Background[]
Personality[]
Although her personality isn't fully developed and didn't have much of a proactive role, Leah is shown to be a caring individual and a loving mother to her daughter,Aurora and her family, kingdom, and all of the palace servants. However, much like her husband, she’s also quite naǐve and does not show much intellect, as shown when she was easily fooled by Maleficent into claiming she wasn’t offended and unknowingly let her bestow the so-called gift on Aurora, unaware that their failure to invite Maleficent would consequently cause their daughter to get cursed.
Physical appearance[]
Leah is a slender woman with fair skin, short dark blonde hair, brown eyes, and pink lips. She wears a dark pink-and-lavender dress, a gold crown, a aqua veil, and a dark magenta cape.
Appearances[]
Sleeping Beauty[]
Queen Leah and herhusband are the monarch and consort of an unnamedEuropean kingdom (possibly inFrance during the late 1300's). After many years of marriage, she gives birth to a beautiful baby daughter which she and her husband nameAurora, after thegoddess of dawn. Her happiness is shortened whenMaleficent crashes the party. Failing to provide a proper explanation to Maleficent of why they didn't invite her, Leah asks Maleficent if she's not offended, to which the latter pretended she wasn't. After Maleficent cursed Aurora, a frightened Leah hurries to the cradle and protects her infant daughter in fright, while an enraged Stefan furiously orders his guards to arrest Maleficent, who disappears. After Merryweather softens the curse, Leah and Stefan have to give up their daughter tothe fairies in order to protect her. Like Aurora and Phillip, Leah does not speak again for the rest of the film.
Sixteen years later, she is waiting for the return of her daughter. But when Aurora touches the spindle, the Queen, her husband,King Hubert, the servants, and the entire kingdom are put to sleep bythe Good Fairies to prevent them from becoming heartbroken with the revelation.
Like Aurora, Stefan, and Hubert, Leah is not seen again until the end of the film when she, along with daughter, her husband, and everyone else in the realm, wakes up from their eternal slumber, thanks toPrince Phillip, who defeated Maleficent and broke the curse on Aurora. Leah and Stefan finally reunite with their daughter, whom she embraces and cries tears of happiness when she sees her with Phillip.
Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams[]
In the short segment, Queen Leah, King Stefan, King Hubert, and Prince Phillip all leave town to a royal ceremony where Hubert is due to give a speech. Trusting their daughter, Stefan and Leah give Aurora the "keys to the kingdom" while they're away, leaving Aurora as temporary ruler of the kingdom and aided by their fussbudget majordomo,Lord Duke. When they come back to town from a royal ceremony, Duke warns them about the magic incident. So as they enter the throne room, no green pigs, giant chickens, and cows are shown, as a result of Aurora solving her problem. Leah is seen at the end of the segment when she attends a royal banquet that is hosted by Aurora, along with Duke, Stefan, Hubert, Phillip, Merryweather, Flora, and Fauna.

Trivia[]
- In the French version, she is calledReine Orhiane orReine Oriane, although some media called herReine Béatrice.
- In real life, Leah's position as queen would not be secure after giving birth to Aurora; it was customary for most queens to give birth to at least two sons first.
- Aurora looks pretty much identical to Leah, with the only real differences being that Aurora has longer and lighter-colored hair and a slightly rounder face compared to Leah.
- Despite having less lines and screen time, as well as not having a proactive role, Queen Leah is the first mother of a Disney Princess to be alive in the film, though she and King Stefan both die inMaleficent. The second isFa Li (Mulan's mother), the third isEudora (Tiana's mother), the fourth isQueen Arianna (Rapunzel's mother) the fifth isElinor (Merida's mother), and the sixth isSina (Moana's mother).
- Though King Stefan and Queen Leah do not appear inKingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, the thrones on which they sit are present in the hall of the castle, whereTerra faces the Wheel Master Unversed.
- Like Aurora and Phillip, Leah is muted in the second half of the film, due to her having only two lines in the original film.
- Although it is often suggested by fans that the lateVerna Felton, who voiced Flora in the same film, might have provided two lines Queen Leah, the truth may still never be known because the studio still has no specific records of who had really voiced Leah. The same goes for both the unnamedherald andDiablo.
