Celeb you're using: Charlize Theron
Physical Appearance:

Leto, or Latona appears as a skinny woman in in her early to mid thirties. The pale skinned has straight golden brown hair (almost like dark blonde), which falls down to her back. Her small eyes are deep blue, likely twin lakes with thick lashes and pointy brown eyebrows. Leto's lips aren't full, it's slim and thin, unlike everybody else's.

About her clothing, nothing really much. She dresses like a Greek goddess in usual. She enjoys wearing her purple long traditional dress. It's her only dark colored dress, other than that, she enjoyed wearing lavender dresses and other light dresses.

Personality Description:

Leto is considered to be the gentlest among the gods yet the nicest. She's actually wise too, but not as wise as Athena. Sometimes, people compare her to Hera. Leto's personality is almost similar to the Queen of the gods herself. Leto's caring, kindness, to jealousy, nothing much different than Hera. Although Hera is more jealous than her.

As a mother, of course Leto is better. Likely normal mothers, she's often worried about her children. She doesn't easily trust the words "Don't worry Mother, I'll be fine.", especially when her children are facing problem. She knows her children aren't fine. They say that not to make their mother panic. That's why, Leto always wants to know what problem their children are having and tries to give solution to solve it.

But in this story, where her children are fighting, Leto seems unable to solve. Eris' power is too strong, leaving Leto sitting restlessly, thinking what she should do as a mother, in her palace.

Likes:

• Talking with her children
  
• Gathering with the other gods and titans
  
• Wandering around the mortal world, disguising as a mortal peasant named Charis
  

Dislikes:

• One and only Niobe
  
• Hera, sometimes, because she's closer to Zeus
  
• When her children are having a problem
  

Strength:

• Unforgivable curse, like she did on a woman like Niobe for boasting her superiority to Leto
  
• Passion as a mother
  
• The gentlest among the gods
  

Weaknesses:

• Jealousy
  
• She worried a lot on her children
  
• Losing her patience

History:

Leto, the daughter of the Titans Phoebe and Coeus. Known as the hidden one and bright one, her name came to be used for the moon Selene. Hera was jealous of Leto because Zeus, the husband of Hera, had fallen in love with her. From their union Leto bore the divine twins, Artemis and Apollo. Leto found this to be an arduous task, as Hera had refused Leto to give birth on either terra firma or on an island out at sea. The only place safe enough to give birth was Delos because Delos was a floating island. Therefore, Leto did not refute the wishes of Hera. In some versions, Leto was refused by other vicinities because they feared the great power of the god she would bear. To show her gratitude, Leto anchored Delos to the bottom of the Aegean with four columns, to aid its stability. A conflict of legends arises when in one version it says that Artemis was born one day before Apollo, and the birth took place on the island of Ortygia. Then the next day, Artemis helped Leto to cross to the island of Delos, and aided Leto with the delivery of Apollo.

Leto, being the mother of Artemis and Apollo, figured as the motive for the slaughter was Niobe's children was that Niobe had been bragging to Leto about bearing fourteen children (in some versions six or seven). Leto had only born two, and to make matters worse, Niobe then had the audacity to say, it must make her more significant than Leto. When the divine twins were told of this insult, they killed all Niobe's children with their deadly arrows. After which Niobe wept for her dead children so much that she turned into a pillar of stone. From one version of how Apollo slew the monster Python, it was said that while Leto was still pregnant with the divine twins, Python tried to molest her. As punishment, Apollo killed him and then took control of the oracle of Delphi.

Leto was worshiped throughout Greece, but principally in Lycia (Asia Minor). In Delos and Athens, there were temples dedicated to her, although in most regions she was worshiped in conjunction with her children, Artemis and Apollo. In Egypt there is the Temple of Leto (Wadjet) at Buto, which was described by Herodotus as being connected to an island which floated. On this island (Khemmis) stood a temple to Apollo, but Herodotus dismissed the claim that it floated as merely the legend of Delos brought to Egypt from Greek tradition. The Romans called Leto "Latona".
