O nome dela é Leaf e ela é uma das Filhos da Floresta , uma antiga raça não humana que as pessoas de Westeros acreditam estar extintas há muito tempo ou serem apenas um mito.
The Children of the Forest are a mysterious non-human race that were reportedly the original inhabitants of the continent of Westeros. They were already living in Westeros when the First Men migrated to the continent, 12,000 years before Robert's Rebellion. According to legend they were last seen during the Andal Invasion 6,000 years before the War of the Five Kings.
Eles se parecem com crianças na aparência, daí o nome:
The Children of the Forest were said to be humanoid, but when grown to manhood they were no taller than human children. Their facial features are very rounded and soft, like a very small child. They also have disproportionately large and expressive eyes (like human babies'), which are set wider in their face than would be normal for a human child of the same height.
A cultura deles estava associada à natureza e adoravam Antigos Deuses da Floresta . Eles também tiveram acesso a strongs magias.
Inicialmente, eles lutaram com os Primeiros Homens quando estes apareceram em Westeros, mas acabaram fazendo as pazes com eles e as duas raças coexistiram.
White Walkers são, na verdade, seus inimigos e ajudaram pessoas de Westeros durante a invasão:
The Pact lasted for two thousand years before the enigmatic White Walkers invaded from the uttermost north, bringing death and destruction to both races. The Children of the Forest allied with the First Men to drive back the White Walkers in the War for the Dawn eight thousand years ago. After the defeat of the Others, the Children, much-reduced in number, are said to have helped Bran the Builder raise the Wall with their powerful magics to prevent the White Walkers' return.
