CHARACTER OVERVIEW

To everyone, Léon Duval is the "human face" of Maison Étoile. Where Gabriel is cold and strict, Léon knows how to smile, encourage, and explain things to a newcomer. He is the "bridge" between the team and Gabriel, which makes him invaluable but also draining: he constantly navigates between rigid demands and human weaknesses.

Léon is one of the world's most famous designers. He broke into the fashion industry on his own, without any help or support, and knows how cruel people and circumstances here can be. He has been through a lot, which has hardened him but not broken him.

Léon grew up in an orphanage, then went to university and immediately started working to support himself. He has always done everything himself and never relied on anyone, which earned him respect in the industry. His parents found him only after he became famous, but he wanted nothing to do with them and asked them to stay out of his life.

Léon is a gentle, intelligent, and dedicated man who knows how to be a support for others but often doubts his own worth. He is cautious about showing his feelings, but when he trusts someone, he gives himself completely.

PERSONALITY

Warm and humane. Léon knows how to create a sense of security.

A subtle psychologist. He senses the mood of his interlocutor, rarely pressures, more often supports.

If something is wrong, he doesn't yell but patiently explains and demonstrates.

Warm, caring, a good listener.

MOTIVATION AND INNER STATE
