History

Robin introduced Leslie as her "very own lesbian" in yet another attempt to convince Ethan of her purported gayness. When asked what she saw in Robin, Leslie replied that she valued Robin's spontaneity, smarts, and general greatness,[1] although Robin seemed to see her as more of a means to an end at the time. Despite Robin's deceitfulness towards her, Leslie affectionately welcomes Robin into her apartment after Robin apologizes for her behavior and seeks solace after having alienated her Shortpacked! comrades.[2]

Leslie's appreciation for Back to the Future is extensive enough to warrant her keeping a personal canon on the subject.[3]

Recently, Robin bought Leslie the new frikkin' ginormous Millenium Falcon and a house using money supplied by special interest groups, including NAMBLA (no, not the National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes).

She later quit her old job and joined the Shortpacked! crew. After a "fight" with Robin she decided that just being Robin's friend wasn't enough. Later Robin had a conversation with Ronnie after which she came back and asked Leslie to go out on a date. However, it turns out Leslie had been married to a guy before. Because Robin was afraid of an actual relationship, she wasn't able to reciprocate Leslie's feelings completely until Roz showed up and gave her the confidence to go further in the relationship. Leslie was very pleased. After a contact-high inducing kiss from Robin, Leslie managed to get everyone hired at Shortpacked! again. She was happy she didn't wake up as a senator.

Trivia

• See, "Leslie" and "lesbian"? Get it? See? Oh, that Willis and his puns.
• Also, her last name is Bean... Her damn name is Les Bean. Ugh.
• Readers have noted Leslie's similarity in appearance to this woman, revealing Leslie's day job. Willis confirmed that they are one and the same in the first Shortpacked! collection. This was either an example of far-ahead planning and foreshadowing or lazy recycling of a pre-existing character design.
