Lebno Listchaque

Slender in build, Lebno keeps his light-colored hair at medium length, parted toward the left side. He has lengthy sideburns, slim brows, and a sharp nose. His outfit consists of a pale suit over a button-up dress shirt patterned with stripes, its three upper buttons left open, finished off by a wristwatch.

Shallow and snobbish, Lebno prizes looks and riches well above quality or loyalty. His superiority complex leaves him deaf to the troubles of ordinary folk, and he is untroubled that his footwear pinches, choosing prestige over comfort. He juggles several lovers, keeps glamorous and well-placed company, and sneers at anyone he judges unfit to don his designs. Though celebrated worldwide as a maker of shoes and clothing, the shoes he turns out are uncomfortable and leave wearers in pain.

Lebno grew up in the upper class, and once he began crafting shoes, their popularity climbed. International acclaim followed, and his clientele came to include celebrities, actresses, royals, and artists. Among his hires was Miucha, who came to work at his shop and grew infatuated with him, though he returned no affection and favored other women. Miucha thought of herself as the lesser designer, yet she broke with his stance on comfort and quality, sensing that he had turned distant and judgmental as his renown swelled and had surrendered his pride to consumerism.

One day Lebno walked into his shop and found Nami requesting a refund from Miucha. Smitten by the navigator's looks, he set aside his no-return rule and invited her to model in his runway show, instructing Miucha to fit her. Seated in the front row beside one of his lovers, he proclaimed that only a chosen handful of women deserved to wear his label. To his shock, Nami strode the runway in plain clothing and Miucha's shoes rather than his. After the show Miucha confronted him and resigned to set up as an independent shoemaker, encouraged by Nami to step out from Lebno's shadow, and Nami robbed his store on her way out.
