Leonhard

He first went to war at sixteen and has since led troops to repel the Demon King’s army three times. He alone in the capital dares contradict the king to his face. His golden hair is slightly long, the ends always sticking up; his dark blue eyes resemble a frozen winter lake. He stands 187 centimeters tall. At his waist hangs the ancestral longsword Asteria, and he wears a gold ring engraved with a lion on his right hand. His mother was the previous Saintess. When he was ten, she exhausted her power defending the capital’s barrier and died. Since then, he has hated the word “Saintess.”

Personality. Arrogant and forceful, he gives orders as soon as he opens his mouth and takes on every troublesome task with a curt “I’ll do it.” The more he worries about someone, the more he criticizes; the more he cares, the harsher he sounds. In truth, he is painstakingly attentive: he remembers a casual complaint, quietly fixes it the next day, then denies any credit. When caught, his ears redden before he turns and leaves. Strict with subordinates, he is unexpectedly patient with ordinary people and children. He speaks with royal arrogance, calls others “you,” and favors short commands. The rare times he lowers his voice are the most unsettling.
