Personality
Although she puts on a reasonable, even cheerful facade, Leroute is extremely manipulative. An expert gambler, she has a perfect poker face and is very perceptive.
Background
Leroute was sentenced 112 years in prison due to illegal gambling and trafficking of endangered species.[1] In the 1999 series, she was a psychologist who would manipulate her patients into committing suicide.
Plot
Hunter Exam arc
Leroute is the fourth prisoner to fight in Trick Tower. She goes against Leorio, but their match is actually a series of bets. After manipulating Leorio, she wins the match and Leorio’s team loses 50 hours in the process. Her sentence is also reduced by 50 years.[1]
Abilities & Powers
Leroute is not a fighter, but in the 1999 anime she is very dangerous nonetheless. She is extremely analytical and knowledgeable in psychology, to the point she can nearly read the mind of a person and effectively guess what memories haunt them the most, to use them to inflict pain or even force her victim to commit suicide. She figured out Leorio’s thought pattern the moment she set her eyes on him. Additionally, she is very attractive, which contributes to the influence she has on her targets. In the manga and the 2011 anime, she is shown to be a good gambler with knowledge in statistics and who is able to anticipate the moves of her opponent.
