Leina Vance

Leina (レイナ originally incorrectly romanized as Reina) Vance is the middle daughter of the Vance family and the heir to the Count's throne. She runs away from home to follow in her mother's footsteps as a warrior and make her own way in the world in hopes of becoming a stronger warrior by entering the Queen's Blade Tournament. During the Rebellion, Leina dons a mask and uses the name Maria (in honor of her mother). She's put under a curse by The Swamp Witch, causing her to suffer from bouts of narcolepsy. Leina is almost exclusively adorned in armor with a distinct breastplate that gives her protection and immunity to certain demonic attacks. On her right arm and neck is a series of long brown straps wrapped around her that dangle about freely. For added protection, she carries a full-arm, armored gauntlet on her left arm with a buckler mounted on it. Rebellion Maria wears black coverings on her upper body and legs, and wears a white and blue breastplate, arm-guards, thong, and shoes. Unlimited Leina's outfit remains practically the same, but she now has longer hair. Leina is a headstrong woman, who likes to do as she wants, but is also easily led to admire others, as seen with her first encounter with Risty. She is very determined to fight, and eager to branch out and fight different opponents, so that she may become stronger to become Queen. Despite her eagerness to fight, however, she is prone to fear, and is frequently shown wetting herself in terror when an opponent overwhelms her. Rebellion Filled with sense of justice and with a bright character, she’s seen to be a fascinating person. Without exception, everyone who was saved by Maria revere her. However, she has had a "Sleep Curse" cast upon her, and not only does she need to sleep 16 hours a day, but a sudden and intense drowsiness comes to her at irregular intervals, sometimes even in the midst of battle. The number of people after her head is as great as the number of people who adore her.
