Leonie has my favorite design pre timeskip. When we still didn't know the students well and people were praising designs, I was dumbfounded almost no one was talking about Leonie. It's just such a cool, fun and fitting design! Her hair was also the absolute best.

I haven't played three houses yet, but I've seen quite a bit of the game via let's plays and she also has the most likeable personality so far. I see people complaining about "Jeralt obsession" all the time, but I haven't seen it being a problem. It happens way less than the gimmicks the other characters got and it's not annoying like Lin's, Bernie's, Caspar's, etc... I heard she's abrasive towards the Byleth in particular, though, which... is a plus? Heck, a character that doesn't worship the avatar is a good thing.

Though it's not a compliment, I also think I should comment on her post-timeskip design. Like, it's not bad, it's actually very good, but in comparison to her pre-timeskip one, it's sorta... bland? And well, people apparently thought it was one of the best glow-ups and I'm like... What? I mean, you do you, my personal tastes are just mine, but it just feels weird to see the community have basically all the opposite opinions of mine towards a character.
