Leona Kingscholar

Leona is a tall young man with tan skin and fairly defined muscles. He has thick, dark-brown hair that goes below his shoulders in length, with long, side-parted bangs that fall over his eyes. Two sections of hair on both sides of his face are braided and tied at the ends with yellow bands. He has emerald green eyes, and a thin scar over his left eye that goes from his eyebrow to his cheek. He also owns a black lion tattoo wrapped around his left arm, just below his shoulder. Instead of human ears, he has brown lion ears on the top of his head. This is paired with a long lion tail of the same color, with a dark-brown tuft of fur at the end. He is usually shown with half-lidded eyes and a smug, sharp-toothed grin. Leona is an arrogant and domineering person who’s as prideful as he is lazy. He tends not to waste his energy on those he deems inferior to him, and is only willing to cooperate with others if it benefits him in some way. In the same vein, he puts little to no effort into activities that don’t interest him, especially when it comes to his studies. Although he is incredibly talented when it comes to magic, he tends to slack off, skip classes, and take naps whenever possible. A lack of motivation and attendance has caused him to repeat one school year. Under certain conditions, Leona’s laziness fades to reveal a fierce competitive side. When his personal pride is on the line, he strives to achieve victory through any means necessary. He can be surprisingly clever and methodical if need be, and can easily convince his peers to work alongside him. Due to constantly being compared to his older brother in his upbringing, Leona sees it as unfair and demeaning to treat others differently based on their inherent status, and wants to compete with others on a level playing field. Ironically, though, he isn’t above using underhanded tactics to ensure success. Overall, Leona is willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself as a worthy leader, even if it means playing dirty. Leona is the second prince of Sunset Savanna. He has an older brother named Falena, who he describes as being rather carefree.[2] Growing up, Leona was constantly compared to and upstaged by Falena. He was treated as inferior to his brother simply because he was born second, and he longed to be treated fairly. Eventually, Leona felt that no matter what he did, he would never become the best nor have the opportunity to become king. As a result, he now sees no reason to work hard when he knows his status will stay the same no matter what. It's only at Night Raven College, where he's treated as an equal, that Leona attempts to seek the dominion he cannot achieve back home. Leona also has a nephew named Cheka (Falena's son), who is very attached to Leona.[3] Leona got an invitation to Night Raven College which he ignored at first, as he already learnt everything from royal tutors during his childhood years. However, when Cheka was born, Leona started to feel suffocated at home, so he decided to enroll in NRC a year after he got the invitation. The name Leona comes from "Leo" which means Lion, alluding to Leona's origins, although it means "lioness" in Spanish. Kingscholar comes from "King" and "Scholar" referencing how Scar became king and was very intelligent. The "scholar" portion of his last name is a reference to "Scar," and a pun that only works in Japanese: in Japanese, the "スカ (suka)" portion of the names are the same. Leona often commands Ruggie to get things for him, such as when he requested him to get a menchi katsu sandwich from the cafeteria. His Ceremonial robes once accidentally got swapped with Malleus' robes.[6] According to Sebek, Malleus frequently approaches Leona. Leona has stated he is intimidated by the women of the Sunset Savanna because they are much physically stronger and more strong-willed than the men, including himself. Ruggie corroborates this statement.[7] This follows the biology of many savanna animals, such as lions and hyenas, wherein the females are hunters and typically dominant in nature.
