Your Character
You first encounter Leaf while you are trying to escape the palace as she is attempting to fight off a fae cat. After saving her from them, you can then choose to befriend and watch over her. She tells you that you might make a better royal guard given that the current ones are weak and have abandoned Leaf, and offers you a position in her court in exchange for bugs. In Chapter 5, if you tell her that the ravens have been rude to you, she defends you against them and demands that they apologise to you because you must be shown proper respect.

When you leave Kieran in Chapter 11, she tells you that if you ever need help, you just have to whistle. However, if you try to do so after Radiance reveals his/her true colors and holds you prisoner, she can't hear you because of the enchantments around the Sun Court Palace. In Chapter 15, she demonstrates her loyalty by leading all the birds in the Fae lands to aid you in the attack on the Sun Palace.

Kieran
If you have befriended Leaf, she and Kieran meet for the first time in Chapter 5. She is angry that you feed apples to the ravens instead of her, calls Kieran ugly, and tells you that if you are ever tired of serving him/her, you can come over to her court and serve her instead. During the Flower Festival, she is surprised that you are still serving Kieran, and demands for food from you. When Leaf finds you in Chapter 11 and you tell her what happened, she says that perhaps it's better that you have left Kieran, and leads you to the Sun Palace.

Trivia

 * In Chapter 9, she says that the Bird Court has their own festival called "Feast of Many Bugs".
