HISTORY:
Born the third child and youngest son to his parents, Leo managed to grow up with a bit of a superiority complex. His mother often doted on him during his youngest years because for almost half a decade, Leo was her baby. He could do no wrong and Leo made sure his older brothers knew that. Especially Jake.

Jake seemed to have a hobby of picking on Leo...as older brothers do. And while it annoyed Leo, he always found himself chasing after his younger older brother. With only a year separating them, he was the closest thing Leo had to a friend growing up. From practicing on brooms in the back yard, to trying to steal each others toys in the house, Leo always seemed to be right there with Jake.

But that all seemed to change when Leo went to Hogwarts. The sorting hat bellowed Slytherin...and the world shifted forever.

To Leo, he felt pushed away by his brother...and mocked by his housemates. He didn't fit in anywhere. His first year of school was the worst.

His second year, Leo managed to wiggle his way into a conversation with an older Slytherin. This was the moment that his young, impressionable mind would begin to be molded by terms like "blood purity" and "blood traitors". Leo learned quick that by pushing his brother in the same ways he felt pushed, he could gain footing in his own house. By weaponizing the terms he had been taught, Leo quickly rose in popularity.

While he has no problem pushing Jake around or throwing his family under the bus, Leo's one soft spot has always been Ellie. She never seemed to hate him for being a Slytherin and she was the one Gryffindor that he would put his life on the line for fight for. It has never been uncommon to see him stand up for her...often telling his classmates that she's young now and they she'll grow to recognize the importance of pure bloods.

These days, Leo finds the most pride in getting under his brother's skin. Starting rumors...throwing magically propelled paper planes at his head...rattling him during quidditch matches. Whatever he has to do. Though each time he pushes it further by calling his brother a blood traitor or any other derogatory name...he still can't shake that uneasy feeling in his gut.

This lovely character is being played by Ky! Ky has been roleplaying for seven years, and plays Tova Jenson and Vadellia Allman on this site. Ky lives in the eastern standard time zone, and you can reach them by pm and discord

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
"Oh get over it."

Leo smirked as he turned his back on his older brother and walked off to rejoin his friends and housemates. Who knew what they were arguing about this time. It really didn't matter to Leo all too much. The argument would dig at Jake and that's all Leo was really trying to do. High fiving one of his buddies, the blonde shot a smirk over his shoulder to the Gryffindor and walked off with his group.

"What was your brother on about this time, Leo?"

Leo cast a glance to the girl beside him as she spoke and tossed an arm over her shoulder, casually pulling her closer to him.

"Who cares? Since when do we listen to blood traitors?"

Winking at her, the group continued wandering down the hall...his cool smirk still playing on his lips but his heart still sitting in the pit of his stomach. The Slytherin wasn't sure why he got that weird feeling in his gut when he called his family that word. He'd been doing it for five years now. It was what his classmates told him he was supposed to do. So why did it always feel weird? He and Jake weren't close...they hadn't been for a while. Bullying his older brother was nothing more than a casual greeting at this point.

Clearing his throat, Leo looked over to his boys and piped, "You guys wanna go to Hogsmeade this weekend? Kickback at the Broomsticks and drink all the butterbeer we can hold?"

A cheer of approval rose from his little crowd and Leo shoved that uneasy feeling in his stomach away. He had his friends, essentially any girl he wanted, and his grades were great. He had nothing to feel bad about. This was the world now...and his family would just have to get with the program.
