Léonie is a French-Canadian Maplelea doll (essentially the Canadian version of American Girl dolls). From the Maplelea website: “Léonie always likes to look her best and takes particular care to co-ordinate her outfits. She comes wearing a detailed soft knit top, a skort made of a printed and embroidered fabric and dressy red boots. Her beautiful side-parted hair is honey brown and her eyes are hazel.” In this case, it is usually pronounced Lay-oh-NEE.
