Leila is a Roman demigod daughter of Ceres, centurion of the Fourth Cohort and an old comrade of Jason Grace. She reluctantly fought in the Second Demigod Civil War, led by Octavian, centurion of the First Cohort, as well as Praetor Reyna Ramírez-Arellano.
History[]
Ceres, her mother
Little is known about Leila's past. It can be inferred that she was trained at the Wolf House by the wolf goddess Lupa just like most other Roman demigods did. At some point, she made her way south toward Camp Jupiter and was accepted into the legion by the augur.
It is unknown how long Leila has been a member of Camp Jupiter or even if she took part in the Second Titan War. However, when Jason Grace sees her in a vision, he refers to her as an old comrade. It is also unknown if she fought in the Attack on Camp Jupiter, alongside Reyna Ramírez-Arellano and the new recruit Percy Jackson, as she is never mentioned by name but it can be inferred that she did.
