Editing Champions of the Realm Leona Device (section)

===History===

Every bit a self-made woman, Leona "Leo" Davinci started out from a humble beginning to become one of the most brilliant mind and famous inventor in whole of Averlon. Born to a pair of ordinary farmers, Leo discovered her interest in science and mechanics at a very young age. Instead of staying home and helping her parents with the farm, she went on and became the apprentice of a black smith. She was a very quick learner who constantly surprised her mentor with her quick progression and novel ideas. Soon, she began to design and build incredible machines that no one had ever dreamed about, with nothing more then metal gears and steam power. Her very first commercial product was an agricultural machine with a stationary steam engine, to help her parents and make up for all the time she spent on learning how to mold steel. It was a huge success, attracting many nobles to sponsor her studio, allowing her to create even more amazing gadgets with a much larger fund. Eventually she was recruited by the Empire into the army to design weapons of all shapes and sizes, which added a heroic aspect to her already growing reputation as "the woman from future", and her name Device had since became a synonym to any wonderful gadgets and stunning inventions.
