Leila Peron

Leila Peron (レイラ・ピエローニ Reira Pierōni?), known as "Number 23", is the older sister of Homer Peron and a shocktrooper in Gallian Army Squad 422. She is domineering and self-righteous, and likes to call herself "Queen of the Continent." She was first revealed on the 100th post of the official Valkyria Chronicles blog, interrupting a conversation between her brother and Edy Nelson. In the Japanese version, her family name is written as Pieroni. A sadist by nature, Leila was inspired by the weak-willed personality possessed by her younger brother Homer to better him through whatever means necessary, including physical punishment. Not satisfied with just her brother, Leila made it her personal mission to "educate" each and every "worthless man" in Europa. After her commanding officer in the Gallian military was on the receiving end of this education, however, she was immediately transferred to serve in Squad 422. However errant her methods may be, she still firmly believes that she can make the world a better place, and that the first step towards her continent-wide reeducation is a state of peace. So adamant is she that she once demanded that a group of Imperial troops bring her Maximilian so she could convince him to put an end to the Gallian invasion. As a member of the Nameless, Leila quickly took to using her riding crop on squad-mate Alfons Auclair.
