History:

• 25 March 1862 : Leonie Viviene is the first child and first daughter born to Luxemborg native Jerome Baudelaire and his German native wife, Lorelei Baudelaire.
• __ ______ 1865: Ligiea is born. Even at three years old, Leonie is instantly enamored by the baby and wants to be around her all day and all night. She begins to take lessons from her Nanny on how to care for a child, and begins to demonstrate clear knowledge of how to do so with her dolls.
• 19 August 1967 : The same year Leonie turns five, Antigone is born. She is thrilled to have another sister around, as children fill her with absolute wonder despite being a child herself. Leonie continues to help their nanny with the care of Ligiea when the new baby is brought home.
• 1 September 1873 : Leonie is the first Baudelaire to go to school. She is accepted to Beauxbatons and doesn't exactly care about any other school. She obtains her wand just shortly before going off to school and enjoys the carriage ride with her parents to school- the only alone time with them she can actually remember.
• 29 October 1873 : Leonie and ______ are paired up for a project in class. She instantly falls for his Italian charm and wonders what he's doing in a place like Beauxbatons. The two are quick to become friends and it is hard to find them apart from one another.
• 14 February 1876 : ______ asks Leonie to be his valentine and thus begins a wonderful courtship between the two (with the acceptance of Leonie's father). Leonie had been feeling something for ______ for some time, but had always brushed it off as just friendly feelings. After he expresses his feelings for her, she understands that her feelings were more than just those of friendship.
• 17 July 1878 : Scores from exams are received at home. Leonie is nervous, despite thinking she did well, and hides the envelope from her parents for several hours before feeling too guilty and giving it to them. They are astounded at how well she has been doing in school and praise her for her excellent marks in school.
• 13 May 1880 : Despite the fact that they are in love, Leonie and ______ end their courtship, as he doesn't want to leave Italy and Leonie wants to [eventually] move to England where her family is.
• 3 June 1880 : Leonie graduates from Beauxbatons with high honors, scoring exceptionally well on her exams. Her parents are proud and allow her to spend time in Paris before headed to England, where the family had relocated during Leonie's time in school. Despite this, Leonie decides to travel the world and become a cultured young woman, hoping it would help her land a husband when she finally went home to England.
• June & July 1880 : For her first stop, Leonie spends two months in Russia. She is in shock at the different culture and the extremely different architecture.
• August & September 1880 : Mongolia is her next stop, and there Leonie is once again completely bewildered by the immense difference between the Mongolian culture and her own. Not only that, but it completely shocks her as to the difference between the Russian and Mongolian cultures.
• October & November 1880 : When in China, Leonie has less of a shock, as the culture is reminiscent of the Mongolian culture, and after having encountered two very different cultures (from one another and her own), the shock value is becoming increasingly less.
• December 1880 & January 1881 : India is Leonie's fourth stop; she is in love with the weather, the food and the overall niceness of the people with whom she comes in contact. Her parents try to contact her and demand her return home, but she explains her desire to stay longer and is granted permission to stay, so long as she is appropriately chaperoned everywhere she goes. Leonie assures her parents she is.
• February & March 1881 : Leonie decides to travel to Italy, to see if she can find, and reunite with, ______. The two have a lovely reunion and, against Leonie's better judgments, they begin another relationship. It ends badly, with the two getting drunk and consummating their love. Leonie regrets the decision the next morning as she understands it will tarnish her reputation if word gets out and she flees.
• April & May 1881 : After fleeing from Italy, Leonie goes to neighboring Austria. She enjoys the clean air and the mountain views that are abundant, and at the end of her stay, begins to wonder why she has been feeling so ill and realizes she has missed her monthly cycle.
• June & July 1881 : She ignores the fact and leaves Austria, hoping to Merlin that there was something in the Austrian water making her ill, and fins her way to Germany. It is there that signs of her pregnancy begin to show and as people continue to look at her strangely and some even had the audacity to ask where the father of her child is, Leonie flees from Germany and hopes to have better luck elsewhere.
• August & early September 1881 : Leonie makes the mistake of heading to her home country of Luxembourg, where she is known by many people. After being approached by a few people who were once family friends, Leonie writes home to her mother, seeking her assistance regarding what to do. Her mother is extremely displeased by her daughter's inability to take care of herself and mistakes Leonie's pregnancy as a result of having been raped. Leonie makes no attempt to change her mother's mind.
• September 1881 : Shortly after writing to her mother, Leonie returns to Italy, writing to her mother she has a friend there with whom she can stay. To Leonie's surprise, her mother agrees that is a good idea, as it would be completely inappropriate to move to England at such a time.
• 29 December 1881 : Jerome and Lorelei receive a letter in a strange handwriting asking that they come to Italy immediately, as their daughter is in labor and it isn't going well. Lorelei tells Jerome of their daughter's situation and go at once to the address stated. They are greeted by their daughter, nine months pregnant and in the middle of a difficult labor. By her side are two strange women. Jerome is ushered out of the room and goes to sit with ______, whom he remembers fondly from Leonie's days in school. Jerome has no idea that he is the father of Leonie's baby. After a day and a half in labor, Leonie delivers a baby girl, whom is immediately taken to an orphanage, despite Leonie's pleas against it.
• 8 January 1882 : Jerome and Lorelei express their thanks to ______'s parents, who went to great lengths to take care of Leonie in her time of need. They take their daughter back to England where she has been ever since, though they realized rather quickly that the daughter they brought home was not the daughter they had seen at her Beauxbatons graduation.
• 15 March 1882 : Leonie receives a letter from Antonio. It's extremely cryptic and she wonders why he has written her after so many years. She discovers, after several letters, that Tony had come to England to seek out Leonie. After several more letters, she would discover that he had gone to the orphanage only days after Leonie left and brought their daughter home and had raised her to that point.
• Summer 1882 : Leonie meets Karissa, her daughter, for the first time since giving birth to her, and is instantly smitten with the little girl who had her father's dark hair but all of Leonie's other features. Tony had a meeting with Leonie's parents while Karissa was left in Leonie's care. Several hours after the meeting began, Tony and Leonie's parents emerged, having come to an agreement that Tony and Leonie would be married.
• 06 December 1882 : Leonie and Antonio are officially married, and set off with their almost year old daughter on their honeymoon.

Personality: Agreeable, intelligent, cultured, insightful, shameful, quick to blame herself, family oriented
