Oɴᴄᴇ Uᴘᴏɴ A Tɪᴍᴇ: • Born and raised in the busy streets of New York, Leo was always on the move. It didn't matter how old he was or what he was supposed to be doing, he had his own agenda and stuck to it. From the day he could walk Leo was always in trouble it seemed like. He took revenge often on his brother whenever he felt the need to harass Leo and his little sister. Leo also took delight in fighting the older kids at school who thought him to be an 'easy target'. Always in the fray, the tiny boy didn't understand the meaning of the word fear he simply did what he could and refused to back down. While out terrorizing the world though Leo failed to notice the trouble at home. The fights that broke out between his mother and father grew and before he could blink Leo discovered the meaning of divorce. Leo opted to stay with his mother though his siblings wanted to be with their father. A tattoo artist and rock lover, Leanna was always thought to be the reason for Leo crazy behavior. She was his inspiration and watching her stand up for what she believed in made it easy for him to do what he felt was right, even if his father was furious. Things became strained between his uptight siblings and his father. They all went a bit crazy when he dyed his hair blue for his eighth birthday. Leo didn't care though as his mother loved it and all was right in his world.
Things turned sour the year fall he turned ten. His father had been increasingly upset with him and fights between them increased. Though it never got physical Leo often wondered how long it would be till he came home with a black eye. One evening when Leo was staying over at his dad's house, he was woken roughly in the middle of the night. Half asleep Leo and his siblings were loaded up into his father's car. No one knew what was going on but before long things got tense. His father spent the trip ranting at them telling them all it was Leo's fault. His older brother and little sister were ruined because of him. They all had to be fixed. Leo didn't know what drove his father over the edge or what he did but the next thing they knew the car seemed to be flying. The lake they hit was cold that time of year and the storm rolling overhead didn't help. Leo always loved to swim but these weren't the warm sunny waters he was used to. The dark, the cold....this was a nightmare.
Leo only recalled glimpses after the crash. The window shattering. His sister screaming. Something cold and limp in his grasp as he pushed out the space of the window. The crazed look in his father's eyes before the hit the water. Sirens, screams, crying. Mostly the cold. It had started to snow but how long it had taken for the emergency personal to show up he didn't know. Leo's sister survived the crash at the coast of her left leg. She's been in therapy to recover but has yet to make much progress. Leo had a hard time dealing with what happened and started lashing out at home as well as in school. Once the year ended his mother and him had a long discussion and it was decided that he would go spend the summer with his aunt in Idaho. He's hoping by the time he gets back before school starts things will be better.
Uɴᴅᴇʀ Tʜɪs Mᴀsᴋ: • A fun loving, mischievousness ball of energy, Leo rarely slows down. He likes living in the moment and does not like to be told he can't do something. Always willing to take on a challenge or do his best to do the impossible, Leo is very hard to deter from things. Leo loves to make people smile and can't stand to see anyone hurt in his presence. He is the first into the fray should a fight break out and will gladly take the blame so no one else gets in trouble. Underneath it all though the kid hides his own issues refusing to show when he's hurt or scared. As long as everyone else is fine then Leo is happy. Leo has a serious problem with authority though. His mother is the only person he has ever listened to without question besides his own heart. She is the one who encouraged him to chase his dreams no matter how hard they seem to be to reach. It's with her words that he stands up for what he believes and there is little that he won't do to achieve them.
