	Leaf says that she was born during "the time of the dragon", apparently meaning at some point after [[Aegon I Targaryen]] conquered and united the Seven Kingdoms [[War of Conquest|300 years ago]]. She is at least two centuries old because she also says that she secretly walked the world of men for 200 years observing them from the forests before growing weary and deciding to return home to the hidden cave beyond the Wall.

−	Leaf does not use any magic to destroy the wights that attack Bran and his companions. Instead, she darts between them with a torch in hand, setting them on fire.	+	The novels have never described the Children of the Forest casting fireballs the way that Leaf seems to in the Season 4 finale - though in the scene, Leaf might be throwing some kind of volatile object at the wights (the camera doesn't focus on her hand). Whatever the case, they are described as magically powerful in the novels and have only briefly appeared in the fifth book - so it is possible that they ''can'' cast fireballs in the novels, and it just hasn't been seen yet. In the book version of the scene, Leaf lights the wights on fire using a torch, by darting around and between them with amazing speed and agility.
