| {{Quote|Dearest Marle, I know things are tough between you and your father. But nothing can break your bond of blood. Neither words of anger, nor great distances.

| {{nihongo|'''Queen Leene'''|リーネ王妃|rīne ōhi}} is a character in {{CT}}.

Along with her husband, [[King Guardia XXI]], she sits in [[Guardia Castle]] as its ruler.

| ==Appearance==
| | In 600 AD, Queen Leene is kidnapped by [[Fiend|Fiends]] led by [[Yakra]] and was held prisoner in [[Manolia Cathedral]]. In the original timeline before [[Crono]], [[Marle]] and [[Lucca]] intervened, a search party was sent out and successfully rescued her, but when Marle arrived she was mistaken for the queen and the search was called off. In order to protect the timeline, Crono then was forced to rescue the queen himself. With the aid of Lucca and a shapeshifted swordsman calling himself [[Frog]], Crono successfully defeated Yakra and returned Queen Leene to Guardia Castle. |
| Queen Leene positions her blond hair in a fancy knot pinned to her head. Lacy white gowns are what she is always depicted in, along with elbow-length gloves of the same color. Her sprite depicts a smaller version of these gloves and adds a bluish tinge to her usual white garments. In her official artwork, Leene wears a blue pendant around her neck. This [[pendant]] very well may be the exact one bequeathed to Marle in the future. She wears a coral pin that is very dear to her.

| ==Biography==
| |
| [[Image:Leene.gif|36px|left]]Queen Leene is the bright, cheerful ruler and wife to King Guardia XXI in 600 A.D. She marries into the family in 590 A.D., and is present to send off [[Cyrus]] and Frog to search for the [[Masamune]] and [[Hero's Badge]]. Her deep care for the two and others evidence a touching, considerate personality and kind disposition. During 600 A.D., she is kidnapped by [[Yakra]] as part of a plan to cause chaos in the [[Kingdom of Guardia]]; originally, she is to be found by intensively searching the [[Manolia Cathedral]], but this iss altered when Marle enters the Middle Ages from the [[Millennial Fair]]. She is then mistaken to be the queen, and the search is withdrawn. Leene meanwhile is interred in Manolia Cathedral, apparently to be eaten; after Marle disappears due to a {{w|grandfather paradox}}, [[Crono]], [[Lucca]] and [[Frog]] quickly defeat him and released the queen. She expresses her gratitude, though Frog departs, feeling guilty for her abduction. | |

|
| When the King is injured in battle shortly after, Leene kneels by his side throughout his recovery. Later, she oversees the keeping of the [[Rainbow Shell]] within the castle and composed a letter to her descendant, Marle. The contents imply that at some point in her life she figures out that Marle is her descendant.

|
| Cyrus, too, is able to rest in peace after learning that Leene is in good hands with Frog. After the events of ''Chrono Trigger'', the smith [[Banta]] completes [[Leene's Bell]], a copper bell commissioned by the King as a symbol of his love. It hangs in [[Leene Square]]. Later, the bell is replaced by Nadia's Bell, a silver duplicate of the original.

| ==Trivia==
| | Later in the game. Marle finds a letter attached to the rainbow shell in 1000 AD from Queen Leene, saying that family is permenant. |
| *''Leene'' may be a cheek-in-tongue way of saying ''lean'', referencing her yielding disposition. Alternatively, ''Leene'' is a Germanic variant of ''Helene'', coming from ''{{w|Helen of Troy}}'', whose kidnap sparked a famous war amoung the Trojans.
| |
| *A decoy of Leene exists in Manolia Cathdral near the room with [[Magus]]' Statue. Alternatively, a second decoy of her exists in [[Fiendlord's Keep]] as a trap for Frog. Each player in the party is tempted by someone they deeply care for. Frog's illusion is Leene.
| |
| *It is never mentioned how Queen Leene became aware of the dispute between [[King Guardia XXXIII]] and Marle, although discovering that Marle was her descendant could be inferred by their similar physical appearance.
| |
| *In one [[List of Chrono Trigger endings|ending]] of ''Chrono Trigger'', Queen Leene marries Frog; and as such Marle and her father are transformed into anthropomorphic frogs.
