Biography[]

Early life[]

When Leoni was a child, she accidentally ingested contaminated water. Aditi Hilli saved Leoni's life by drawing the poison out of Leoni and into herself. This resulted in Aditi's death, which made Leoni decide to devote her life to helping other people.

She decided to join the Second Army where she could live more freely as a Grisha than in Novyi Zem. From then on she was taught her skills in poisons and metals.

After Nikolai became king, Leoni was stationed under Adrik in Fjerda as a member of Hringsa, an undercover organization that helps Fjerdan Grisha escape their country for Ravka or the Second Army. She helped by forging papers for transport, extracting poisons, and her skill in the Zemeni language.
