Relationships with other characters[]

Leonard Helperman []

Leslie is Leonard's best friend. They were inseparable growing up, until the 4th grade when she decided to not hang out with him as much because he's a boy, but they remained good friends. Leonard likes Leslie, but she does not know that and only regards him as a friend. There are some episodes that involve a strained friendship. For example, in "A Lick Is Still A Kiss", an annoyed Leslie confronts Leonard, accusing him of spreading a rumor and saying that she doesn't want to speak to him again. Later, when things are cleared, she comes to Leonard's house to apologize and they become friends again.

Younghee Mandlebom[]

Younghee is Leslie's best friend. They are often seen hanging out together, although Younghee tends to be sassy towards Leslie when she does something that annoys her. It is unknown if Leslie is aware that Younghee secretly likes Leonard.

Trivia[]

  • Leslie has a doll called "Mrs. Fluffington." 
  • The only episode where Mae Whitman doesn't voice Leslie is in "Taint Valentine's Day," where she is voiced by Cree Summer instead. However, she only has a few lines.
  • In "Pet Project," she is revealed to have a pet rabbit named Lady Fluffer Cottontail.
  • She has a grandmother named Granny Smith, who operates a farm growing Granny Smith apples.[4] This would imply her mother's maiden name is Smith.
  • It is implied in "All About Eavesdropping" that Leslie does know that Leonard likes her, seeing as she knew that he and Spot were eavesdropping on her and the girls and said his name when pretending to reveal what she wants in a guy.
