![]() As far as we've seen, Dave and Ben are the only men she's dated without some kind of off-putting quirk or glaring character flaw. Incidents include a blazing dress, an Ambien overdose, a date sticking his hand in her mouth as she slept, and a free MRI. She's seldom had a "normal" date-something extremely outlandish happens, or the date himself is outlandish. She also loves Belgian waffles, specifically the ones from JJ's Diner. Trademark Favorite Food: She piles whipped cream onto everything.Increasingly looks like this will be averted completely, as her work is getting her more attention - at least from local Pawnee politicians.She also has no doubt that she will one day be president of the United States. She's not full of herself, but she's convinced that her small government job is much more important than it really is. Oblivious to Love: Initially, regarding Ben's interest in her.Number Two: Officially, she is this to Ron, but she actually does all the work.The Messiah: Edging closer to this trope as her Determinator qualities make her more and more effective.Hypercompetent Sidekick: A rare example of the lead character fitting this trope.She really likes cute things, but not to an annoying degree. How many people do you picture fixing the controversy with Jerry's painting by making Jerry make a new one in which Tom is the bare chested centaur instead of a female bare chested centaur.? Genre Savvy: A lot more than average government officials it seems.She made best friend Ann watch all eight movies even though she doesn't like Harry Potter. Fan Girl: When it comes to Harry Potter.Expository Hairstyle Change: Wears a small, very tight French braid in her hair curving around the top of her head in "Jerry's Painting", apparently because she takes very well to being compared to a Greek goddess. ![]() Does Not Like Salad: Or other disgusting things.Distaff Counterpart: Back in the first season, critics tended to dismiss Leslie as " Michael Scott in a skirt", but it's generally agreed that she became more her own character after the series Grew the Beard, as unlike Michael Scott, she is not only good at her job, but totally deserved to have been promoted into it.All while she was near delirious with the flu, and quickly reverted to sickness-induced delirium during a short Q&A session. Determinator: Best exemplified by her masterful oration of her speech intended to attract sponsors to Harvest Festival.Character Development: Leslie had some Michael Scott-ish aspects to her personality in Season 1, but in Season 2 the character became much less obnoxious, and more of a hyper-competent, upbeat Pollyanna.She is however, an extremely eccentric Adult Child.

Her overextension is given attention again in "Sweet Sixteen", where Ron states that she's been pulling 100 hours a week trying to give equal attention to her job and her city council campaign.This becomes especially apparent in "Christmas Scandal", where it's shown that her duties are so numerous that the combined efforts of all six of her coworkers can't get the job done.In many cases, she ends up ratting herself out. Bad Liar: Honest to a fault, Leslie's rare attempts at subterfuge invariably fall flat.In some episodes, she is presented with an immoral way to achieve one of her goals and considers using it, but ultimately she ends up feeling guilty and doesn't go through with it.
