I'm actually answering at the tags, but... Yeah, we need elders that look like elders not this BENJAMIN BUTTON fuel for nightmares!

"I mean... I am a doctor, but I'm not THAT kind of doctor..."

I completely feel your point of view, because Leesha is the classical thrope of the rich, popular, pretty and superficial but good-hearted girl who dates the dumb, handsome, athletic football quarterback who is also the school bully. But at the same time I see that Leesha is not indipendent at all, because she rely too much on others just from the beginning: she saw Gared as a way to run away from her mother; she accepted to become Bruna's apprentice to be protected by folk's prejudices and gossip and also escape from her mother and her tiny village life, she rely on The Painted Man and her mother to take decisions and also never makes a choice of her own. Leesha's whole personality is based on her desire to be different from Elona, her mother: she decided to wait until marriage for sex, unlike her mom; she became Bruna's apprentice because her mother refused the position in her youth (and also to escape from Elona's influence); she wanted he help others because Elona is only interested in help herself and is always described as selfish, even when she seems to care about her family, Elona never sacrife her desires or her own gain for other's well-being, while Leesha sacrifice always her own personal life over others, even if at the beginning of the book she expressed her dream for a family of her own. Leesha also not shames, as you wrote, other's sleeping around, she shamed people who cheat on their spouses: even if her childhood has been more comfortable and protected than Arlen's or Rojer's and both her parents are alive, she lives as a torture her mother's strong personality, the way she humiliate and bully her husband and this made her dream of real love. Elona married Erny for money, but never renounced to her love for Steave Cutter and cheated publicly on her husband in his own home. Also I think that Leesha refused her sexuality because she had been failed by all the men of her life: Erny failed to protect her (and himself too) from Elona, Gared lied and claimed that they had sex, the Messanger tried to rape her and didn't believe she was virgin (and then told her he didn't care about refugees' destiny), Rojer failed to protect her from rape, Arlen failed her by breaking her illusion and expectations about their relationship and abandoned her in the time of need, Ahmann Jardir lied to her about the number of his wives and plotted against her back with Elona to combine their wedding.

Basically Leesha dreamed of a savoir all her life, a person devoted only to her and who would love her exclusively, but her dreams faded facing reality.

Also her relationship with Gared is very problematic: she was superficially attracted to him because he was handsome, strong and was considered a leader by his friends cutters, but she closed her eyes about the worst part of his personality: Gared as teen was a violent bully! Leesha didn't care, because saw Gared as the only possibility to escape from her mother. Even if Gared seemed to be sensible enough to understand how painful was for Leesha seeing her mom cheating on her dad (with Steave, Garet's father) and humiliating him, Gared never acted against him father. Never. Gared changed and grow up from his bully past, which him regrets deeply and asked Leesha for forgiveness, but Leesha did not understand at all Gared! The main point that determined Gared's growth, was when his dad died: Steave was all the family Gared had and was also his role model: strong, bully, handsome cutter, but also the kind of person who is charismatic enough to become a leader. When Gared's father died, he started to look to Arlen as role model and started showing respect for others, kindness and also his own sensibility. Leesha (and Elona too) never considered Gared more than a dumb fuck boy. She seems to ignore all the personalities of the men who surrounded her: Gared, Rojer, Arlen, Jardir are only instruments. Not person to her. In this part she is very close to her mom.

Leesha Paper Vs Renna Tanner

This is about two female characters in The Painted Man series. If you like demons and old/alternative worlds then this is definitely a series that you need to read. I hate one, I love the other. This is why.

Leesha Paper: Possibly the character I hate the most in every book series ever (apart from Umbridge but then she is the most hateful character ever). At first I hated Leesha due to her perfect nature. She is the typical perfect character that male writers always seem to try and push into their stories, not realising this makes them the most unlikable. She is the most beautiful, talented, smart, independent, forgiving, kind, understand of everyone even the jerks that don’t deserve it. It made her so annoying and I really just hated her. Even when they tried to give you a tragic family life, I just wished her mother would have killed her off quickly and then jumped into a Corelings mouth already so we could be free of both of them. Then I got to know her. And I hated her even more. Not only is she portrayed as being perfect, but now she is a complete hypocrite. I mean she sleeps around (she’s suddenly amazing at sex, by the way, despite being a virgin up until now) and then has a go at others who sleep around. I’m telling you, some of my favourite scenes are when Leesha is crying or miserable.

Renna Tanner: I love her. I always did! From the minute she was introduced, I liked her. She was interesting. Her character is interesting. She’s beautiful, yes, but she is also angry a lot and insecure. She’s not that smart but she does have talents in fighting and she works on them to make her more talented. In other words. She’s human! (Which is ironic considering Leesha seems less human and Renna’s the one eating demon flesh with wards painted on her skin). It means I can relate to her and I like her and I just like her.

In summary, Leesha is an annoying character I hope dies while Renna is an interesting character that I hope lives happily (if not adventurously) with Arlen.
