==Trivia==
*Leonhart is the Beast/Prince Adam of the series.
**In The White Rabbit and the Beast Prince, Leonhart serves as the Mufasa of the series.
*There is an easy-to-miss moment in Episode 4 when Vivian makes her first impression in Leonhart's bed chambers. With Sariphi, the lights in his bed chambers were always on even right before they both went to sleep. But with Vivian, the lights of his bed chambers were out as Vivian took her shawl off to seduce him. Given his disinterest with having concubines hence his rejections with proposals prior meeting Sariphi, it could empathize that Leonhart is warm and patient with Sariphi while giving Vivian the cold shoulder and hating her guts.
