WHO IS WINTER???

Ahem- uhm-

What if I told you Leo used to be engaged?

.

Leo's dated a lot of people in his time, but Winter was by far the one that got the closest.

Winter was there for Leo through some of the hardest moments in his life, acted as a calm throughout the storm (that storm being the Kraang invasion.)

He was a good person.

Unfortunately, not everyone in Leo's timeline was like that.

Donatello's tech was possibly the most successful fighting artillery against the Kraang, and certain. . . unfriendly. . groups wanted desperately to get their hands on it.

One specific crew - once members of the Resistance, but disavowed due to a lack of ethics and loyalty - tried to use Winter as a leverage over Leo.

When it became obvious that Nardo wasn't going to cooperate, they made him deal with the consequences.

To make a long story short, Patrishia was a jerk.

Hopefully now you folks understand Leo's hesitancy towards relationships </3

He's just tired of losing more people than he has to.

If it's not spoiling anything

Can we know the lore behind Leo's past boyfriends???

Who were they? What's the drama?? 👀

Answering these both in one go because I can ha-

There's not really a specific number of boyfriends, mainly because Leonardo used to be a bit of a playboy (especially when he was a young adult.)

Most of his relationships only lasted a couple weeks at a time, maybe a bit longer depending.

However, there were a few that did end up lasting a while, ones that were much harder to move on from.

During the early days of the Resistance, Leo had been with a feisty dragon yokai named Wayne - who happened to be the son of Boss Bruce. Eventually, Wayne travelled East to settlements in Eurasia to try and build up a Resistance presence among the people who were left. After a while, he and Leo kind of just sorta grew apart.

A few years later, Fernandez came along. The two were practically inseparable, and drove each other up the wall - but hey, they were in love. One day, they got into a heated argument and broke up, this time for good. Nobody really knows exactly what the fight was about; Fern angry at Leo's leadership skills perhaps, maybe Leo upset over Fern jumping into battle without a plan. Either way, they were done.

And then there was Winter. I explained that whole mess in another post, so there's the link.

But ANYWAYS, Leo's got a wonderful rabbit husband now, (or he will once I get around to writing out their first meeting) so we'll just leave all that in the past :)
