Leda Halo is a pure-blood human who works for Mirha Simon as her Personal Assistant at the Temple of Wind in Aeroplateau.
Appearance
Leda appears to be a woman at about average height, with short, reddish brown hair and dark, slanted eyes. Her usual attire is that of a dark business suit.
Personality
Leda seems very businesslike as well as punctual, seeing as she dislikes it when Mirha is late. Being Mirha's personal assistant, Leda seems to care greatly about Mirha's well-being, and usually does things as per Mirha's instruction. However, when it comes to matters Leda feels strongly about, it seems that Leda can and will use her own judgement over Mirha's: as seen when she gave Leez Mirha's research papers,[1] despite Mirha saying that she only wanted to show them to Leez after Asha's trial was resolved.[2]
Skills and Abilities
Not much is known yet about her skills other than being able to cast bhavati kubera and teaching the spell to Leez.[3]
Plot
Season 2
Chapter 29: Isle of Myths
(1) Leda hands Mirha a data sheet filled with personal information on Leez Haias. She then asks Mirha if she will really cooperate with Saha, considering Mirha and Asha were friends back on planet Carte. Mirha responds that it was really a one-sided friendship on her part, then says she will be heading out. This prompts Leda to ask if she really wants to and if she needs any help. Mirha tells her that it wasn't necessary, and that she is getting used to her new legs. Mirha also wants to catch up on some recent events that she has apparently missed.
(5) Leda informs Mirha of how, as per Mirha's instructions, she tried to contact various temples, guilds, and academies where Leez and Asha had been; starting from Atera, as that was the first place Asha had visited with Leez. There was no response yet from the temple, but she did receive information from the guild and one of the academies, which revealed that Asha had been keeping Leez isolated in Atera, concealed from the outside world. Asha had also instructed the guild and temple employees to not talk about the red sky incident to the girl, using the excuse that she was too young to hear about a disaster like that. Mirha realizes that the information Asha was trying to conceal was not the red sky incident, but the last few people Leez knew.
(6) When Leez and Asha visit the Temple of Wind, Leez is visibly amazed by the beautiful gardens, saying that they must be difficult to maintain. Leda tells her that gardening is Mirha's hobby, and that with a single use of bhavati vayu she trims the trees and sweeps up the mess. Leda then leads them all inside, where Mirha then tells Leez that Leda will teach her bhavati kubera, and the two of them go outside.
Chapter 30: Falling Petals
(1) Leda tutors Leez on how to use bhavati kubera. Leda is curious as to how Leez managed to learn the spell on her own, and expresses that in order to teach Leez, she needs to know what mistakes are being made. Leez is reluctant to tell Leda at first; however, due to her desperation to learn the spell, she reveals how she had repeatedly jumped off a cliff to master it, and swears Leda to secrecy.
Some time later, Leda goes back to meet with Mirha, who is surprised that the lesson had gone over quickly. Mirha notes that though she was aware of Leez's great strength, she was not aware of her impressive cognitive and memorization skills. Leda feels that Leez should know the truth of what she, too, is involved in, but Mirha wants Leez to gain some emotional distance from Asha so that the truth would hurt her less. However, Leda still has her doubts concerning the defense of Asha at the trial as well as allowing Asha and Leez to associate without intervention.
(7) Back in Mirha's room at the Temple of Wind, Leda pores over a document on Kaz Lehn, which notes that he is unsuitable to become either a magician because of his Nil attributes or a fighter because of his weak constitution. Mirha then arrives and asks her where Leez is, with Leda responding that Saha had picked her up. Leda then asks about the outcome of the conference, and the two discuss the results of the case.
(8) Back at the Temple of Wind, a concerned Mirha tells Leda that Leez's situation is more serious than she had thought, and wonders what would happen if she found out the whole truth. A nervous Leda admits that she had given Leez copies of Mirha's paperwork that contained the truth behind Asha, as she believed Leez deserves to know the truth. When an upset Mirha states that she should have discussed it with her first, Leda tells her that she wanted to wait, but as Saha arrived without warning and took Leez with him, she would not have had another chance to show her the truth. Mirha faints as Leda shouts her name. At the Sky Tower, Leez thinks back to when Leda had given her the documents, telling her to keep them private and read them after the trial. Leez then begins to read the documents.
Chapter 31: Your Justice and Mine
(28) While Aeroplateau is under attack, Leda informs a barrier stone-clutching Mirha that the wind barrier has just cracked.
