Princess Leila (born 2nd February 2012) is the fourth child and second daughter of King Shapur XIV of Zargothrax. After being sent as a diplomatic envoy to Salad Land during the Thraxian-Saladian War, she volunteered to work for the Salad Land Lizard Capture Service. She is allergic to cats.
Birth and education[edit | edit source]
Leila was born in 2012 to then-Prince Shapur and Princess Yasmina. She was raised in the Royal Nursery in Castle Zargo, being educated alongside her elder sister Princess Mina by private tutors. The education of the princesses omitted many scientific subjects; with "traditionally feminine" aspects being emphasised instead. Leila has been a vocal critic of the lack of educational opportunities for girls in Zargothrax, despite only being 11. She has repeatedly asked to be sent to boarding school.
Cat dispute[edit | edit source]
In June 2023, Leila's father King Shapur adopted twelve cats, claiming he had been instructed to by a "vision from God". Leila publicly objected to this in view of the media, due to her cat allergy[1]. After her father began making it a law that each household has to own at least one cat[2], Leila (aged 11) began to publicly voice opposition to her father's rule.
Salad Land lizards[edit | edit source]
In August 2023, Leila was sent by her father as a diplomatic envoy to Salad Land to discuss the Thraxian-Saladian War. After delivering her father's message, it is believed that Leila was compelled to stay in Salad Land by the Marquis Bastien de Salad as a semi-hostage while he travelled to Zargothrax to meet with her father. While in Salad Land, however, Leila volunteered to work for the Salad Land Lizard Capture Service and assist in trapping 400 lizards which had escaped in Salad Land en route to her father's laboratory. She has since captured a large number of lizards, making her the most efficient employee of the SLLCS, despite her age.
