Notes
This is actually, potentially, a low-end version of her. She has some significant weaknesses (non-magical physical defense, Empathy), quite intentionally given how she acted in Grave Peril etc. As for her spellcasting: she probably drew on sponsor debt for a few spells in Changes (especially splattering the Lords of Outer Night, possibly the hound transformation). Even so, she's at least a match for anybody on the Senior Council.

EDIT: bolding, stress track for Supernatural Toughness

I don't really remember much of what Lea is good at since it's been a long time since I read the relevant books. So I can't say whether this is accurate.

I'm just here to say that that stunt should probably move Social Initiative to Rapport or some other higher skill. Same flavour, but more effective.

(I know, optimization isn't terribly relevant for NPCs, but I still dislike strictly inferior choices.)

I just took a stunt straight from YS. But yeah, I made the change.
