PERSONALITY
Leo is a courageous ninja lion that fights in the name of love and justice (and sometimes cookies). Despite his lean frame, he's pretty strong and agile in the ways of ninjutsu and martial arts. But whatever he lacks in strength at times, he makes up for with something far stronger: his indomitable spirit. Until his last breath, until his last drop of blood sheds, until his heart beats no more, Leo will keep on fighting for those that mean the whole world to him. He fights to defeat no one except himself, for he is his own worst enemy; even if there's a slight mistake in battle, he'll feel that he's let down an entire militia. An extremist of sorts, depending on the mission/fight, he'll feel accomplished when doing his job right and feel crushing depression when there's even an ounce of failure to the point where he blames himself heavily.
Outside of battle, Leo is an outgoing, kind-hearted, and funny lion whose trademark toothy lion smile always echoes his positivity and sincerely radiates his happiness, especially whenever he's around any of his friends. In fact, he holds all his fun friends closest to his heart - which he proudly wears figuratively on his sleeve-less sleeve - and values friendship in highest regard if nothing else. That said, he's both a romanticist in love with love and an open, playful tease around those he fancies (but not without blushing like crazy around extra-special friends he fancies of course). Plus he's pretty humorous and cheeky from cracking jokes at times (often bad puns). But like in battle, since he takes friendships seriously, he dreads the thought of accidentally screwing up friendships in some way, and gets overly anxious if he fears such futures or realises he has - in fact - done something wrong and/or hurt someone's feelings. In those times, he can never forgive himself; he never intends to do that to anyone ever.
Whether being with friends or fighting for justice, Leo does his best to give 100%. Even if he's not exactly good with his social skills at times, or even if he gets the Hell beaten out of him, he improves with every instance. He thrives on being the best ninja lion he can be, whether by reaching for the shiniest apples or bursting limits. Positivity, friendship, and perseverance are what fuel Leo. With the help of his friends and learning to gain self-confidence, he has come quite a long way. Given time, Leo might just be one of the greatest furry ninjas yet.

- Though I prefer his hand-paws to be drawn with five fingers, Leo can be drawn with either four or five fingers (especially depending on artists' preferences)
- Though I prefer his feet-paws to be drawn with four toes, Leo can be drawn with either four or five toes (especially depending on artists' preferences)
- Leo's markings on either side of his cheeks aren't actual whiskers; they're markings made to resemble them like how Naruto Uzumaki's facial markings are
- There are three line markings on each of Leo's cheeks; no more, no less (again, like Naruto Uzumaki)
- His black lion paw-print tattoo is on his upper right arm, specifically on his lateral deltoid, not right on top of his shoulders
- His mane/hair reaches down to nearly the halfway point of his back
Well, (formerly ), your reference sheet of my fursona from last year has served me well. But as of today, I have a more in-depth refsheet. One I feel I'll be using a lot longer.
And the glorious artist behind my new ref sheet? Who else but ?
That wonderful drafox put this together on her art livestreams on the 20th and 21st - which was very enjoyable to watch come together from start to finish - and it got officially completed on that latter day. What an honor to receive this from her, and especially in her wicked-sick art style!
I find it very helpful how managed to fit not one but two sets of front-and-back views of Leo, both of which look very adorable in her style; even the two chibi nudes on the side look so uber-cute and practical! Lineart looks on-spot and on-point; very smooth and neat! Even the lineart on the clothing folds looks fantastic and well-drawn! Awesome attention to detail on the ninja sandals and making them look like ninja sandals; way to go on her part remembering those thin lines on his sandals! Again, I really must confess that her art style here is too damn cute, especially how she styles the eyes so that they almost looks like capital C's or D's! Colours are just tremendous here, too; very interesting idea combining the clothing colours and flame colours together in split triangles in those colour palettes. Markings are lookin' pretty solid here, including Leo's paw-print tattoo on his right arm; it really looks just like a lion's paw-print! Very well done! Diggin' the close-ups of random parts to give the viewer better understandings of all the visual details. For the muzzle close-up in particular, I like how there are wrinkles on the bridge of his muzzle as it opens up; spectacular detail on the teeth and tongue, too. It really contrasts from - and compliments - the simplistic style of the reference sheet overall! Badass blend of the flame colours as Leo casts fire ninjutsu with such active flames; nice touch with the random embers flying about. And the gradient effect for the lettering looks very well-executed. Bonus points for that boss replication of Leo's personal crest right there!
You're an insanely amazing and talented furry artist, ; you've really done my fursona a lot of justice every time you draw him, and this time around is no exception! Thank you very, very, very much from the bottom of my heart! Thanks a million-trillion for the reference sheet overall! This looks absolutely epic! You are awesome, and you should feel awesome!
YOU SERIOUSLY NEED TO BE WATCHING RIGHT NOW! IT'S A RULE! DO IT TODAY! GIVE HER ALL THE LOVE RIGHT THIS SECOND! WATCH HER IMMEDIATELY! AND TELL HER LEO SENT YOU!

Omfg That's actually really cool. I'm hella broke atm so I can't go to any fur meets but I do plan to do so in the far future!!!
IKR! It's a really fun con in Toronto! You should check it out if you ever come to Canada in March (and can afford to go to furry conventions)! I guarantee you'd have a lot of fun there! :3
And even if not that convention, here's hoping you get to go to any other con you can afford in the future! ^w^
And even if not that convention, here's hoping you get to go to any other con you can afford in the future! ^w^
I will keep this in mind! I've always wanted to go to Canada because of our current president to be honest haha
I always see pictures of Cons and I feel like I'm missing out on so much fun djfalksjdf

LOL You get no argument out of me, there, Billie! XDDDD
Yeah, I know what you mean! If it's of any consolation, I want to go to more cons than just FE every year (being the only "local" con I can go to); when I see countless new photos of my friends at cons I'm not a part of, that Feeling of Missing Out (FOMO) comes rolling in. ;w;
