Leonardo Van Roy - Character Page

Leonardo Van Roy
- "Banished from the city that I love most: that is the biggest crime I will ever partake. I will return someday and protect those even if such people do not accept me."

Characteristics - Leonardo (Leo for short) is one character who doesn't entirely act his age. Although he is 24, his mindset is of a young teenager who enjoys playing small jokes with Forrest. However, the difference between him and a regular teenager is that he knows when to be serious. Part of his every day gag is his failed attempt at trying to stop teenagers (such as Felix and Rina) from yelling at each other. He is also very concerned about sanitation. Most of his ordeals involve having to surpass fear and live through a new generation of enemies.

Appearance - Leo's main color consists of green and yellow. At first, he appears as a hobo living far away from Ouli Brye for plot purposes. After his haircut, he remains in his new appearance for the rest of the series. He has a long, green overcoat that is generally unbuttoned. Throughout the earlier portions of the series, he struggles to find a weapon that best suits him, until he decides the simplistic idea of a gauntlet.

Story plot (contains spoilers) -
Leo debuts on episode 9, living in an isolated house far from Ouli Brye. Even after a year, he struggles to pry away from being too sanitized. He is first seen in an armor, scarying Forest away. In the living room, he discusses the current situation of Ouli Brye and the false king, Nader.

When reaching Ouli Brye, the main group requests that Leo should get a haircut in an attempt to hide his identity from the Lennox army. Ironically, his new shaggy look was his original appearance before being exiled.

Leo also requests that Felix should give Forrest the cubed bazooka after having to buy it without further explanations as to how he earned the money. After his haircut and after he ran away, the barber explained that he was once a noble man living in the capital.

He returns in the capital on episode 12, saving Felix and Rina from being attacked by Ace.

On episode 13, Leo sneaks his way to literally backstab King Nader who was already planning a Gammel invasion over Lennox territory. With his tactics, he was able to get the main group free from danger, but they separated into two.

After the separation of the main group, Leo tries to cheer both Forrest and Lydia up. Upon being successful, Leo writes 'KABOOM!' on Forrest's bazooka in order to recreate what should have happened - Leo has to be the one to gift the toy bazooka to Forrest.

At the Lake City Prima, Leo takes the two younger friends out for roller coaster rides, fancy food, and an inn with his large wad of money. At night, he decides to go to the Auction House with Forrest and Lydia as they have trouble sleeping.

In the Auction House, Leo successfully wins the auctions of the Brass Knuckles for himself and an enhanced BB Gun for Forrest. The third item, the Violet Shard, was taken by Lieutenant Floir (but later on, the shard is snatched back at the docks).

When reaching Loomin and being surrounded by Floir's soldiers, Leo devises an interesting tactic again in order to trick Floir into handing over the green shard by accident. At the Aria River, Leo helps Lydia and Forrest retrieve the green shard.

At the bottom of the Aria River, we get to see more of Leo and his tactics to enter the town of Troiya. He also develops another risky plan to enter Bafuul by becoming prisoners. His idea was to use the 'toy' cubed bazooka after being prisoners. Gammel soldiers would only take what looks like weapons, not toys.

Leo helps Hazel create plans within the Grandine Hillage. The two of them stayed in the little village while the rest of the group set out to find Rina at the Hollow Cavern. Well, when everyone rejoiced in the inn, they found Leo with two girls from the bar...

At the Village of Saradeli, Leo quickly becomes accustomed with the materials from the D'Alonzo parents. He helped them build homes until the group left the village.

Leo quickly grows a liking to Viola joining the group, and he also gets paired up with her at the Li'Opa Jungles.

Both Leo and Warren fight together to stop the mutant beasts which were damaging the city of Lament. Leo also gains a suspicion towards Magnus who somehow knows about Leo's past history as a child.

In the City of Celestia, Leo pairs with Viola to have a drinking battle, but he ends up losing and gets drunk. While doing so, he begins to admit his true feelings about his past. He feels he is not knowledgeable enough and understands little of his parents.

Leo is later found fighting a plant monster to help set Forrest free from an agreement made by the Phardia mayor.

While noticing the merchant girl, and her friends (Zedd and Tedd), he decides it would be a useful idea to purchase her items for once. In doing so, these items indeed became useful when reviving Felix from limbo.

He also participates throughout the remaining journey at Magnus's tower, village of Saradeli, the battle of Lament, and Shiu Jo.

In the end, he survives the Zozna aftermath and works with his best friend, Ace, to restore balance in Ouli Brye.
