   Leda is a talented vihuela player and traveling musician, born to House Cohendia, descended from the legendary bard Cohen and the goddess Kalla. When she was 10, she was trained in Kalla's Temple by the goddess herself. Notably, at the age of 13, she won the title of Rose of Caelus, beating out Olympia for the title, and sparking an intense one-sided rivalry from her.

   One day in 1444, Leda encountered a man in a canal who appeared to be suffering. Pitying the man, he helped him recover without reporting it to any of the city's guards. This act of kindness would actually be her city's undoing as the man was Lechner, infiltrating the city to ensure the invasion of Cydonia would succeed. During the attack on Cydonia, her father Guillermo, Viceroy of Cydonia, was murdered in front of her by the Aragonian general Bertrand. Before escaping the destruction of her home, Leda and Buccar head to her father's office to recover the family's heirloom from the treasury, the Vihuela Obsidian. On the way, a mysterious warrior cloaked in white appears before them. After Leda senses that they are not an enemy, she voices her desire for revenge against those who killed her father. To grant her some form of protection, Fortuna offers her a pouch of Divine Sand while also encouraging her to treasure her life above all else. Though the white clad warrior vanishes suddenly, Leda quickly moves on and claims Obsidian and leaves Cydonia with Buccar.

   Afterwards she found refuge in Ortill with her mentor Mahdel. She joins the Heroic Games out of a desire for revenge. To accomplish this task, she is set on confronting and killing a number of people on a list that was given to her by her former mentor.

   On 1/1/1449 in Dagda, Leda is performing in a tavern which catches the eye of a man named Bjor. After her show, Bjor speaks with her, requesting a private show. Leda reveals that she knows who he truly is, a former corrupt member of her father's office and a conspirator to the Cydonia Massacre. After a brief fight, she kills him in cold blood after he reveals the location of another conspirator, Balboa. She then takes the blood-soaked knife and lines his name off a list which Sirocco notes has many other names lined out in the blood of her victims. She comments that there are only two names left.

   Leda was responsible for the murder of everyone on Mahdel's List except for one, the White-Maned Demon Bertrand, the killer of her father. Unfortunately for Leda, rumor was that Bertrand had been executed for committing regicide, news that she took harshly as she was denied the chance to kill the very man responsible for her father's death.

   Following her next lead, she finds Balboa in an secret Orichalcum mine found near Cydonia after the massacre. Cornering her in the mines, Leda executes Balboa as well after a fight and after she refuses to give the location of Lechner. Their actions cause a rebellion in Cydonia and subsequently all four begin to appear on wanted posters for their actions in these matters. With their names now wanted, Leda finally opens up to her new allies about her past. Namely how she acquired the list of conspirators. Father Mahdel had been the one to create it and to her horror, his name was at the very top. Having presented false evidence to the Divine Sovereign by the conspirators as they had taken his family hostage, his actions would give the means for them to massacre Cydonia. Though he never intended the outcome, the guilt in his role overwhelmed him. He left her with the list and set the temple ablaze, committing suicide with Leda discovering his corpse the following day, burned beyond recognition. With her history laid bare, Sirocco gives his true identity as well, a Vulkan of Kalla, whom he insists on taking her to. On the way, Leda stops by the mausoleum of Cohen, her ancestor. Just outside of the mausoleum, a woman screams and the party meet Maria a fellow traveling bard who holds a white vihuela similar to Obsidian. After dispatching the bandits, Maria accompanies them on their journey as she happens to be traveling in the same direction as them. On the way, a massive Ghost Carriage barrels down the road and the group moves out of the way. The party is stunned by the encounter, but nonetheless continue onward until they reach Kalla's Temple where they part ways with Maria.

   Pleased to see that Leda has survived, and after a short battle against her self-proclaimed rival Olympia, Kalla informs Leda that Bertrand is actually alive as Mars has transferred a man by that name to Dagsion to complete the Trial of the Chariot and is known as the White-Maned Demon. Her vengeance reignited since he still lives, Leda heads to Dagsion and to enter the Heroic Games as he will be participating as either she will kill him during the game or use her wish for the duel so she can kill him. Kalla directly transports the group to Dagsion using a Gate of the Gods where Leda arrives in time to register for the Heroic Games. At the opening ceremony, Leda witnesses Bertrand participate in the exhibition match, confirming her suspicions. Gazing at the stands where the Argonian king and queen were, Leda notices a man who gives her an unsettling feeling, who she believes is Lechner. During her initial tour around Dagsion, she finds cloaked woman harassed by a man. Noticing how uncomfortable and out of place she was, Leda accompanies her into the tavern where the woman, Aswan, tells her that there is a man she cares for that she regrets not saving when she had the chance. The woman tells her that she has no friends her age due to her status and hopes to make one out of Leda.

   Sirocco provides intel that Lechner disappears from Dagsion every new moon and so Rose Tempest decides to tail him on the next new moon night. Outside of Dagsion, they witness Lechner making a mysterious transaction with a bandaged man who emerges from the Ghost Carriage. After completing the deal and the Ghost Carriage leaves, Lechner calls out the party and a fight ensues. Leda attempts to kill Lechner but is forced to retreat as a greater Arago force arrives. Leda and Rose Tempest makes it through the first two rounds of qualifier matches, all the while she has begun to experiment with Obsidian to gain further powers. Her team eventually catches her in the middle of the night summoning a Demonic Beast. While she can whisk it away at a moment's notice, she admits her first summoned one is the Phantom wandering the streets of Dagsion at night, much to the party's fury. Later, she has another chance encounter with Aswan in the tavern where she is horrified to learn that not only is she the Queen of Arago, but the man she wishes to save is none other than Bertrand. As her impatience and fury rises, she tells Sorocco that she is going to storm the Arago lodging to try and kill Lechner, but Sirocco stop her from her reckless thoughts. Instead, he proposes another casing of him on the next new moon instead. Meanwhile, he also informs her that he has gathered intelligence on Father Mahdel, namely he never had a family. After helping him gather further intel from some people in Dagsion, she is left to question why he would lie about having a family and whether or not he actually that day in the church.

   Leda and Sirocco plan another attempt to intercept Lechner, this time stopping it on its way to the next pick-up. To the party's surprise, Maria is siding with Lechner and a fight ensues. They defeat him, but before Leda has the opportunity to kill him, Maria does so herself, having grown tired of his liabilities. Before Maria can attack Leda and her allies, Talimun makes a surprise appearance and is able to force her away and they hide away the Ghost Carriage. A few days later, Leda is approached by a mysterious man, telling her to meet his boss for an exchange at night. With her allies, she meets the bandaged man who demands the cart with the aid of Arago's finest soldiers Nathan and Creek backing him. Cornered, Leda unleashes Obsidian's power, summoning a complete Demonic Beast and fending off the Arago knights, though she opens herself up to the voice from Obsidian. With the cause lost, the party blows up the Ghost Carriage, giving them a means of escape. Leda proceeds to the final qualifying match alongside Talimun and Cai against Inyoni, winning the battle and qualifying for the main tournament. As team leader, the Divine Sovereign summons her to hear her wish. With confidence of confidentiality, she reveals her identity to the Divine Sovereign and states her wish to kill Bertrand. She also reveals both Mahdel's List and an ore of orichalcum, revealing Arago's scheme to him. Demanding an answer for the invasion, Solel brings up the evidence Mahdel had given him, but Solel expresses his doubts in lieu of the information given to him at the time. However, if Leda wins the games, he will consider it a divine sign of her claims and to do a thorough investigation.

   With the main matches finally revealed, Leda notices a team in the brackets that was not in the qualifiers. Anna reveals that the Fiery Mane, lead by Bertrand, was added in at the last second. Though she realizes that she has an opportunity to face him, the tournament would only allow them to fight if they both made the finals. Out of desperation, Leda attempts to set up a meeting with Orchel, hoping to sway her to drop out of the games so she can guarantee herself to face Bertrand. Orchel refuses and Lead decides that she would kill Orchel to ensure she drops out. However, Orchel is able to stop the summoning, forcing Leda to flee. Rose Tempest's first match-up is against the Ribeira Winds and, having seen her vengeance beginning to take extremes, Buccar sides with the Ribeira Winds to snap her out of it. Rose Tempest ultimately wins the battle and in the semifinals, they triumph over Theodora. Aswan meets with Leda in the streets again and Leda begrudgingly hears her out. She invites Leda to a party to perform there and Leda decides to humor her. At the party, Rose Tempest is intercepted by the Order of Mithras. Leda discovers that Mandalan is none other than Father Mahdel and learns the truth of his betrayal. Suddenly, the scenery shifts to the underworld and Maria uses Moonstone to resurrect Guillermo as a risen undead. Before Guillermo can strike down his own daughter, Mahdel intercepts the blade as a final atonement where he admits that he truly did come to love Leda like a daughter. Leda is forced to kill her father and defeats Martila. However, Rose Tempest is left trapped in the Underworld with risen undead closing in on them. Eshmel and Fortuna are forced to intervene, sending them down the right path back to the world above. Arriving back in the villa, Leda angrily swats away Aswan's attempts to check in on her, vowing to kill Bertrand no matter who stands in her way.

   Leda is given her desired battle against Bertrand for the finals. Leda encounters Aswan one last time before the match, threatening to kill her if she continues to support Bertrand. Aswan retorts with bow drawn that she can swat all of her arrows out of the way with the same intensity. Aswan demands to know why Leda hates Bertrand and she reveals his role in the murder of her father. Though Leda claims Aswan would never understand her pain, Aswan retorts that her own father was also murdered. However their meeting is cut short by Arago knights who came to collect her. At the finals, Leda relishes at the opportunity to having her revenge fulfilled. After a fierce battle and a final duel between the two, Leda is able to mount Bertrand and prepares to plunge the dagger into his chest. She is shocked when he puts up no resistance and demands answers for what happened during the Massacre. Bertrand admits that he killed Guillermo, however as a final request, Guillermo asked him to protect Leda. Despite a desperate search, Leda had fled the city. Back in Arago, Bertrand was betrayed by Gilchris and subsequently framed for the murder of the king of Arago. Hearing him continue to admit his role in her father's death with complete honesty, Leda decides to put her assassination on hold as they fight a common enemy for now.

   Solel congratulates her for her performance at the Heroic Games and bestows her the title of Flame Lord with the epithet "the Siren of the Six-Strings". Though Leda's original wish was to face Bertrand, the games ironically fulfilled that request. Instead, Leda requests to have a new investigation done on the conspiracy that lead to the Cydonia Massacre considering the evidence provided by Sirocco and the request is granted. Though Solel offers to restore her family's nobility status, Leda does not feel ready to take the helm of her original house. Nonetheless, she pledges to continue traveling and seek a new song for herself, just like her ancestor. Solel wishes her well and promises to bring good news the next time they speak.

   At her father's grave, Leda reports the news to her father and begins to ponder what her next steps will be. Sirocco informs her that the Order of Mithras's headquarters had burned down and the body of Maria was found and Arago has been left in disarray with the absence of its chancellor. With the death of the only mastermind behind Cydonia is dead, Leda decides to head south as rumors of the people faithful to Yu Phas can be found in hopes that she can release her father's soul from the underworld. The Rose Tempest in the meantime choose to stay together as she embarks on a new journey.
