The story of the character's origins
I'd Save You, But The World's Bent
───────────────────────────────────
Her Excellence Leona Marianne Vermeille belongs to a
minor House of Ishgard. Her mother, the Viscomptesse
Amelia, and their bloodline further yet, were dedicated
military adjutants of House Durendaire, and for their
service have been awarded much and more. The
Dragonsong was over by the time Leona was coming
up on adulthood, and ne'er did she properly suffer the
traditional family upbringing. They were a family of
tacticians, and Amelia won a life of leisure for her final
efforts during the waning years of the Dragonsong.
House Vermeille trained knights — and still does! — but
with the lack of any concrete military effort in Ishgard,
they have opened a Dueling Acadamae, and Amelia has
extended her attention to the world beyond.
This is where the youngest of the Vermeille sisters
comes in. A child who frequently took ill, she was not
oft seen in high society. Her manners were lacking, her
dressage was poor, and it was her terrible wont to
come to confrontation with her fellows. After a small. . .
“disappearance”, she has reappeared in Noble society,
yet often finds herself going past the Hallowed Gates
of Ishgard to seek out opportunities near and far. Hers
is an effort in finding resources, trade deals, and varying
exploitation across Hydaelyn. She has not explored all
corners of the star, but has found herself in some choice
adventures, justifying her stints of wanderlust by
retrieving something of profit for dear old Mother.
Those who speak with her should expect that she might
always try to get an angle in on something. Gil is of little
consequence, but if she can find a stable connection —
or even something of some rarity — to bring home, then
she will do her best to try and do so.
That's not to be said the young Lady Vermeille is entirely
heartless, though. Give her a chance. Have a drink. Hear
the lie of “Raszeur”, her little alter-ego of a puckish rogue,
and see, perhaps, that she might just wear her heart on
her sleeve.
What have you got to lose?

AILING Leona is dying. It is a slow death, caused by a deep seeded wasting within her. Her sickness has been one since birth, and those who are finely attuned to another's aetheric profile will notice that hers is compromised. Almost like effluvium escaping from her. Compassionate souls are sometimes drawn to her, but she tells the same thing to all of them: the Chiurgeons of Ishgard weren't able to help. Surely, they won't be able to either.
RED HANDED She's something of a kleptomaniac. It's mostly harmless, swear it! But sometimes she'll end up with a brooch, a ring, a coinpurse she has no need for. The habit has its roots in little rebellions when she was just a girl, and it's stuck with her since. Well? Go on. Get your things back.
BLUE BLOOD Nobility has its perks. And its many drawbacks. One of those being the cruel, unending rumor mill. Some might know Leona by simple virtue of being Ishgardian. The sickly noble-girl, who shirked marriage, had a queer little sting, and had a little vanishing act before she came back “corrected”. Sometimes it happens, but it is enough to earn her a somewhat ostracized reputation. So, at the end of the day? Mostly drawbacks.
SUBTERFUGE If there's anything Leona is good at, it's getting places she shouldn't be and taking things she oughtn't have. Leona is a girl who covets secrets above all else. Offer her one, and she will bite. If you're looking for someone who will get up to no good with you, a veritable partner in crime who you can trust to have her own vested interest in whatever your pursuit may be, trying dragging her along. If nothing else, she'll be very excited for the opportunity to keep busy. She values the excitement more than anything else. And, perhaps, she'll actually stoke a sense of comradery.
