PORTRAYAL NOTES .         Leo relies on logic and reason to guide his actions, but he is actually a very emotional person deep down. His feelings often leave him conflicted and confused, and logic is the path that guides him out of his indecision. However, it isn't hard for him to get carried away and lose sight of his reason — he is prone to occasional outbursts, and may even panic if publicly embarrassed (see: his inside-out collar). He still has a good bit of maturing to do in my eyes, despite being aged up for TOA.

        I write Leo's narration and internal monologue with his inner turmoil on full display, because I especially love unwrapping the side of him that he tries so hard to hide. However, please keep in mind that externally, Leo has a pretty good poker face and has mastered the art of hiding his expressions (see: narrow range of emotion in his dialogue sprites). Maintaining a polite, perfect mask was his defense mechanism in the court of Nohr. Your muse is welcome to pick up on his uneasy undercurrents, but please keep in mind that his expressions are not that easy to read unless he's having an outburst.

        Despite my portrayal focusing on Leo's imperfections, don't forget he is generally regarded as an outstanding genius. He is notorious for wearing his clothing inside-out, but this is moreso a surprising quirk than a knock against his intelligence or dignity. Also, he likes to sleep just as much as Corrin, so his wardrobe mishaps are mostly due to being a slugabed... Please don't make this the center or sole gag when interacting with him! I consider it a fairly minute detail of his character.
