Leni Loud

Leni Loud is a main character in The Loud House.

Biography
Leni is the second-oldest child in the Loud family, at 16. She is also the second oldest of the older sisters. In contrast to Lori, Lincoln, Lisa, she is very naive and acts like the very stereotypical "dumb blonde", but she makes up for it in beauty and kindness.

Personality
She is not very bright which is something to The Loud Family, like in "Linc or Swim", she doesn't know the rules of the game, "Marco Polo", much to Luan's annoyance and/or dismay. In "Changing the Baby", while she is showing Lily fashion magazines, she is in Lily's crib and thinks that it's a prison, much to Lincoln's and Lori's agony, so they help her out. In "Sleuth or Consequences", when she's being interrogated by Lincoln and Lucy, she thinks they're interviewing her and claims her favorite color is zebra, which is an animal.

However she's shown to be the kindest, and most friendly of the Loud siblings, so she gets on well with them. She also has talents in fashion designing, wood carving, lock-picking, and making smoothies which demonstrates that while she may not be very bright she is at least creative, and artistically inclined. She suffers from arachnophobia as seen in "Left in the Dark", and "No Guts, No Glori". This is most prominent in "Along Came a Sister", where Lincoln brings home his classes' pet spider Frances, and Leni attempts to kill her with bug spray. Later on she is still alive, and the Exterminator comes to dispose of her, but she overcomes her fear in order to save Lincoln's good name showing the big heart she has. While she can also have her moments of being inconsiderate her good nature overshadows those moments. She is very fond of romantic and cute moments. She quickly gives up and panics and needs her siblings to restore her motivation.

Nick Description
"Leni Loud loves designing outfits and accessories to go with them. Leni's easily distracted by shiny objects and often walks into walls while talking, but what Leni lacks in smarts, she makes up for in heart. She's the sweetest Loud around!"

Appearance
Leni has long blonde hair, and she wears a frilled turquoise dress, red hoop earrings, white sandals on her feet with a green bow on each sandal and black and white sunglasses on top of her head. Her night attire is a turquoise nightgown with a magenta sleeping mask, it looks very similar to her regular outfit, but sleeveless. Her swim attire is a two piece green tube top with a skirt and a swim cap with a white bow on it.

On Halloween, she dresses as a pink flamingo. In "Driving Miss Hazy", her "Special Driving Outfit" is a green race suit over a green undershirt, green gloves with a matching skirt, lime green leggings and white boots. She later sports a green helmet.
