Leni Loud

Leni L. Loud is a main character in The Loud House.

Biography
Leni is the second oldest child in the Loud family, at 16, which makes her also the second oldest of the sisters. In contrast to Lori, she is very naive and acts like the very stereotypical "dumb blonde," but she makes up for it in beauty and kindness. Her most annoying habit is saying "like".

Personality
Though the second-oldest of the Louds, Leni is comically ditsy. In "Linc or Swim", she doesn't know the rules of the game, "Marco Polo", much to Luan's annoyance. In "Project Loud House" she literally cannot walk and chew bubble gum at the same time. In "Changing the Baby", while she is showing Lily fashion magazines, she is in Lily's crib and thinks that it's a prison, Lincoln's and Lori do not seem to be strangers to this and 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. In "House Music" she didn't understand Luna's simple singing instruction. However she's shown to be the kindest, and most friendly of the Loud siblings, so she gets along 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.

Leni proved that she can be irresponsible as she agreed to cover for Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lucy, Lola, and Lana and gave the task of covering for them to Lincoln, giving him an incredibly hard time.

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 also 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 is almost as tall as Lori. 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.

Leni's original design depicted her with a light blue dress, snow boots instead of sandals, and a hairstyle that looks like Lori's but only longer.

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.

Her siblings generally
Her younger siblings regard her as a very sweet and kind-hearted older sister, contrasting Lori, but her ignorance and clumsiness can easily conflict against and irritate her siblings. They all love her very much and always take very good care of her. She'll always help them in return without letting low intelligence stop her when they need it most.

Lincoln
They get along very well, and are very kind to each other. Leni's ignorance annoys Lincoln, but he tolerates it because of her kind and friendly nature. Along with Luna she has the best relationship with Lincoln out of all the Loud sisters.

Leni is also very accepting of Lincoln's odd white hair, shown both in "Chore and Peace" when she said it makes him look like their grandfather, Pop Pop (which is accurately correct as in Cover Girls), and in "Ties That Bind", strongly defending it when Mom and Dad seemed to have decided to get rid of him only.

In "Driving Miss Hazy", he helped her to pass her driving test by using her semi-language. He also convinced her to not give up trying.

In "Along Came a Sister", Lincoln brought his classes' pet tarantula home for the weekend, and Leni tried to kill it out of fear. However, after she learned Lincoln will have big trouble in school because of the dead spider, she felt very sorry for him. When the spider is still alive, she protected it to save her brother's status quo showing how much she loves her brother, and the good person she is.

In "Linc or Swim", she was always the first to invite him to join them, first, to "chill" with them next to the open fridge, second, in to the Paradise for One pool he set up when he imagined his sisters would take over and he wouldn't be able to get in (this shows how nice Leni really is compared to the others, unconditionally offering him to get in to the pool with her and Lori) and third into a newly purchased pool even though he kicked them out of his.

In "House Music", the siblings decided to form a music band, and while all the sisters left Lincoln ends up getting hogtied to the floor, thanks to Lana, Leni was the only one who returned for Lincoln and apologized to him, and she carried him like a handbag, much to his annoyance.

In "Cover Girls", she helps cover for Lincoln by asking their parents how they met so Lincoln could have more time to get into his room before his parents.

In "Cereal Offender", she was freeing the Lobsters from the tank at Super Mart with balloons, then Lincoln told her not to, so they wouldn't get kicked out.

Lori
Though differing in intelligence and friendliness, Lori and Leni are very good friends who like to hang out together. They both behave like any teen girl; both enjoy fashion, take selfies of themselves, and talk about boys. Lori is also pending of Leni's ignorance, and can be bossy towards Leni like towards the rest of her siblings and controls her too much which Leni doesn't like.

In "Driving Miss Hazy" Lori didn't want Leni to pass her driving test because then her siblings would ask Leni to drive them places instead of her; therefore she would no longer be able to get them to do favors for her. She sabotaged Leni's driving test but later she felt extremely guilty for her thoughtless actions and wanted to fix her mistake by helping her prepare for her next test.

In "It's a Loud, Loud, Loud, Loud, House" they both teamed up to search for hidden money in their house.

Luan
Luan gets easily annoyed by Leni's stupidity as much as Leni gets annoyed by Luan's bad jokes. Luan often scares Leni with her plastic spider.

Lisa
Lisa often uses Leni as a test subject to prove her experiments and inventions. The reason of this is because of Leni's poor intelligence. This is evidenced in various episodes like in "Project Loud House" when Lisa changed Leni's blemish cream for an experimental skin pigmentation ointment, turning her skin blue.

In "Butterfly Effect", Leni becomes smarter than Lisa after being hit in the head with a coat rack. This caused Lisa to give up on science, and gets a job at a gas station.

Given their completely different IQ levels, Leni's stupidity tends to get on Lisa's nerves at times.

Lily
She and Leni have a good friendship, and second to Luna is the one who holds Lily the most. In "Changing the Baby" Leni tries to implement her interests on Lily because she had nobody that share her likes.

Clyde
Clyde and Leni's friendship seems to be pretty good. In the episode "Overnight Success", she asks for his help on a new facial cream she needs to test on before trying it. She also seems to enjoy his company at the sleepover.

In "Along Came a Sister", Clyde recalls one time on Halloween when Leni mistook his spider costume for a real spider and sprayed him with bug spray. Of course, this was just her arachnophobia getting the better of her.
