Background
Leonora used to be part of an escort fleet, the Silver Whale, one of many pirate fleets hired to protect commercial fleets. This earned them the association 'jaegers of the sea'. They walked hand in hand with danger, but Leonora says this just made them more united. The Imperial government dismantled the fleet after the October War.
She enrolls at the Thors Branch Campus in S.1206 and is placed in Class VIII: Combat Tactics. Leonora joins, and is the captain of, the Branch Campus Swimming team, where she provides a great amount of support and encouragement to Altina Orion. She doesn't think the academy is as intense or comfortable as the fleet, but isn't bad either, by her words.
Rean helps Leonora study history she isn't familiar with, which is most things not involving the sea. She also duels with and loses to Rean in a Panzer Soldat battle during training exercises.
While in Ordis, Leonora visits some of the sailors' taverns she used to frequent and cannot but feel ashamed and frustrated thinking of her old comrades on the sea, one of which is involved in illegal activities including extortion. Leonora is asked to help get through to an old comrade from the Silver Whale, Herman, who is seven years her junior and one of their best fighters. She is called in at the blockade put up and states Herman has met his match, berating his refusal to let the highs of their past go.
After the Great Twilight, Leonora travelled to Ordis. She is met again in Miranda's tavern. She says she was marked down and has not been able to move around much, regretting she couldn't join the battle around Alster. However, she does pass on rumors about Towa's captivity in the mansion. Later, she comes to their aid in the Ordis Waterway.
During preparations for the Great War, Leonora and Shirley argue on the beach. Rean intercedes, and they decide to settle things with a swimming race, 75 selge to Bryonia Island and back. It ends up in Leonora's victory.
Leonora joins the crew onboard the Courageous II and is asked to be the assistant pilot.
In Mishelam, she hangs around with Altina.
Leonora attends the Branch Campus Academy Festival. Leonora is helping to plan it with Stark and Ash as part of the executive committee. She gives directions and checks up on her swimming club. At the end, Leonora is selected to join the student council as club supervisor. Leonora is also at the tasting session for the Imperial wedding, and has the chance to try Freddy's food.
