Leann Norwood is a Witch Hunter working with the Light House.

Personality

She is an empathetic person that puts a lot of effort into the emotional needs of those around them.

She became a Witch Hunter to prevent others suffering the same fate she endured.<ref name=":0">Leann had known she had to fight to protect others from the same fate, and she wished dearly that Elise didn’t feel the same way.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.a</ref>

Relationships

Leann loves her daughter deeply but worries about her future and the dangers ahead.<ref name=":0" /> She's concerned she has became acclimatised to the horrors of her job.<ref>Leann found herself wishing her daughter was struggling.  That the decisions made and the reality of having to deal with the children marked with numbers were weighing on her more.

She would have felt so much better than she did right now if Elise was sobbing and inconsolable over the decisions they’d had to make.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.a</ref>

She took Miss's advice when visiting Kennet in order to avoid conflict within her team.

Abilities

Leann is skilled at healing people, she trained as a nurse but never completed her studies.<ref>Leann was more middle of the road.  She kept them going.  A thump on the chest from her fist seemed like it could revive people a team of doctors and a defibrillator couldn’t.  She’d failed out of nursing school when it had all gone- well, before she’d gone to the Lighthouse, but the skills she’d picked up and retained went a long, long way to keeping the team patched up and able.

She liked to think that it extended to other fields.  Morale.  Support.  She cooked for them a lot of the time, and she might not have been the best at it, but nobody complained, and maybe her food was a medicine like a thump of her fist could be a defibrillator or a haphazard stitch job could help like field surgery from the next guy did - Excerpt from False Moves 12.a</ref>

She wields a pistol.<ref>the one woman Clint’s mom’s age was carrying a pistol or something.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.a</ref>

Chronology

She became aware when her husband found a magic object that transported people to a savage land far away, he used it to make co-workers disappear, eventually leading to the collapse of the company. After being used something from that place has the opportunity to escape if it can reach a portal that opens every twenty four days. The user of the magic object would have to kill whatever returned.

Eventually Practitioners start investigating and her husband hides the device. Leann discovers it after the investigation dies down and he sends her to the other realm. Leann fights her way to the exit only to find her daughter has also been sent their, she lets Elise exit and manages to escape after waiting another twenty four days. Her husband ended up getting arrested and the pair of them are found by the Light House.<ref>A long eight years ago, Elise’s father had stumbled onto a trinket.  A magic item, maybe a cursed one.  A clock with a spherical face that let the distorted face be seen from any direction, so blue that it evoked deepest sea or furthest sky.  The sphere had been inset on a golden base, surrounded and held in place by golden, cherubic infants bearing snakes, with more golden snakes for the minute and hour hands.

A rival at his work had disappeared.  Then a woman at his workplace, that she’d frankly suspected him of having an affair with.  Then his boss.  The company hadn’t survived the restructuring that had followed, and many more people had gone missing.  People had investigated, including private investigators that might have been practitioners, if she applied details that she knew now that she didn’t know then.

That attention had become fevered when the coworker her husband had had the affair with had returned twenty-four days after her departure, symbols etched into her skin and scarred over, naked, feral, and angry, choosing him to target and attack before being gunned down by a security guard at her husband’s work.  It had redoubled when she mentioned the strange animal her husband had killed and bagged before throwing it in their trash.  She’d found it and been so creeped out, but she’d taken his word for it when he’d described it as a chance mutation of something like a coyote.

Too many had gone missing but when people had investigated, her husband had claimed innocence.  The investigators hadn’t been able to find the clock, but Leann had seen it present before the interview, noticed it gone after, and she’d noticed its reappearance in her husband’s ‘man cave’ when the attention had died down.

She’d pried, and he’d attacked her, wrested it from her grip, and used it on her.

Opening a door to a primal, far-away, alien place where the golden sky screamed and impossible beasts lurked in dark wilds.

The cost of that device, she’d learned, was that it could send things back, on a schedule, and he’d often have to fight and kill things it sent out, to have the ability to get rid of anything in his way.  Like her.  Sometimes it sent beasts, sometimes men, sometimes men who could work magic.

She’d forged her way to the scheduled exit, only to find that a young Elise had been sent through, for asking too many questions, for refusing to take no for an answer.  She’d chosen to save Elise instead of leaving, and then she’d traveled and waited across another twenty-four days for the next exit.

She’d come through as someone who saved people.  Elise as someone very good at doing a grisly amount of damage to others.

Authorities had taken her husband, private investigators had taken the clock, and the Lighthouse had found them.- Excerpt from False Moves 12.a</ref>

She helped save Clint from the monsters pretending to be his parents.
