Reason for being in this tournament: to prove that her way of training and her Pokemon is the best way
Legendary of Choice: Azelf
Personality: demanding, belives that hard work and training is the key to success
Likes: training, ramen, full moons
Dislikes: weaklings, spinach, cloudy nights
Fears: total darkness (as punishment for not finishing a job or working hard enough, Leira's father would put her in a dark closet.)
History: Leira lived a very rough childhood, having to work to get anything out of her mean and cruel father. this gives her the idea that only physical work can get a person anywhere in life. one day she finds this injuried Spiky-Ear Pichu and nurses it back to health, without her father's knowledge, for her father also belives that Pokemon make you weak because they do all the work for you. So one day when the Pichu (her name is Sparkette, or Sparki for short) is back in mint condition, Leira runs away from home to start her adventure.
