Datalog
''Friends with Snow from a young age, Lebreau is one of the founding members of NORA. She runs the café they opened to fund NORA's operations, and her cooking is one of the best-kept secrets in Bodhum.''

With her brusque, no-nonsense manner, the young woman is treated just like one of the guys, and she would have it no other way.

Appearance and Personality
Character designer Nao Ikeda said, "She talks and acts much more mature for her age, and sometimes acts as if she's the mother of NORA," giving insight into her personality. Her design was based on volleyball players, and Lebreau's character design and costume is due to the beach location of NORA's base.

Story
Lebreau comes from the seaside town of Bodhum, where she tends a bar near to the beach. She also watches over members of the self-funded monster hunting group NORA, along with Snow, Gadot, Yuj, and Maqui.

When the Purge was initiated to all Bodhum residents due to the discovery of a Pulse fal'Cie at the Pulse Vestige ruins nearby, Lebreau joins NORA, which was turned into a resistance group against the Sanctum.

Lebreau's fate, along with the rest of Team NORA, is unknown after the Hanging Edge events, as they are only seen in flashbacks afterward. However, she comes back along with Gadot, Yuj, and Maqui during the events in Eden, where the team declare they remain loyal to Snow despite him being a l'Cie.

Trivia

 * By using an Xbox 360 hack, Lebreau can be made playable beyond her stint in the Hanging Edge. This hack only exists on the 360 port, and is impossible on the PlayStation 3.
 * Lebreau is the only character other than the party leader that will use a Potion.
