[hider=Description]
[b]• Physique:[/b] Leona’s build most resembles the typical classification of a mesomorph’s, as she gains muscle quite easily, has an hourglass body shape, and is relatively broad shouldered, among other traits. She has taken advantage of her body type, too, and she is very muscular, especially for a woman of her time period. Because of this, she relies less on speed in combat and more on pure, brute strength, and the training she’s put herself through as well as natural ability has made her quite flexible. Her constitution is remarkably good, as she is capable of taking a lot of damage in a fight before finally going down, although injuries will slow her down and make her own attacks progressively weaker and less accurate. Leona’s pain tolerance and threshold are both higher than the average person’s, although they’re not particularly remarkable. She is more or less evenly proportioned, and her features are smooth and slightly rounded. She has an oval face shape, and has a somewhat wider and slightly high forehead, and her jawline, while well-defined, is neither strong nor weak looking. Her cheekbones are of an average height, but are more prominent than the average individual’s, which gives her a severe-looking countenance when she’s angered by something. Her nose is a bit on the smaller side, and is rounded at the end, giving it a ‘soft’ shape. Her face does not quite match the rest of her body, and people generally have a difficult time guessing her age (her face looks younger, but the rest of her body suggests her ‘real’ age).

[b]• Height:[/b] 5’9”

[b]• Hair:[/b] Leona’s hair is a light caramel color with reddish-auburn highlights, and it’s slightly wavy, silky, and fine in terms of texture. It’s rather long as well, as the majority of it is about waist-length, though, by some miracle, she typically takes very good care of it, and it’s almost always clean - it most always meets the Renaissance’s requirements of ‘clean’, anyways. She’ll wear it down on occasion, but it is rare that she does so, as it has a tendency to get in her way when she tries to do much of anything, so she most commonly keeps it styled in some intricate braids or buns. However, when engaged in her ‘secret’ pastime, Leona opts for a tightly wound but spread out, slightly messy bun that she wears unconventionally low for the times, and she usually keeps it secured underneath the anonymity of a visored helm. 

[b]• Eyes:[/b] Her eyes are a bright, cool hazel color, though the brown ’tones’ of her eyes seem to be a bit more prevalent than the green ones. They typically have a reserved and detached look to them during her ‘regular’ days, and her expression seldom changes, making her quite hard to read. But that bored, ‘dead fish’ look gets replaced by a ferocious fire and determination when she’s out engaging in activities that she actually enjoys.

[b]• Skin:[/b] Leona’s skin is a lighter shade of olive, but it is a few shades darker than that of most of her family members, as she is not a traditional upper class woman. She does freckle somewhat, although not very noticeably, and she sunburns rather infrequently.

[b]• Scars / Markings / Etc.:[/b] She doesn’t have many scars at all, considering her position in society, and the ones she does have she goes to great lengths to keep hidden. She has a light, barely noticeable scar on her right forearm from a mission she went out on, which only scarred over because she tried to treat it herself, though this is almost always well-hidden under dress or uniform sleeves. She also has an inch long scar on her right side, just a few inches above her hip, which actually came from a training session gone wrong, and it’s slightly hypertrophic in nature. She has no other markings worthy of note, nor is she the type to have any sort of tattoos, or piercings. 

[b]• Clothing Description:[/b] Leona dresses as one would expect someone of her class to - richly and quite impractically for daily activities. It is less of a preference and more of a responsibility, however, as wearing anything else would be an ‘embarrassment’ to her family. However, she also opts for as loose and non-form-fitting dresses as she can, as she tries her hardest to hide her fit, muscular frame from other members of her family. The dresses she wears are always crafted from expensive fabrics such as silks, lace, velvet, among many other kinds of fabrics - and sometimes her dresses consist of tasteful amalgamations of such textiles. These dresses usually reach all the way to the floor length-wise, and, true to the times, they’re rather tight around the bodice, but also have ‘bishop’ sleeves and ridiculously voluminous skirts - and the latter of those two things are essential in helping Leona hide her ‘unusually’ fit figure. The necklines of her dresses are also often on the lower side, to her slight dismay, although they vary in cut. They’re almost always have some embroidery on them, and quite a few are heavily embroidered with costly gold and silver thread, although she refuses to wear anything that’s ridiculously ornate and draws the line at dresses with gems sewn into them. She also has a good few high-quality cloaks that are as equally elegant as her dresses, but she favors one of them in particular. This particular cloak is a chocolate color, which was made from bear fur and lined with similarly colored silk on the inside, and there are no superfluous decorations on it, making it look less effeminate and showy than her other ones. However, she wears this one the least as Leona, but, rather, wears it when on duty as ‘Lazzaro’. When she’s masquerading around as her alias, she never wears anything except for the typical Templar guard’s armor, complete with the helm, visor down. She takes keeping her identity secret very seriously, and has yet to slip up in a way she hasn’t been able to easily fix.

• Weapons: As herself, Leona doesn’t have any ‘real’ weapons, although she managed to convince her uncle to allow her to keep a small and mostly ornamental dagger on her person for protection. The bade is about three and a half inches long, and the hilt is four, and the blade and the ‘backbone’ of the hilt are made from very high-grade steel. However, the majority of the hilt is made up of ivory, and encrusted with rubies and pearls arranged in a delicate floral design, and, on its pommel, her family crest is embossed in gold-gilded steel. The scabbard is of a similar design, and it is hardly the most comfortable weapon to wield, nor is it an incredibly practical one.
