Lesli

"If anyone wusses out and wants healing, just yell. I'll help... probably."

- Lesli, on her duties as a healer

Lesli is a young and quirky mage who was driven out of Jeitia for her exceptionally unstable abilities. She is one of the first members of R.I.F.T. as well as one of the first Parody-users, alongside Cadence.

Appearance
Lesli is a Popopo with a navy body, cobalt feet, bespectacled yellow eyes, and short-cut rose hair. She often wears a black and cobalt witch's hat with various trinkets hanging from the brim or pinned on, including an old Player's Pin and one half of a broken heart-shaped charm.

Abilities
As a Magic elemental, Lesli can perform her magical techniques such as healing allies or fortifying their armor with even less difficulty than others, making her a more adept healer than others her age. The loss of her family and home also allows Lesli to wield a Parody freely, and she can call upon it when required in combat. For example, by channeling her initial Parody - Medea, a Light/Poison elemental - in battle, Lesli can burn enemies with searing sunlight or poison them. She can also summon Medea herself to attack with a sacrificial knife.

Backstory
Although it is never specified how it happened, Lesli's magical powers went out of control and killed her whole family when she was nine. She was accused of murder and forced to leave her hometown. During her time on the run, she met Tempo, who offered her a job that would make her a hero. Seeing no reason to refuse, she agreed to his offer, which resulted in her joining R.I.F.T. as its first field medic.

Personality
Lesli is unfocused and distant, oftentimes outright saying what's on her mind without caring for how others will react. She often reacts to events in a lazy manner, making her difficult to scare, but is in no way a natural leader because of her dismissive attitude towards mortality. She also has difficulty remembering names.

Cadence
Cadence sees Lesli as an interesting case of a sapient being who has a soul, but refuses to use it. Lesli, on the other hand, somehow missed the memo that said Cadence has no soul, and simply thinks that she acts so cold and serious that it's pitiful, and almost silly, to watch.

Trivia

 * Lesli's basic appearance and personality, as well as some of her skills and backstory, are based on Chloe, a War Magus from Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold.
