Final Fantasy III Fun Facts of the Whenever: Lionhearted Edition
(Translations via Google Translate and DeepL)
In the Final Fantasy III Perfect Analysis book (volume 1), Saronia's backstory is elaborated upon. It is described that Saronia used to have two orders of Knights: Knights and Magic Swordsmen/Dark Knights/Warmages/whatever. However, the Dark Knights would be exhiled due to the king of the era's fears over the power of their dark swords. Of particular note is the Dark Knight implied to be the first banished, as he is named "Leonhart" after the character from Final Fantasy II:
通常兵器を使いこ なせるキャラクター と言えば戦士系であ る。ただ、同じ系列 でもナイトと魔剣士 の剣に対する考え方 には大きな違いがあ る。剣が持つ力の二 せい 面性のうち、正の力 い を活かした剣士がナ イトであるとすれば、 負の力を活かした剣 い 士が魔剣士なのであ る。ともにサロニア 王室直属の優秀な剣 士だったが、力の源 りょうきょく フォース みなしと ふういん はその両極にあった のだ。負の力をおそ れた時の王は、魔剣 士レオンハルトを追 放、暗黒剣を封印し てしまった。追放さ れたレオンハルトは サロニアの南西に居 を移し、暗黒剣の道 を極めていった。こ の地が後のファルガ バードである。
Characters who can use normal weapons are warriors. However, even within the same type, there is a big difference in the way that knights and magic swordsmen think about swords. If a knight is a swordsman who uses the positive power of the sword, then a magic swordsman is a swordsman who uses the negative power. Both were excellent swordsmen directly under the royal family of Salonia, but their sources of power were at opposite ends of the spectrum. The king at the time, fearing the negative power, banished the magic swordsman Leonhardt and sealed away the dark sword. After being banished, Leonhardt moved to the southwest of Salonia and mastered the path of the dark sword. This place is what would later become Falgabard.
ちょう しょう 世界最大の都市サロニアは、文化の象 徴の図書館がある街、ナイト系民族の 街、魔剣士系民族の街の、3つに分かれ ていた。しかし、年々魔剣士一族は追放 により減少し、ナイト系の人だけが住み つくようになった。その中の1つ、 その中の1つ、南西 の街は工業都市。工場で働く人々のため に、酒場も経営されている。
Saronia, the largest city in the world, was divided into three parts: a city with a library of cultural symbols, a city of the knightly race, and a city of the mage race. However, over the years, the number of mage clans has dwindled due to exile, and only those of knightly descent have settled in the city. One of them, the city in the southwest, is an industrial city. A tavern is also operated for the factory workers.
サロニアから移り住んだ、暗黒剣を使う一族の村
魔剣士の隠れ里、ファルガバード。サ ロニアから移り住んだ、暗黒剣を使う一 族の村である。しかし、負の力を使いこ なせる者は少なく、特に魔剣士と呼ばれ る者は、わずか数名しか存在していない。 しかも、そのうちの大部分が高齢である ため、その使い手として後を継ぐことが できる者をひたすら待ち続けている。
A village of dark sword wielders who migrated from Saronia
Falgabard, a hidden village of magic sword wielders. A village of dark sword wielders who migrated from Saronia. However, there are few who can use negative powers, and there are only a few people who are called magic sword wielders. Moreover, most of them are elderly, so they are waiting for someone who can succeed them as wielders.
ファルガバードには、その昔、 サロニアから移り住んだ暗黒剣 を使う一族が住んでいる。暗黒 剣は、暗闇の持つ恐怖を克服し た者だけが扱える剣で、魔剣士 にしか使いこなせない。ここで は、暗黒剣を極めようとするも のが修業をしているわけだが、 魔剣士と呼ばれる者は今ではご 〈少数しか存在しない。
Long ago, a clan that used the Dark Sword lived in Falgabard, who had migrated from Saronia. The Dark Sword is a sword that can only be used by those who have overcome the fear of darkness, and only magic swordsmen can use it. Those who wish to master the Dark Sword train here, but there are now very few people who can be called magic swordsmen.
Additionally, this would not be the last time a classic Final Fantasy guidebook made a reference to Leon. The Final Fantasy IV Settings Document guidebook would also reference him. Specifically, it explains that the Deathbringer sword given to Cecil by the king of Fabul was left by a Dark Knight named Leonhart after he renounced the Dark Sword (Credit to SceneryRecalled, which is where the translation is hosted):
The Dark Knight Leonhart asks Fabul for lodging. There, through Abbot Fabul's teachings, he renounces his Dark Sword and enters the priesthood. Taking this as a sign, priests head for the temple in droves.
On an incidental note, a single Dark Sword rests within the walls of Fabul Temple. It is this very sword that led Fabul to its current state of prosperity. During the wars of a few hundred years ago, a lone Dark Knight, covered in wounds and at death's door, found his way to Fabul Temple. In the course of receiving treatment for his wounds, this knight experienced a spiritual awakening under the instruction and teachings of the High Abbot and ended up entering into the Fabul Temple faith. The sword enshrined within Fabul Temple is the Dark Sword that Dark Knight abandoned. The story of the Dark Knight soon spread throughout the world, and stalwart souls in search of spiritual training began one after another to flock to Fabul.
Glynda is the vice headmistress - now headmistress - of Beacon Academy. She is Ozpins left and right hand woman and someone who has been with him through everything during his time as headmaster.
We've seen posts going on and on about Qrow and the other members of the inner circle, especially the ones that have characters to do with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz but they never mention her or how she copes with everything. I think I might try and fix that.
(T.W: this is going to contain a theory of mine on how her semblance works),
Glynda's semblance, as we know, is telekinesis. She moves objects on either smaller or larger scales and has the ability to fix and repair things with her mind. We've seen her control and fix things on large scales before (the breach and the food fight) and as we know by now a semblance is a special power made by the soul/ Aura to fit one's personality, mental, or emotional state.
Depending on your mental and emotional health your semblance can evolve it doesn't matter if your feelings are negative or not your semblance will automatically evolve and to stay compatible with your personality and traits, you can still train it to get stronger though. Ren and Ruby are perfect examples for this.
Glynda is a vice headmistress, a member of the inner circle, Ozpins closest confident, a renowned huntress, and a combat teacher and disciplinarian at Beacon Academy. The most successful and prestigious of all four Academies. Safe to say she's got a lot of power at Beacon. We see that she cares about the students following the rules and staying on track while trying to enforce said rules. She has control on just about everything at Beacon. We also see that she's trying to keep everything together, keep her students safe, keep Ironwood trusting Ozpin, keep the school in shape. She needs to keep things together or else they'll break and fall apart.
After the fall of Beacon we see her trying to put a shop back together using her semblance...but it doesn't work. She's out of breath and confused. Yes you could play it off as she's probably tired from doing other things like putting Beacon back together. But that is not the case. We see that she's started putting the school back together later on after helping repair the city in the books, and the rest of the city still looks very much destroyed.
I have a theory on how a part of her semblance might work.
She needs to KNOW. That's it. She just needs to know. We all know her fairy tale inspiration is Glynda the Good witch of the east and that she is someone very important and someone with knowledge on just about everything. Glynda doesn't know anymore. She doesn't know what happened to her students, she doesn't know what happened to Lionheart or Ironwood, she doesn't know about Oscar or Emerald's redemption, and she doesn't know about Raven, Winter, Penny, Fria, or the maidens. The Good Witch lost her knowledge.
We also don't know how young (or old) she was when she unlocked her semblance. If it was when she was young as in a child or pre teen then I was right and she did not have a fun childhood like the rest of the cast, if it was when she was a student - a new huntress, then the stress was probably getting to her, if it was recent - as in slightly before canon - then the stress finally got to her but she didn't show it (most unlikely in terms of timeline and experience with her semblance (most likely in terms of stress) or it could be all of them but she just didn't show it because of being stubborn and a workaholic

ELEKTRA AND LEONA PROM DRESS PERSONAL STORY
PART 1
SAVANACLAW - LOUNGE
Elektra: Ahh… why can’t I live in Savanaclaw…
Elektra: So much cooler than my shitty house.
Elektra: Hey, do you know where Jack’s room is?
Savanclaw Student A: AHH!
*RUNS*
Elektra: Damn, why are the Savanaclaw guys always afraid of me? Thought they were supposed to be big and tough.
Elektra: Hah. Look at Leona, sleeping on a lounge chair like nothing matters. Wish I could sleep so easily.
Elektra: Yo, Leona.
*KICK*
Elektra: Wake your ass up.
*KICK KICK*
Leona: If you kick my chair one more time, I’m throwing you into the fountain.
Leona: What the hell do you need?
Elektra: Where’s Jack’s room?
Elektra: Althea needs me to give him the security schedule for prom night.
Leona: Give it to me. I’ll deliver it.
Elektra: You? Since when do you ever lift a finger?
Elektra: You mean you’ll have Ruggie do it, don’t you?
Elektra: Well, I told Althea I’d make sure it got to him safely, so just tell me where his room is.
Leona: Don’t trust me? Just hand it over.
Elektra: No, actually. I don’t trust you.
Elektra: You gonna give me directions to his room? Or do I gotta kick your chair more.
Leona: I warned you what would happen if you did that.
Elektra: Like you would ever do that.
*KICK*
Elektra: AAAAAHH!!!
Leona: Oi!
*SPLASH*
Elektra: *COUGH COUGH*
Elektra: YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!?
Elektra: YOU ASS. YOU’RE LUCKY I LEFT MY PHONE AT THE PROM VENUE OR YOU’D BE PAYING FOR A NEW ONE!
Leona: HAHA! Wish I could take credit for that, but you slipped on your own.
Leona: Serves you right for waking me up.
Elektra: Wha— How the hell did I do that?
Leona: You were standing in a puddle. You lost your balance when you lifted your foot to kick my chair.
Leona: Can’t leave you alone for a second. If I let you go to that prom thing alone, you’ll just end up falling on the dance floor and getting trampled.
Leona: Guess it’s my job to keep an eye on you at the damn event.
Leona: Here, take my hand.
Elektra: Ugh. I’m gonna catch a cold like this.
Elektra: Wait, what do you mean by “keep an eye on me??”
Elektra: If you want a date then you should just say it??
Leona: Go to your friends’ dorm and dry yourself off. I don’t need you getting more water everywhere.
Leona: I’m gonna finish my nap somewhere you won’t bother me.
Elektra: Huh? Leona? I need to know if it’s a date or not!
Elektra: Leona!
Elektra: Dammit all to hell…
PROM VENUE - INSIDE
Althea: Sooo… is it a date? Did you ever find out?
Elektra: Still don’t have the slightest clue.
Althea: It’s almost cute how he can’t admit his feelings…
Elektra: Huh? You say something?
Althea: Nothing.
Elektra: He didn’t even give me a chance to reject him…
Althea: Would you have rejected him? I know you don’t think he’s boyfriend material, but I thought you still liked his company.
Elektra: I would’ve said yes if he asked, but I’d like to at least have the option.
Elektra: Is it okay for you to be talking with me when you have a job to do?
Althea: I-I was just on a short break! Grim, we need to get back to work!
Elektra: Why’d I remind her of that? Now I gotta stand here looking stupid while I play the guessing game of whether or not Leona’ll show up on time.
PART 2
PROM VENUE - INSIDE
Elektra: Wow, shock of the century.
Elektra: You actually showed up not only on time, but ten minutes early.
Leona: I see you didn’t burn the place down yet.
Elektra: Oh, drop the act. You know I can take care of myself.
Elektra: Admit that you wanted to spend the night with me already.
Leona: I’m grabbing some of those chicken wings. If you want any food, say it now.
Elektra: Always deflecting… Get me a couple mozzarella sticks.
Elektra: You look good, by the way!
Elektra: I’m not afraid to admit it!
Leona: Can’t hear you over here!
PROM VENUE - INSIDE
Leona: You look good, too.
Elektra: Oh! He finally opens up a little!
Elektra: So you could hear me after all.
Leona: Only because you’re way too loud.
Leona: You give me a damn headache.
Elektra: I didn’t ask you to come with me.
Elektra: If I bother you, the door is that way.
Leona: …
Leona: Those music club idiots aren’t half bad.
Leona: I’ll let you have one night as a princess. Come dance with a prince for once, instead of the frogs you’ve lowered yourself to all these years.
Elektra: The guys I’ve dated really weren’t too bad.
Elektra: You’re not so bad, either. I’ll entertain you.
Leona: Heh, your skin is soft.
Leona: Bet it would feel good to dig my claws into.
Elektra: You suck at flirting.
Althea: Ace, look at those two dancing!
Ace: He looks like he’s about to take a bite outta her! Is she okay?
Elektra: Hey! Watch those hands, pervert.
Elektra: Keep ‘em above the hip and below the ribs.
Leona: Sorry. Easy to get carried away when you look that good.
Althea: Is he gonna be okay?? I’ve never seen him so docile.
Leona: Oi, Saxon, fresh meat.
Leona: If you have something to say, say it to our faces.
Ace and Althea: EEP!
Elektra: Hah! You scared them so bad that Ace was able to run like a pro while carrying her!
Leona: Their gossiping was making my ears itch.
Leona: Hm, this necklace you’re wearing is pretty cheap. Gonna leave stains on your skin.
Elektra: Not like I can afford better.
Leona: You should’ve told me that all your jewelry is crap. I would’ve bought you something for the occasion.
Elektra: Didn’t want you thinking you could buy your way into my pants.
Leona: You’re not wearing pants. Makin’ it easier for me to get in.
Elektra: Control yourself, kitty-cat.
Leona: Hmph. You’re so difficult.
Leona: You’re lucky I put up with you. No other man will.
Elektra: There’s a line miles long of men who want to put up with me.
Leona: Tell them to quit waiting. I’ve already marked you as my prey.
Elektra: Keep talkin’ about me like I’m meat and I’ll be the one who bites your head off.
Leona: No thanks. The mating rituals of praying mantises don’t appeal to me.
Elektra: Then behave.
Elektra: You know, you’re a pretty good dancer.
Leona: Had to take ballroom lessons as a kid. Always hated it, but it was worth it for this moment.
Elektra: Yeah. You’re pretty impressive sometimes, Leona.
PART 3
PROM VENUE - OUTSIDE
Elektra: Jeez, never thought a date with a prince would be so exhausting.
Elektra: Such a handful. I feel terrible for Ruggie havin’ to take care of you.
Leona: You’re not any easier. Thought you were gonna trip over my tail the whole night.
Elektra: I fall in front of you one time and you think I’m a klutz for life?
Elektra: You’re not as good a liar as you think. It was all an excuse to hold my waist all night.
Leona: I wanted to hold more than your waist, but you refused.
Elektra: Anyone with half a mind would say no to that. You’re bad news, Kingscholar.
Elektra: Take me home. I wanna get out of this tight-ass dress.
Leona: Allow me to help with tha—
Elektra: Don’t even try it.
RAMSHACKLE DORM - OUTSIDE
Elektra: You may leave now.
Leona: Not even a kiss goodbye?
Leona: The prince is always supposed to get a kiss from the princess at the end of the story, you know.
Elektra: We both know I’m no princess.
Leona: You look like one.
Leona: You were the most beautiful thing in the room by far, Elektra.
Leona: I’m not afraid to admit it.
Elektra: Leona Kingscholar? Saying something charming?
Elektra: Has the world gone mad?
Elektra: You really want that kiss, don’t you.
Leona: My life would be incomplete without it.
Elektra: Then I’ll allow you to kiss me on the cheek. Ask for more, and you don’t even get that.
Leona: If that’s all I can have, then I’ll treasure it.
*KISS*
Elektra: Sure are lingering there, aren’t you.
Leona: Can’t let the moment slip through my fingers.
Leona: Goodnight, Elektra. If I ever need a date to some bullshit royal event, I’ll be taking you.
Elektra: Like hell you will. I can’t deal with uptight formal shit like that.
Leona: Neither can I. That’s why I’m bringing you.
Elektra: I have promised to commiserate with you when you need it, so guess I got no choice.
Elektra: Night, Leona. If you dream of me, keep it PG-13!
*DOOR SHUT*
Leona: Heh.
Leona: Wish that woman would give in already.
Leona: Playin’ hard to get all the time.
Leona: Well, I don’t mind the hunt.
Leona: But an herbivore like her can’t outrun me.
Leona: Next time, Elektra, I’ll sink my teeth into you for sure.
Actual dream I had last night
