Leni Loud

Biography

At 17-years-old (16-years-old before Season 5), Leni is the second oldest child of the Loud family. She is very naïve and quite ditzy, but she makes up for it with her beauty and kindness. Leni is a senior (a junior in Seasons 1-4) at Royal Woods High School and attends school with her siblings Luna and Luan. In "Time Trap!", Leni and her siblings altered history, causing their parents to decide not to have any kids in the future. As a result, Leni got deleted out of existence, although she returned when Lisa and Lily prevented this timeline alteration. When Leni was one, she taught herself how to sew, and was punished for making a dress out of random objects around the house. Leni became a big sister and was the middle child when Luna was born. in her early childhood, she enjoyed lying on her back on the couch. When she was around two or three, she enjoyed Luan's puppet show, and around age five through six, she enjoyed giving Lincoln makeovers (along with Lori) and cheering him up when he was sad (along with the rest of their sisters). Her enjoyment of trying on new clothes began on her first day of first grade, where she felt confident in a new dress. As a young girl, she and Lori were in the Bluebell Scouts together. She also gave Lincoln his first haircut. At age five, she gave up playing with a teddy bear named Mr. Winky Bear. She attended Royal Woods Middle School, where Chef Pat served Leni undesirable food due to a grudge held against Rita. At some point in her childhood, she owned a bicycle and tried talking to it to make it move. She also owned a fashion-themed board game and would believe there were monsters under her bed, until Rita convinced her there weren't.

Personality

Despite being the second-oldest of the Loud children, Leni is quite ditzy and is very forgetful, absent-minded, and not that bright. Various examples of her simple-mindedness are expressed throughout the series. In "Linc or Swim", she does not know the rules of the game, Marco Polo, much to Luan's annoyance. In "Project Loud House", she is shown to be unable to walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. When she's being interrogated by Lincoln and Lucy in "Sleuth or Consequences", she thinks they are interviewing her, and states that her favorite color is "zebra." Her ditzy nature has also caused her to behave like a child, such as in "Changing the Baby", where she gets stuck in Lily's crib, calls it a "baby prison," bawls like a baby, and then gratefully says "a-goo" once Lincoln and Lori get her out; and in "Sitting Bull", where she gets a minor injury and refers to it as an "ouchie" (a term for when babies and young kids get hurt) and is then cheered up when Luan hits herself with a hammer prop, which she does to cheer up the children she looks after when babysitting. In "Schooled!", when she accidentally attends preschool, she starts behaving like the other preschoolers to the point where she's even sucking her thumb while taking a nap. Leni is arachnophobic. This phobia is most prominent in "Along Came a Sister", where Lincoln brings his class's pet spider, Frances, home. When Leni first sees Frances, she panics and attempts to kill her with bug spray. Later on, it is revealed that Frances is still alive, and Lynn Sr. – who is also arachnophobic – had hired an exterminator to dispose of her. Leni faces her fear and cuts off the exterminator, in order to save Lincoln's reputation – once again – showing that she does have a big heart and loves her family.

Personality

Leni has also proved that she can be irresponsible, such as when she agreed to cover for Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lola, and Lana, but later passed the task onto Lincoln. However, Leni is shown to be very compassionate, as she was the only one of her siblings to prioritize helping her family get better, as opposed to getting away when the Loud family caught the flu. In addition, she is the only person in the family considerate enough in the family to be able to make the perfect surprise party because she pays attention to what people like (excluding the surprise part since she always spoils the surprise because she cannot keep it a secret due to her ditzy and naïve personality). Sometimes, she is too permissive for her own good. In "Shop Girl", she let a bunch of shoppers take her stuff and was not even upset about it, saying that she would just make some new clothes out of her old ones. Though her siblings taught her to be tougher, she decided that she likes being nice more, as she gave some of the clothes she bought away to people who needed them more. In "Everybody Loves Leni", she worked very hard to bring her work friends and school friends together. She felt guilty for all the arguing between them and punished herself by missing out on her favorite sale, but her friends decided to get along for her sake.

Personality

Leni is also very perky and optimistic. When she subbed for Ms. Carmichael in "Leader of the Rack", she wanted to be "fun" despite being the temporary manager, calling herself the "funager". She's also shown to enjoy various playful activities, such as using a trampoline.

Nick Description

Leni Loud loves designing outfits and accessories to go with them. Leni's easily distracted by shiny objects, and often walks into walls while talking, but what Leni lacks in smarts, she makes up for in heart. She's the sweetest Loud around! An accessorizing fashion fiend, Leni is easily distracted by shiny objects, always falls for Luan’s pranks, and occasionally walks into walls while talking (hey, doing two things at once is tough). She might be scatterbrained, but Leni’s still a sweet sibling with a heart of gold — no, Leni, not ACTUAL gold.

Appearance

Leni has long, pale-blonde hair, with side-swept bangs, and three pairs of eyelashes. She is almost as tall as Lori, but taller than all her younger siblings. Her main outfit is a seafoam green dress, with white frills, and triangular sleeves. With this, she wears red hoop earrings, white slide slip-on sandals, topped with light green bows, and a pair of rounded white sunglasses with black lenses on top of her head. One interesting note about what Leni wears is that the color of the bows on her sandals change to correspond with what she's wearing. In "Ties That Bind" and "Brawl in the Family", the bows were blue to correspond with the tank top and dress she was wearing. In "Tricked!", the bows were white to match the circa 18th-century dress she was wearing while as Marie Antoinette. Leni's swimwear is also seafoam green with white frills, only it is a two-piece garment. The top half has two simple straps, while the bottom half is longer than the top, and has four white buttons. Instead of sunglasses, she wears a seafoam green swimming cap, with a white bow tie. She retains her earrings and sandals, even while in water. Her night attire consists of a seafoam green nightgown, that looks very similar to her regular outfit but sleeveless. She also sleeps with a magenta sleeping mask, but later on, it changes to a periwinkle mask, with an image of closed eyes over it. She retains her magenta mask, and like the periwinkle one, it has the closed eyes image.

Appearance

In "Hand-Me-Downer", she was seen as a younger girl, but her wardrobe wasn't entirely different. She still wore a seafoam green dress and sandals with green bows on them. The only differences are that her dress didn't have frilled sleeves, and she didn't have her sunglasses. in "Selfie Improvement", she was seen as a younger girl again. She wore a seafoam green shirt, brown cargo shorts, white socks, and seafoam green shoes. As of Season 4, her nose has a rounder shape and she frequently has bags around her eyes. in live-action media, Leni wears the same dress, only without white frills, and white boots. In The Really Loud House, her dress is colored differently and she wears seafoam green nail polish. She is also shown to be close to Lori's size.

Sunglasses

Leni wears her sunglasses atop her head in every episode she appears in. She only removes them when she goes to bed, showers, goes swimming or goes outside in the snow. Her sunglasses are white, with two black circular lenses, and a sheen going across both of them. The sheen is absent in the live-action version; the black lenses are transparent as sunglasses usually are in real life. When she was portraying a cat in the family play in "Suite and Sour", her sunglasses were triangular in shape, rather than circular, which looked like cat ears. This means that she owns more than one pair of sunglasses. There is an animation goof that has occurred a few times, where her sunglasses are missing in one shot, and then reappear in the next shot.
