, getting jobs in the meantime. It wasn't until 7 years later did Leondra meet with Belzeneff again, and by that time, he hardly remembered her. However, Leondra was determined to stay in Belzeneff's life and met up with him occasionally, going out to dinner or to see a show. It was during one of these shows that Belzeneff met Deianria Tyyrell, a dancer who stole his attention away and Leondra became enraged. She had been in love with Belzeneff ever since they were children, and she wasn't going to let some dancer get in her way. She insulted Deianria constantly and would always find ways to break up her and Belzeneff's dates, like faking an injury and asking Belzeneff to take care of her, or getting a dark wizard to curse Deianria with bad fortune or something like that. To her horror, Deianria announced that she was pregnant with Belzeneff's child and Leondra became absolutely insane. She moved away from the Main City for a while, so that she wouldn't have to deal with Belzeneff being a father to another woman's child, and took up a job in the South.

She created an animal foundation that protected animals from going extinct, because while humans constantly let her down, animals were always there for her. But a short 9 months later, after talking with her sister who had stayed in the Main City and was very close to Belzeneff's Protector, Pemperknackle Abernathy, she was told that Deianria had been banished, along with his child. With that bitch out of the way, Leondra's anger subsided --afterall, she was never truely mad with Belzeneff, just Deianria-- and returned to the Main City, leaving her foundation in the hands of someone else. She had a fantasy of her returning to Belzeneff and finally confessing her feelings to him, getting married and having children with him and living the perfect life as Queen. But all this came crashing down when she met Valentia, Belzeneff's new love interest. And worst off, Belzeneff actually seemed to love her, instead of just a simple infatuation like with Deianria. This fit of anger sent her up to the North, where she became a patrol officer in the labor camps. On her days off, she would climb the frozen mountains and collect rare treasures from the caves, sending them back to Leocadia so that she could sell them in the City for a high profit. She also began training with her magic and hand-to-hand combat, letting out her anger through fighting. Her time in the North had turned her into a fearless warrior, and when news reached her that Belzeneff and Valentia had gotten married, she didn't even bat an eyelid.

But when word reached the North that Belzeneff had been attacked, Leondra left her job at the camp and returned to the city to be by his side. She was furious as Valiant and Pemperknackle, who had become her brother-in-law during her time in the North, for not doing their job properly. It was then that she decided that if she couldn't be married to Belzeneff, she's do the next best thing and protect him. She used all of the tricks that she learned while training in the North to earn her a Protector position, and Belzeneff instantly promoted her to his personal guard. Being in such a close proximity with him all day was like a dream come true for Leondra and she successfully managed to seduce him away from his loyalty to his wife. Their relationship was kept a secret and the only ones who knew about it was Pemperknackle and Pempan, who both had more loyalty to Belzeneff then the Queen and never told her. With Belzeneff finally at her side, Leondra's tough exterior faded and she became noticeably kinder to those around her. Even her jealousy over the Queen stopped, because while she may have had him legally, Leondra had him in private with no one around to butt into their relationship. Their secret relationship continued for the next ten years and then Leondra discovered that she was pregnant. Overjoyed at the thought of having a child with Belzeneff, even before his own wife, she retired from being his Protector and concentrated on having a safe pregnancy. Unlike Deianria, Belzeneff did not push her away and even gave her a better house than the one she lived in before, closer to the castle and furnished with luxurious items. Of course, all this was kept from the Queen and the public.

His second son, Beleon Black, was born but was documented as Leon Cherie, to avoid getting found out. Leondra raised him by herself, using the money she had saved up from her time as a Protector, and Belzeneff even helped out sometimes. He came to visit them at least twice a month, telling his wife that he was going to a different city for political reasons. Leondra thought it was perfect, even if she hadn't become Queen, because she still had Belzeneff's child. All this changed, however, when the Queen gave birth to the twins, Belzeneff's first legitimate heirs and his visits became less frequent, more preoccupied with his new children rather than Leondra's son. 2 years after the birth of the twins, Leondra was kicked out of the city by Demetrios, who was concerned that her jealousy would get in the way and that she would end up telling someone about her son's true parentage. She pleaded with Belzeneff to let her stay, that she wouldn't say anything, but Belzeneff ignored her and let Demetrios' men physically drag her and Beleon out of the city.

Leondra and her son returned to the animal reserve in the South and he grew up there. But after Belzeneff threw her away, Leondra changed for the worst and became much more strict towards her son and even beat him a couple of times. As soon as he was old enough to take care of himself, Leondra left him at the reserve and moved away without telling anyone where she was going. She thought about going back to the Main City, but instead, she moved the West and became a Hunter, tracking down legendary creatures and killing them, selling their skins and meat in the Underground markets. She didn't return to the Main City until years later, surprised to find that her son had become a Knight and went under a new name, Paravel Barrastian. She made him swear to never talk to her in public and from then on, they were strangers to one another. That was the last time that she talked to her son, because he died 6 years later at the tender age of 41. She didn't attend his funeral and never mentioned him again after that.

She became one of Belzeneff's Protectors again 25 years ago. She joined the unit again though the Council and since they never put her name on the exile list, she was rehired and Pemperknackle helped her arrange a private meeting with Belzeneff. He was surprised to see her again and thought she was there to reveal his illegitimate child to everyone, but she wasn't. Despite everything, she still only had nothing but love for Belzeneff and promised that if she became his Protector again, she would give his life to him. She became his Protector at age 100, 5 years before her son's death. She never talked about him and Belzeneff never asked about him, so they both don't say anything about their son Beleon.

She remains fiercely loyal to the King and still has her jealousy towards the Queen.[/center]
