-'''Leah''' is a beautiful young woman, [[Deckard Cain]]'s adopted daughter and assistant. She appears as an [[NPC]] in the game, traveling with and assisting the character and taking on a more active role than the aged, infirm Cain could realistically manage.
+'''Leah''' is one of the main NPCs in Diablo III. She is a regular source of conversation and quests in town, as well as a giver and rewarder of quests. She even ventures out into the dungeons with the player, on at least two occasions in Act One.
-She was also the narrator of and appeared in the Diablo III introductory cinematic, though it's not known if she'll continue that role in the final game [[cinematics]].

-Leah appears in and narrates the Diablo III introductory cinematic trailer. (Confirmed when Blizzard released a wallpaper with her image on it, entitled "Leah.") [[http://www.diii.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=1149&cat=550]
+==In-Game Appearances==
-She was also mentioned as a companion of Deckard Cain in the first gameplay trailer, released at the Paris WWI in 2008, with the game's debut. In that gameplay movie, when the [[Barbarian]] rescues Cain, he tells Cain to hurry back to the village since Leah worries about him.
+Leah is first encountered very early in Diablo III. She is the second NPC players speak with, after [[Captain Rumford]] at the front game of Tristram directs the new character to speak with Leah in the [[Slaughtered Calf Inn]]. There Leah explains what she knows about the fallen star and urges players to help find her lost Uncle Deckard. Soon afterwards, she accompanies your character on their journey to [[Adria's Shack]], opening the locked gate out of [[Old Tristram]].
-Leah was seen, wielding a bow and arrow, beside Cain in screenshots of the Caravan town area, in August 2010.
+Leah joins the player in adventures later in Act Two as well, as shown in Blizzard's Inferno gameplay teaser movie.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/get-ready-to-die]
-Jay Wilson spoke about her in an interview from Gamescom, August 2010: [http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-indiablo.de-part-two/]
+It's not yet known if Leah travels with the [[Caravan]] into later acts of the game. It's been much speculated that she has a large roll in the ultimate events of the game, perhaps even acting as Diablo's human host, but this is not confirmed. See the [[sheablo]] article for details.
-::'''Jay Wilson: '''Leah is the adopted daughter of Deckard Cain. Cain’s a lot older; we felt like we needed another char to play some of his role. And also to be more active. We wanted a char who was out in the world with the player who would interact and help out. She’s a quest giver and sometimes companion.
+===Pre-Beta Sightings===
 [[File:Leah-npc-ingame.jpg|thumb|300px|Leah concept art and in-game view.]]
-Leah and Deckard Cain can be seen in the screenshots of the Caravan, from August 2010. Both are standing in a shadow near the very top of the screen in the images; a cropped version is seen to the left, with the levels turned up to make them more visible.
+Prior her role being confirmed by the beta testing, there were several clear indications that Leah was an early, instrumental NPC.
 Prior to this official appearance, Leah made a sneak preview in an April Fool's screenshot with the [[Archivist]]. She was not initially recognized in the screenshot, partially since she's facing away from the camera, but her costume corresponds very well to the concept art of Leah seen in the Blizzard Museum at BlizzCon in August, 2009.
 A fan realized this and pointed her out in September 2009, and a confirming comparison of the images can be seen to the right. [http://www.diii.net/blog/comments/npc-leah-spotted-in-game/]
 ==Plot Speculation==
-There was speculation going about that [[Leah]], the girl from the cinematic trailer, is actually the daughter of [[Pablo DeSoto]] mentioned in the lore, in the writing's of [[Abd al-Hazir]] as presented on Blizzard's website. This remains unconfirmed. This encounter can be read about in the [[Writings of Abd al-Hazir: Entry no. 0020|20th entry]].
+[[File:Npc-leah-cain1.jpg|frame|Leah and [[Cain]] in the [[Caravan]].]]
-New evidence refers to the possibility that Leah is Adria's daughter.
+This is clearly not the case, now that we know Leah's origin as Cain's adopted daughter.
