Nakiri Leonora

Leonora is an incredibly intelligent woman and is the current Research Division Head of Tōtsuki International. Her Japanese is a little poor, speaking in simple phrases and broken Japanese but most consider this cute. Like her daughter, Leonora has flighty expressions and has the same cartoonish eyes whenever she is teasing someone, generally Erina and Alice. She maintains a good relationship with her daughter and was patient and nurturing enough to sit through 9 hours on the phone with her daughter after the latter lost her Quarterfinal match to Sōma. However, like the rest of the Nakiri family, Leonora is very serious about the culinary industry and has an intense aura when it comes to cooking. When stating that she hoped Sōma would not disappoint her, her serious aura could be felt by the entire audience in the arena. Like her father-in-law, Leonora has a sort of "disrobing" that occurs when she eats a delicious dish. Although she does not strip, she "strips" her poor Japanese and is able to speak perfect Japanese, though only for a brief amount of time.
