Leonard Kovacs

"These Hollywood types are so sensitive they can't handle my humor... But don't you dare remake my childhood cartoons or I'll lose my shit"- Leonard's Who's Who introduction
Leonard KovacsSpooky High Yearbook is an "obnoxious Kappa" added with the Monster Prom: Second Term DLC. 
He is voiced by Ross O'Donovan (RubberNinja).
==Appearance==
Short in stature, Leonard is a Kappa, a Japanese amphibious imp. He has green skin, a neckbeard stubble, and webbed hands. He has a turtle shell on his back, with straps also present, making it resemble a backpack, and water on his head, which is a reference to the dishes that kappas have on their head. It is said that if the water in the dish spills out, the kappa is weakened.
He wears a black shirt with the text "SEND NUDES" on it in the Star Wars font, and beige cargo shorts.
==Personality==
Leonard's overall character is a reference to neckbeards, a stereotype associated with general douchebaggery, being socially awkward, anime, gaming, and internet culture in general. 
Leonard enjoys being a douchebag, shirikodamas, and anime. 
Leonard dislikes dubbed anime, "fake fans", and content creators ruining the things that he likes, such as cartoons. 
==Trivia==
*Leonard's first name likely comes from Leonard Hofstadter, a protagonist of the series The Big Bang Theory.
**His surname comes from Walter Kovacs (aka Rorschach) from the DC graphic novel miniseries Watchmen.
*Before Leonard was officially revealed, he was first teased with the Interdimensonal Prince's Halloween costume for the That October Holiday update.
*Leonard bears a literal neck beard, a reference to the pejorative nickname "neckbeard" and stereotype for teenage and adult men who exhibit characteristics such as social awkwardness, underachievement or pretentiousness. The term is associated with the currently unfashionable facial hair style known as a neck beard, and by extension, to a stereotype of overweight, unkempt internet users. 
*His shirt's text is written in the Star Wars logo font.
*His distaste towards remade cartoons is likely a reference to the ThunderCats Roar controversy, where viewers of the original ThunderCats expressed their distaste towards the reboot, as it had an art style associated with CalArts.https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/22/17381380/thundercats-roar-calarts-style-steven-universe
*Leonard's personality alongside his species as a Kappa may reference the "Kappa" internet meme most popular in the Twitch community.
