my leon is canon-divergent and has established relationships with a few other muses from the same universe. [no, i don’t play exclusives.] main differences between him and canon include: he was endorsed by kabu, met rose after he became champion, never took the position of league chairman, and has since sold the battle tower.

personality n behavior stuff:
- full of himself, but not in an “i’m better than you” way. unless you’re raihan
- ALTERNATIVELY: he does experience self doubt, pretty frequently these days, he just tends not to show it.
- hyperaware of his public image. always well behaved, positive, and poised in the public eye.
- epitome of “how do i adult.” growing up a child celebrity, pretty much everything was done for him and his life was controlled by the league and later, rose.
--- he knows how to behave in public and on TV, how to entertain crowds, etc, but has almost no interpersonal social skills and knows next to nothing about how to take care of himself. can't cook. doesn't know how to file taxes or fucking dress himself. etc etc
- he knows his weaknesses. and he’s kind of jealous of people who have their shit together.
- still largely a kid at heart. he’s optimistic to the point of being rather gullible.
--- he genuinely believes that people have good intentions and that anyone can become strong if they try.
--- he’s also easily swayed, especially if someone is trying to convince him of the "right" thing to do. he’s a people pleaser with a heart of gold, so he’ll do the thing that sounds the most helpful!
- he’s taking his loss a lot harder than he lets on. but still acknowledges that it was one of the best things to ever happen to him. feelings are hard, man.
- in person, privately [as opposed to public appearances] he’s a little on the quiet side. comes across as an idiot often but really is just stuck in his head a lot.
--- he’s also the definition of a clown. acts dumber than he really is just to make people laugh. arceus, does he love to make people happy.
- physically fit. physically fit. physically physically ph --
--- he has a weakened immune system. doesn’t really know it yet.
--- his body also heals at about half the pace it should, be it from injury, working out, etc... he has started noticing this but doesn’t understand why it’s happening.
--- he’s physically sensitive to poison types. he gets weak and sickly the longer he spends around them -- which he doesn’t usually, because he’s developing a phobia of them and tends to avoid them.
--- blame his lack of directional awareness on that shiny thing over there
--- ... and on his inability to tell left from right:
--- the advent of rotom phones was a godsend. speech to text is his best friend. so are audiobooks.
--- but he would rather die than read, write, or do physical paperwork.
--- has tried to seek counseling at the request of his loved ones. tried and couldn’t go in galar, but he’s been talking to someone on call from another region.
- still mentally working out that he was manipulated by rose. doesn’t know how to feel about it. he has a lot of thoughts.
- has caffeine sensitivity. the best he can do is 1 cup of black tea a day, which is tragic, really.
age 7: hop was born! he’s baby!!!!!
10: gym challenge!! champion time, babey!!!!
--- he was endorsed by kabu and u can pry that out of my cold dead hands

20: rose brought him into the energy crisis plan.
--- with limited knowledge, leon started helping him gather wishing stars for the sake of clean energy.
current: raihan is the new champion after the protag forfeited. also leon is gay married to raihan and claude von riegan. no i do not accept criticism.
- he no likey poison types. poison Bad. no reason in particular! it’s fine!! hahahahaha!!!!
- despite being so confident, he’s easily flustered around crushes. lastbraincell.exe has stopped working
- he and sonia kissed once. and that was how they learned leon didn’t like kissing girls and sonia didn’t like kissing boys.
- had a postwick accent as a kid. spent so long in wyndon he adopted that accent. but some old dialect pokes through every so often.
- his verse’s champion is named wynne! they’re nonbinary and he loves and supports them very much!
- he’s big on charity, and not in a fake way. looking at rose. he donates money directly to those in need and regularly volunteers at or hosts things like food drives, pokemon foster care, children’s hospital visits, etc etc. he’ll buy groceries for everyone else at the store, tip 300% of his dinner bill, and help you move that couch.
- if you don’t drink your respect hop juice he will snap you over his knee.
