** Likewise, her role in the story is quite similar to Princess Shahrazad from the ''Literature/ArabianNights'', since, just like literary counterpart, Leah's role is to tell different stories to her loved ones (Thorin and their children in ''Katmandu'' and King Shahryar in the Arabic tale). The only difference here with the ''Arabian Nights'' is that, while Shahrazad does this in order to save herself from being executed by the king, Leah does just to both kill time and to please her family, and also as part of family tradition in order to keep the story of Liska alive among her descendants.
