Nature: Calm || Free from excitement or disturbance || Peaceful

Ever since she was a young child, Leitha was quick to realize that the less she rushed things and the less of a fight she put up with others, the faster things got done. In light of this, Leitha lets things slip and goes with the flow most of the time. She's quite passive and soft spoken, acting calmly even if the situation does not call for it and offering her kindness or gentle advice to whoever requires it. Leitha is also quick to wave off threats or hostile reactions, the only exception being her cooking, as she's very sensible whenever it's brought up with ill intentions behind. On the few occasions her temper manages to get out of hand, she lashes verbally at people and whatever is the outcome of the fight, she ends up crying and retiring somewhere peaceful until she's composed herself enough to return to her activities.

Leitha grew up in a relatively normal family, with a loving father and mother who doted on their daughter at any chance they got. They were not too poor or too rich, as their source of income was a small restaurant in their possession: The Chatoyant Bayou. While it was not quite popular, it was well known thanks to the skills of her father, a talented chef with a knack for dishes with glowing algae. Leitha found herself constantly surrounded by people, as both residents and travelers came to dine, enjoying the cozy atmosphere of the building. These early interactions in her childhood prevented her from becoming a shy individual, instead warming her up to strangers or people in need.

As she grew, so did the attachment to her parents; always insisting on accompanying them whenever they went. Leitha was especially close to her mother; a woman that in her youth had been a promising dancer, but now lay bedridden due to an undiagnosed disease that no healer could treat as of yet. In little time it made her body weak, only allowing her to move around periodically; this though did little to diminish the woman's cheerfulness and while Leitha couldn't understand what was happening to her mother, she couldn't help but join in every one of her contagious moods.

Time passed by peacefully for the family, but on Leitha's fifth birthday, her mother finally let out her last breath, as her body had weakened far too much. The incident was terribly hard on the little girl, too young to understand what death was, but old enough to understand that her mother would never again grant her a warm smile. Through it all, the support and love of her father was crucial to help Leitha cope, now only having him to look up to and care for.

Giving the turn of events, Leitha decided she would follow in her father's steps; becoming a wonderful chef in the same fashion her father had. Her age or lack of skill didn't deterrent her from trying, every new mess and failure in the kitchen just meant a step closer to her dream. For a couple years, Leitha did nothing but cook, even though her father was insistent she'd take it easy. When Leitha turned fourteen, her father deemed her decent enough to cook for the restaurant and its customers.

Not long after, a wealthy businessman arrived at their restaurant, attracted by rumors of sudden popularity that father and daughter had now brought to the establishment. The man hoped to buy the place to make it part of a large chain of famous high-class restaurants, nonetheless under his name. After much negotiation, the deal was closed and Leitha and his father began to work under the prestigious man.

Leitha truly enjoyed herself during the following years, working diligently and developing an incredible speed due to the humongous line of customers that came by daily. It took her five years, but all her efforts were well spent for her fellow co-workers had started to notice her sharpened abilities. She quickly made her way up after that, finally receiving the title of Chef she desired on her nineteenth birthday.

Leitha's ability had become such that the business man chose her as his successor should anything happen to him, since his own daughter had run away to some unknown land with a conniving pirate, leaving their family not only humiliated publicly but also without a heiress. On the night the staff and the business man's family were celebrating the merry events; there was a robbery and as people were unwilling to cooperate, the bandits started to slaughter everyone inside in a frenzy of nerves. Leitha's father seeing an opening took her hand and ran with her to the restaurant's kitchen back door, but the thieves soon noticed and went after them. Once at the door, he realized they were being followed, so he pleaded to her to flee, even if that meant he would give up his own life, he'd make sure his daughter escaped safely. Even though Leitha didn't want to leave, her father pushed her out and closed the door, steeling himself for what he knew would come.

Barely escaping alive thanks to her father's sacrifice, Leitha was unsure of what to do or where to go now, after all, the restaurants were no more and finding a job would prove difficult. Wanting to find some sort of solace for her newly acquired pain, she returned to what remained of the once beautiful Chatoyant. There, she sat down by the sandy beach and couldn't help but reminisce about the past. She was so lost on the vast ocean that she didn't notice a young woman approaching.

Startled out of her reverie by the woman's calls of concern, she quickly reassured the lady of her well-being; the woman though wouldn't leave, instead asking what she was doing around the place. Leitha quickly related the events of the previous night and when she finished, none of them spoke for a long while. The woman was the first to break their silence by introducing herself as Muriel, and then stated her business in the ruined restaurant plus the connection to her family. Now aware that Muriel's father had chosen this girl as his successor, Muriel offered her a job aboard her pirate ship: The Sonata; seeing as her situation was no better. Not having any other option, Leitha gladly accepted, and joined the crew as their new chef.

• When on the ship, she's always seen with a frypan on hand, even if not inside the kitchen.
• She's not aware her chosen apparel is not customary for a pirate ship... but let the people she's constantly panty-flashing be the judges of that.

Leitha has been under Muriel's wing for a total of four years and has grown to admire and respect the strong-willed woman, whom she looks up to as an older sister.

Quartermaster || Damien © daypoo
She gets along well with Damien, sharing a sort of sisterly relationship with him, but if his behavior gets out of hand she won't hesitate to hit him with her frypan. Sometimes they go buy groceries together, though for one reason or another, they end up having mishaps with the residents of the area.
