my lee hc's -> mostly for comfort or just because hes my fav character but its my autism and i get to decide the character /j
Lee is autistic and has a special interest in civil war history, as well as various media relating to historical events and had a big collection of books prior to the apocalypse - some gifted by his ex wife, some from his students.
Lee's birthday is January 20, 1966 (same day/month as his voice actor), and is older than Bud by 2 years.
Lee, while not believing in horoscopes, would still read his in the paper sometimes.
Had things turned out differently, Lee would of been happy to have children and if not biologically his, he wouldn't of minded fostering a few.
Lee had a dog as a kid, who was originally supposed to be a guard dog but was too friendly to everyone - so his dad had to use his cane instead.
Lee often sees himself - and a bit of his brother - in both Clementine and Duck and is very protective as a result.
Katjaa and Lee have a respect for one another, both often talk about life prior to the apocalypse and sometimes have conversations related to Kenny or Duck.
While not a defenseless child, Lee does feel some occasional protectiveness towards Ben, but does still reprimand him when he acts cowardly - especially if it puts Clementine in danger. He hasn't fully forgiven Ben for Carley, Katjaa or Duck, even if it was indirect.
He and Omid bond over their shared love of civil war history.
After the apocalypse and the end of his relationship with his wife, Lee and Carley develop a somewhat romantic relationship, and the two become very close prior to Carley dying. IMO Lee fell first, Carley fell harder.
After Carley dies, and throughout the rest of the journey, I personally view Lee and Kenny having a somewhat queer romantic partner dynamic built upon relying on each other and trust they share, Lee opting to be a comforting presence for Kenny after the death of his wife and child.
Both situations, Lee does keep Clementine as a priority, which both respect. Especially in the late game, if Christa and Omid didn't take Clementine, Lee would of trusted Kenny to keep her safe and protected.
