Leafos acts as a guide to the player throughout the game. At the beginning of ''Viva Piñata'', she gives the player the tutorial, teaching the basics of attracting piñatas, growing plants, and romancing. She also gifts you the tools needed to work in your garden, although they are in rough shape.

In ''Trouble in Paradise'', the tutorial is much more indirect, with Leafos taking a backseat. Regardless, she is still there to help the player get on their feet.

After the tutorial, Leafos is often the one to inform you about different things going on in your garden. Whether it's a level up, fights, or an introduction to a new character or piñata, Leafos is usually the one to let you know what's up via the [[alert]] system. In ''Trouble in Paradise'', she will also give the player an idea of what they have unlocked after leveling up.

Every day from around 10am-7pm, she will visit your garden. She will wander around, seeming to simply be observing your progress and interacting with your piñatas. You can talk to her while she is visiting, providing you with dialogue ranging from advice, to information about the other residents, to world building or references to the games development or other Rare titles. Be careful though, as not all of Leafos' advice is accurate, and she will sometimes mislead the player, whether intentionally or not. If it starts raining, Leafos may head home early.

More mischievous gardeners may decide to mess with Leafos, by hitting her with your [[shovel]] or watering her with the [[Watering Can|watering can]]. Doing this will cause Leafos to become angry with you though, and if you push her patience enough times, she will take the offending tool away from you for about 30 seconds.

In ''Trouble in Paradise'', two mini-games were added where you can compete against any character in-game. These are [[The Great Piñata Paperchase]], and [[The P Factor]]. Leafos can be your opponent in either game, where the piñata she uses is randomized.

In The P Factor, she can instead be a judge. As a judge, Leafos will prefer low level or low value piñatas, such as [[Whirlm|Whirlms]] or [[Bunnycomb|Bunnycombs]]. She shares this criteria with [[Nana Urf]], and has opposite tastes to [[Gretchen Fetchum]] and [[Professor Pester]].
