Leone was a key member of the assassination group Night Raid, known for her cheerful and upbeat personality, as well as her formidable combat skills. Growing up in the slums of the Capital, Leone was recruited by the Revolutionary Army after saving a group of children from abusive nobles. She quickly proved her worth as a valuable asset to Night Raid, using her abilities to gather intelligence and confirm targets for assassination.

Leone wielded the Teigu "Lionelle," a belt that granted her enhanced strength, speed, reflexes, and regeneration, along with lion-like characteristics. Her love for a good fight and her disdain for injustice made her a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Leone often played the role of the big sister within Night Raid, providing guidance and support to younger members, especially Tatsumi.

Leone was known for her relaxed, cheerful, and sometimes boisterous personality. She often displayed a lack of ladylike manners, indulging in drinking, teasing her comrades, and showing a strong sense of camaraderie. She frequently referred to herself as "Onee-san" (Big Sis) and took on a protective role within the group.

Leone had a strong sense of justice and despised those who abused their power. Her loyalty to Night Raid and her friends was unwavering, and she wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty when it came to dealing with the Empire's corruption. Despite her rough exterior, Leone had a caring and compassionate side, particularly towards Tatsumi, whom she took under her wing.

In terms of appearance, Leone was a striking young woman with a curvaceous figure, short blonde hair with two long tufts framing her face, and golden eyes. She typically wore a revealing outfit, consisting of a black tube top, detachable sleeves with gold bands, pants, boots, and a scarf. When she activated her Teigu, Lionelle, her hair grew longer, and she gained lion-like ears, a tail, and claws, giving her a more beast-like appearance.
