Name: Leanora Winkle, first name sometimes shortened to Lea

Age: 19

Race: Human of Bree

Gender: Female

Weapons: She has a light hunting bow made of fir. The bow is made for hunting birds and rabbits and other small animals. Leanora has acquired the bow from her favourite uncle Mat, a carpenter, who gave it to her when she turned 12. Leanora also has a knife she usually carries everywhere and setting on a journey like the one she's to face, she has also taken a wooden wandering staff with her.

Appearance:
Leanora's hair is chestnut colour, long and wavy. Usually she does not tie it in any way, so it can be pretty tangled at times. Leanora has big, dark brown eyes and an oval-shaped freckled face. She has thin lips and slightly big front teeth.

Leanora is heavier-built than her slim brother and relatively strong for a woman of her age. Leanora prefers red and green in her clothing. Sometimes, especially when she was younger, she shocks people by going around in men's clothes, because she does not like wearing skirts and finds them impractical. If she's to go to the wilderness, she's definitely going to wear trousers.

Personality:
Leanora is easy-going, playful, mischevious and curious, but responsible and dutiful as well. She can also be quite serious at times. (See the history-part for more.)

History: Leanora and her twin brother Ash were born on a clear winter morning nineteen years ago. Ash, being some half an hour older than his sister, was the firstborn of the family. Later, Leanora and Ash got a little brother whom their parents named Orin. Leanora, Ash and Orin's father was a farmer and their mother a farmer's wife.
Leanora used to be a dashing, tomboy-ish girl, preferring boys' company on most occasions and being too often in trouble. She spent a lot of time with her twin brother and the other boys who lived nearby, playing in the woods and meadows near their home. Her parents have never been strict with her and she was nver taught too much women's work, beacuse she was disinterested in them. Instead, Leanora has helped her father with her twin brother in the farm work.

As she grew older she started befriending girls as well, but her adventurous and slightly mischevious spirit did not vanish. Leanora has always been outgoing, friendly, playful, curious and a little nasty. However, when her mother fell seriously ill two years ago, she was forced to grow up. As the only woman of the household she had to take up the household chores her mother had always been taking care of. Also, even though she recieved help from her aunt and sometimes from even her father or her twin brother, Leanora was the one to take care of her ill mother. The year of her mother's sickness and her passing away had a great effect on her. There is a seriousness in her eyes that was not there before. Nowadays Leanora does women's work and wears women's clothes without grumbling. She's less childish and less fickle. People who used to know her sometimes wonder where has the crazy, daring, rascal girl gone. The ones who truly know her know that the rascal girl has gone nowhere, she's just grown up to a bit more serious and responsible young woman.

Leanora looked out of the window, watching a crow fly in the sky. She was deep in thought and hardly listened to the Mayor's words. It was not that she wasn't interested - she was - but the Mayor's speech was very dull and there was nothing new for her as the Mayor's daughter, Jinna, had already told her the latest news.

Leanora was thinking about the issue. Many people had lost animals, mostly sheep. Leanora and her brother's friend Jock had lost his dear dog. What kind of beast can it be? Papa had suggested that the killers were ordinary wolves, who had just become more aggressive, but Leanora couln't agree. It wasn't a satisfactory explanation. Old stories of hill trolls and even more horrible beats of the wilderness kept danicng in her head.

Suddenly Leanora noticed Ash springing up. "Sir, Leanora and I would be happy to be of any help to the lands and people of Bree. Count us in", he said in a steady voice. Leanora cast a quizzical look at him. He sat down and smiled his apologetic smile. Leanora rolled her eyes. Ash never asks my opinion because he always thinks he can assume what I think, Leanora thought, a bit grumpily. Ash looked at her. "Lea?" he asked, looking slightly worried. He seemed to wonder if he had mistaken her feelings about the matter. "It seems we're going, then", she said and grinned. How could her brother have even slightly doubted her love for adventures?
