babe, there's something tragic about you, something so magic about you. there's something lonesome about you, something so wholesome about you. leonora gyldenløve humphrey
“— some people, i swear…” hyejin muttered once more, shamelessly placing her hand on leo’s behind to hurry her. if she was playing the part, she might as well make it believable, right ?? it’s not like she had never done that before – on the contrary, actually. the palm of her hand was very well acquainted with this part of the other woman’s body. “are you still sure that you have no idea why i hate the entirety of mankind ??” a rhetorical question; jin just wanted to fill the otherwise loud place with some form of banter, for the change of atmosphere’s sake.
“disgusting – do it again,” she recalled, pointing at her cheek with her index finger, “that, and at least five shots of tequila when we go out later…” it might have sounded like a suggestion, but her voice was stern. she believed that she had earned it. subjecting herself to any kind of affection from the person she had confusingly platonic feelings for had always felt quite… nauseating. not unwelcome, though. strange, definitely strange, but she could live with it. “— an easy target, that one.”
as they walk away from the nosy stranger, leonora can’t help but look over her shoulder and give the man a very much sarcastic goodbye wave, soon followed with her best death glare. as soon as the guy awkwardly looked away, she cackled to herself. nothing’s quite as good as messing with people. “i never needed to know why, i hate it, too.” the blonde shrugs.
“you know i will,” leo says with a playful wink towards hyejin. “oh, tequila, i’m not opposed. you do know i won’t be buying, but neither will you, so.” the vampire states, not giving it too much thought and knowing jin would understand in a milisecond. “aren’t all men easy targets for hot women like us?” she has a point.
and in she comes, the princess herself. oddly enough, hyejin’s expression didn’t change in the slightest – but, was anyone surprised at this point ?? she didn’t think so. the other’s greeting was met with the slightest raise of the corner of jin’s lips. again, not a new thing.
“see ?? i was not lying,” she grumbled in the direction of the noisy bystander, seconds before turning to leonora, “honey, can you believe this dude thought i was being disrespectful to you ??” a gentle chuckle, followed by a sharp intake of breath as she tried to reason with herself whether it was worth causing a scene or not. hyejin then shot a knowing look in her friend’s way, letting her decide – it was like they were asking for it, weren’t they ??
“— it’s on me, i believe that you will sponsor the next one…” finally, a smirk made an appearance on her lips. “you know what i like, don’t you ??”
leonora knew how to be real polite when she wanted to (or when she had to, of course), and most of the time, that’s how it went with most people. she would rather people think she’s quiet and kind than know how much of a bitchy mess she is. it’s better that way, they don’t expect all that much from her.
at first she fakes outrage at the stranger, taking her hand to her chest and shaking her head. “you, sir, should mind your own business.” leo turns to jin, smiles at her friend then leans in to kiss her cheek. “now let’s go, skank.” she takes hyejin by the arm, taking her to their usual table.
“fair enough.” she quirks her eyebrows. “are you insane?! of course i know.”
a cold hand pressed to her temple, gently massaging it in an attempt not to get annoyed again. how did she manage to put up with such individual ?? jin had little to no idea, but she wasn’t going to question it when she was standing in the line to get the coffee for two. thank god leonora hung up before she could say something back.
nevertheless, the person standing by her side seemed to have some kind of issue with the way she talked to her friend, “— what ??” hyejin asked, feigning politeness, “she’s a bitch and she knows it. what do you mean ‘it’s not the right way to talk to your spouse’ ?? she calls me a hoe, so it’s only fair…” she trailed off, shrugging her shoulders just a little. they were dumbfounded. good. it’s the exact reaction she was expecting. while not incorrect, hyejin still had some manners and deciding not to delve any deeper, she just turned her back to them.
leo marched in quick steps towards hers and jin’s usual coffee place. she had no doubt the woman would perfectly order her coffee for her and pick their favorite table, even if it meant she had to kick someone’s butt for it. upon approaching the location just a few minutes later, leonora eyed hyejin through the glass that separated the store’s indoor from outdoor, giving her best friend the finger before opening up the door.
“hey, ya punk hoe.” she greeted in a mocking way as she reached jin, playfully elbowing her arm. “how much was it?” leo spoke, already reaching for her coffee and dragging it near her so she could taste it. yup, jin had nailed that order. not that leonora had doubted her.
“— do you want your coffee or are you still being a bitch ??” a somewhat annoyed huff emmited from hyejin after asking the woman for the third time in the row. to be completely honest, jin kind of… zoned out when leonora started ranting about something not important – it wasn’t an unusual thing for the risen witch to do. she had the tendency to stop listening whenever someone’s voice was getting slightly high-pitched. it usually meant they were talking nonsense, and she was not just having it.
“i better see your ass here in ten, otherwise i’m going to go alone, it’s not negotiable,” hyejin stated, earning some glares from bystanders. she couldn’t help but knit her brows together, entering a some kind of staring contest with the closest person. // @rcyaltiies
leonora held her phone on her ear with her shoulder as the struggled around the house in the incessant look for her keys. meanwhile, she went on and on about the memorial and about how she was so annoyed that they happened to come back to layter’s cross before returning to denmark. “i’m still being a bitch,” she shot back, not giving hyejin a second to think. “but i do want my coffee.”
“AHA!” leo exclaimed, finally getting her keys from the unusual location of the fruit bowl and darting out of the apartment. “i’m coming, i’m coming! just closing down the shop. see you soon.” she didn’t wait for the other’s answer before hanging up the call and hurrying up to get out of home, close the store and head to the cafe.

BACKGROUND OVERVIEW.
leonora was born in 1619, the daughter of king christian iv of denmark - an illegitimate daughter, however.
her human life was rather complicated and filled with running away and hiding, but the whole thing gets back to the fact that eventually she was legitimized by her father and made a princess, who married a wealthy duke heir named niels, with whom she had two children.
she was turned into a vampire after a ball night with her husband years after being made a legitimate princess, but they both managed to hide their new nature for a couple of months.
when they were discovered by her people within the court, who saw them as beasts, they were forced to flee with their two children, and from them on, they had to pretend to be other people. leonora even pretended to be a man for a couple years.
at one point, people who were looking for them were so close that leonora and niels chose to give their children to adoption (hardest choice she ever had to make, btw).
and soon after that, they were separated by a force of fate. they never got to see each other again for hundreds of years, and the one time leo did find niels, she couldn’t reach out to him.
she’s been all over throughout the years, but the longest she stayed in one place was 19th century brazil, where she stayed for 57 years (having been there on the 17th century too, for a brief period of time).
now, leonora decided to use her real name again (it’s been long enough), but is posing as an english record store owner in layter’s cross as she actually is a bit of a con-artist on the side
CHARACTER PERSONALITY.
people who don’t really know her might look at her and think she’s just a naive, quiet girl, but leonora’s got a whole freaking hurricane inside her??
several years of constant heartbreak does that to a person, yk
she’s actually very cunning and can be that kind of person who tricks others, but is also very generous to those in need
pretty much obsessed with researching everything that people have written about her (and her family) and to people who don’t know who she is, she says she has a history degree and is crazy about danish monarchy...
she loves reading every crazy (or on point) theory about the ‘missing princess of denmark’ - aka, herself.
leo is a little lonely at times, and she deals with being alone well, but loneliness will eat you from the inside out, if you know what i mean, so there’s that
she’s very easy to befriend, but most her friendships are superficial as she doesn’t want to have people too close to her only to have to flee again when she draws suspicious eyes towards herself
cutie with a booty, btw, and super fun to hang around?? not that im biased or anything, clearly……….
SHE’S COOL, OKAY?! THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME.
if you wanna plot connections with her (plssss), lemme know by liking/replying to this or you can just hit me up yourself? i’m open to all sorts of shit right now!
