PERSONALITY
Private | Clever | Control freak | Observant | Thick-skinned | Protector
Leo is a very guarded person. He prefers to stay private with most matters, which is why he essentially wears a mask for the public, so he can control how well people know him and his story. This stems from his need for control. Everything he does, he has to be in full control of, which is why he loves playing with fire - he controls it, makes it work to his advantage.
Not the most social person, he prefers to observe people and study them. This way he can act accordingly and maintain good relations with those that are in his close proximity. At times he can grow cold towards people, the reason being that sometimes emotions bring out the worst in him. Pain runs deep and even the strongest of us grow anxious about life every now and then.
Leo is smart, organized and very driven. By nature he's good at heart, but unfortunately life is not sunshine, lollipops and rainbows. Leo is aware that at times it is more important to get the job done. This is something he swears by - once things are taken care of and as they should be, then he can worry about proper manners and relationships. The end justifies the means in his opinion. Due to his upbringing, he has a soft spot for children and women, so he strives to protect them first and foremost.
HISTORY
As the child of loving parents Teresa and Balios, Leo had a wonderful early childhood. His mother was a stay-at-home mom and his father was a very wealthy man. He appeared mostly human, but his altered genes (radiation) were passed down to his children.
Teresa would spend most her time taking care of and playing with her only son, doting on him and making him feel cherished and special. Leo soon became very attatched to his mother, growing extremely fond of her, which never changed. He also loved his father dearly, though he was much less present in his life. Their maids played a bigger role in his daily life than his own dad, but he was still precious to little Leo. He looked up to his father, wanting to one day be a strong man, the bread winner for his own family, once he was old enough to have one.
But things took a different turn. When Leo was seven, Balios shocked the entire household by bringing home a pregnant woman. She was carrying his children, twins, and Leo found himself despising her big, round stomach. He saw pain etched on his mother's features, but what sliced through his young, innocent heart was the fact that Teresa accepted the woman with opened arms. The caring, loving woman that she was, she welcomed Balios' mistress Paige. Despite the terrible pain her husband caused her, he was the love of her life, as was Leo, so she forgave him and remained by his side. The thought to pack her bags and leave with her son never crossed her mind, not even once. It all baffled Leo, on a basic level he understood his father had betrayed his mommy - the heartache was so excruciating, it was nearly impossible to hide. The young child knew very well his mother was severely hurt and he also knew his father was to blame for that. Ever since that traumatic event, Leo grew distant and cold towards his father. He could never find the power to forgive him and what made it worse was that Teresa had.
The twins were eventually born and as they grew, Leo silently observed his father with them. Balios was far from being a bad dad, even to Leo. He knew his father was kind, too kind to allow Paige, a true home wrecker, to remain with them. But he did, putting them all through more pain. It angered him and made him feel helpess at the same time. He could no longer have a stable, healthy relationship with Balios and his relationship with Paige was nonexistant at best. He avoided her like the plague and ignored her. Leo dedicated his time and energy to saving his mom from the terrible fate she was hell bent on living. For reasons beyond him, Teresa wished to remain by Balios' side. Leo felt helpless and stripped of any kind of control. It ate away at him over the years and even though he grew to love his step siblings Deos and Eris, he couldn't stay. He looked out for them, but remained distant, believing that was the best course of action. Once he was 19, he decided to try one last time. He told his mom they had suffered enough. She disagreed with him, begged her only child to stay. But wish as she might, she knew Leo needed to take control of his own life. Hoping it would heal him at least to an extent, she let him go, getting Balios to agree with her decision. Like Teresa, he was sad to see his son go. But they both knew loving someone sometimes meant to let them be free.
It was tought supporting himself, but he loved his tiny living quarters and he busied himself with odd jobs. It wasn't a luxurious life by any means, but that was part of the appeal. Luxury and nice things meant nothing to him. Been there, done that. It only reminded him of the entire Paige scandal and the suffering his mother was still enduring. This time in life Leo took completely for himself and it was then that he really got into fire. It was a thing of beauty to him and learning how to be its master was even more beautiful. It fascinated him and soon he found himself extremely skilled at controlling fire. Living on his own, life was good.
Then another tragedy struck. PORSA was in pursuit of all BJBB members and anyone suspected to be related to any bunny in Pearsons. Eventually it died down and BJBB came out to the public, announcing that they were going to help the innocent civilians fight PORSA and gain freedom again. Fury ignited and was slowly burning bigger and brighter inside him. Horrible things were being done to innocent, good people. There was a public execution even, damn it. The entire thing enraged and saddened Leo and he desperately wished to help those in need. But he was not part of the Brigade. Time went by and in the end, the government contacted rabbits, allowing them to stay with BJBB, now a Refugee Center. Leo had grown tired of being lonely and found he had a deep rooted need to help out any way he can. He decided to take up the offer and join the rest of the bunnies in the Brigade. To him, it was as though that was the only place he belonged.
