This article has recently been converted to the new character-focused layout but it needs a lore enthusiast to help fill-out the sections. In addition, 'Relations trivia' and 'Lore trivia' have been moved here but need restructuring into article content - lore is no longer trivia. If you're eager to help but would like to reference a completed character article: Aurelion Sol, Jinx, Mel, and Viego are excellent. |

Solari who defends 
Mount Targon with her 
Zenith Blade and 
Shield of Daybreak. Her skin shimmers with starfire while her eyes burn with the power of the celestial Aspect within her. Armored in gold and bearing a terrible burden of ancient knowledge, Leona brings enlightenment to some, death to others.

Recent events
Appearance
Leona is a tall, beautiful woman with lightly tanned skin, light brown eyes, and back-length shiny auburn hair.
Her attire consists of red and gold Solari armor that covers her entire body, a spiked golden crown on her head, and she always carries her sword and shield.
Personality
Leona is a Solari quite devoted to her religion, so she is always willing to give her life in the name of the sun and her people, which makes her quite loyal, she is also a very warm soul like the sun with all people, especially with her best friend Diana, who is the one Leona respects the most within the solari.
When Diana left with the Lunari, Leona was emotionally shattered as she could not bear Diana's betrayal, many Solari demanded her head due to this betrayal, but Leona adamantly refused to kill her friend as no matter what powers she has, she still loves her suggesting that Leona feels more than friendship towards Diana.
Powers and Abilities
Solari Physiology: Although Leona appears human, living so close to the mystical energies of Mount Targon enhanced many of her attributes, such as increased strength, speed, agility, physical or magical resistance, and exceptional longevity.
- Aspect Empowerment: Leona has been chosen as a Aspect's Host, empowering her with celestial magic correspondent with the Aspect's role. In Leona's case, she's been chosen by the Aspect of the Sun.
- Enhanced Physical Powers: The Ascension into an Aspect has greatly increased Leona's strenght, ressistance and durability to the levels of superhuman, far above any mortal.
- Solar Power: Leona can command the power of the Sun to her wishes. She can call fourth solar energy to create light, summon sunfire to burn her foes and create powerful barriers of solar energy. Her weapons, being connected to the Aspect, can by empowered by the energy of the Sun.
- Master Swordsman: Leona was already a great warrior in the use of the sword, many Solari lost to her, making her the most powerful swordsman of all the Solari, rivaled only by Diana.
Relations
Diana
Despite their disagreements, 
Diana and Leona were close friends and lovers growing up on Mount Targon, but have since became enemies after becoming Aspects. The two expressed romantic interest during the Festival of the Nightless Eve.
- Leona saw the moment Diana was imbued with the moon's power, she rushed to help before being imbued with the the sun's power herself and made an Aspect.
Pantheon
Atreus climbed Mount Targon to find the power of Aspects when Leona refused to destroy the trespassers that attacked his patrol. After he defeated 
Aatrox and became the new Aspect of War, he opposes her and other Targonian Aspects.
- Leona would not move against the Barbarians because she knew Aatrox was slaughtering them, which Atreus would only understand later on.[1]
Soraka
Soraka refers to Leona as Woman whose face burned like the sun
Aphelios and Alune
As the champion of the Solari, Alune sees Leona as the Lunaris' ultimate enemy. However, like most of the Lunari, she is not necessarily hostile towards Leona or the Solari.

Biography
Starring Champion
Short Story • 4 Minute Read
The raiders attacked before dawn; fifty wolf-lean men in iron hauberks mantled with strange furs and bearing ash-dulled axes. Their steps were swift as they entered the settlement at the foot of the mountain. These were men who had fought as brothers for years, who lived in the heartbeat between life and death. A warrior in battered scale armor and bearing a heavy-bladed greatsword over his shoulder led them. Beneath his dragon-helm, his face was bearded and raw, burned by a lifetime of war-making under a harsher sun than this.
Starring: Leona

Short Story
Halfway Between the Stars and Earth
It was a perfectly good night for a cup of tea. Chilly, certainly, but clear—as crisp a night as frigid Mount Targon ever got, really. Soraka was expecting a visitor. The snow in the stone kettle had already begun to melt over the hearth at the center of her little yurt; as it grew warmer, the room was suffused with the smell of dried tea leaves and sparse mountain herbs.
