What does Leona think of Crowley in general?
i think i explained it before in one of my last posts but I will try to elaborate it to the best of my abilities
like all of the student Leona hold a low opinion of Crowley, Leona does not respect crowly viewing him as incompetent and considers him as lazy, greedy, and prone to abandoning his responsibilities and a fame obsessed administrator who exploits the student’s crisis
Leona views Crowleys overarching decisions as biased and frustratingly incompetent he views crowley as an incompetent and highly suspicious ruler who constantly shirks his duties.
Leona views Crowley with deep suspicion, annoyance and outright disrespect, he dislikes crowleys habit of dumping extra work on the dorm wardens and is fully aware that crowley often manipulates students to suit his own agenda. Leona finds Crowleys tendency to dump extra work onto him meaningless and views his authority as a nuisance
Leona views Crowley as fundamental unsuited for his job he resents being ordered around by someone Leona has a disregard for authority and Leona despises being ordered around and resists taking orders from Crowley.
Leona holds deep contempt and suspicion for the headmaster viewing him as an incompetent irresponsible adult who consistently jeopardizes the students safety and academic futures. Leona considers Crowley’s failure to percent the repeated overblots and catastrophes campus collapses a dereliction of his basic duty because crowley is the adult in charge, leona holds him responsible for allowing night raven college to become a recurring war zone prompting Leona to take maters into his own hands rather than rely on Crowley
leona does not trust crowley’s intentions he has noted in the past that crowley only takes action when forced
he frequently point out that Crowley’s “generosity” or “helpfulness” usually means he has an ulterior motive or an insurance policy that profits him and views crowleys benevolence as a manipulative tactic to make students clean up the headmaster messes
Leona despises “incompetent rulers” and frequently calls the headmaster out for dumping his administration responsibility and crisis management onto the students and resents that the head mage forces students to resolve massive magical disasters frequently jeopardize their welbeing being for his own schemes and financial gain
in book 2, during the dorm leader meeting,Crowley suggests inducting Malleus into the hall of fame and mentions savanaclaws losses Leona expresses deep frustration that crowley threatened to retire malleus from the tournament and his own motives for bringing up savanaclaws losing reputation.
Leona fiercely resists this decision using his charisma to rally the other dorm wardens against the headmasters suggestion. leona noted that crowley assigned savanaclaw to face the formidable diasomia dorm in the first round for two consecutive years effectively ruining their tournament chances. Leona suspects that he is using Malleus for something. Leona is deeply skeptical of crowley and questions his hidden agendas regarding malleus and the rest of the school having suspicious of an ulterior motive and often pointed out that to his dorm mates that crowley appeared to have a ulterior self serving motives during campus incidents. Leona is is the one who is most vocal about crowleys intentions during the meeting he openly questioned crowleys true intentions suspecting that crowley purposely created no win situations that forced students into corners
In book 7, when malleus power triggers a massive crisis crowleys primary objective centers on saving himself and securing the students he deemed “exceptional” such as the overblot victims, when it was revealed that the mc, grim and Lilia are trapped under the crumbling ruins Leona is visibly shaken and angry and sharply questions crowley furious that the headmaster allowed such a powerful threat to endanger his students Leona becomes visibly irritated when he realizes crowley prioritized this over everything else essentially leaving mc and grim behind to deal with malleus alone.
and when Malleus transforms into a dragon, Crowley attempts to corral the students to fight the disaster Leona becomes visibly angry and frustrated, directing pointed hostile question at crowley for allowing the students to be in such extreme peril
Leona is aware that Crowley turns the massive dangers at night raven college into “learning opportunities” largely to secure financial funding and cover his own tracks he recognizes that Crowley is more concerned with the international fame and PR of his students surviving Malleus transformation than he is with the actual trauma of physical risks the students endured. Leona hates being manipulated he realizes early on that crowley uses the house wardens to clean up magical disasters while the headmaster hides behind the scenes offering nothing but hollow excuses.
