Leah is the leader of the Fire Guard and the youngest daughter of Kiara and Kovu. She has her mother's physical traits, but she has a fur quaff on her head.
Leah was born as the youngest princess of the Pride lands alongside her brother, Fasa. Knowing her older sister Kishi will be queen and her elder brother and sister Koda and Asha will be leaders of their own lion guard, Leah feels left out and worthless to her pride for there has never been a third born in the Pride Lands. One day, Leah falls into a cave and finds a Dragon's blood tree underneath Pride rock. She accidentally cuts herself on the bark while touching the tree. Leah's friend, Todo, a young crocodile, finds and rescues her. Soon after, Leah gets a dragon head mark on her shoulder. Rafiki explains the mark was ancient and belonged to a family of mighty dragons that had protected the lands before the age of lions. Leah shows signs of having a mighty dragon roar, similar to that of the roar of the elders. Leah decides to assemble a team called the Fire Guard to protect the pride lands using her new abilities.
Leah is very kind, sincere and sympathetic, and has a caring spirit. She shows great concern for her friends and family when they are in danger. Leah is shown to be slightly snarky, petulant, oppressive, cantankerous and domineering at times, especially when defending or showing loyalty to her team. She enjoys hunting and play fighting with others. Leah sees every animal in the pride lands as equals and dislikes the thought of hunting them, believing it makes lions more powerful than other animals.
