Leo Long

Leo Long is a former resident of Ashdene Ridge and Brookside. He is now fostered by Mr and Mrs Boxer along with Lila Maya. 
== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Leo was born to Peter and Caroline, a couple who both have Cerebral Palsy. Despite both parents having the disability, Leo was born without physical defect. Leo was named "Reece" at birth, but was nicknamed "Leo" by Peter for some reason.
Caroline and Peter found it difficult to cope with Leo. One day when Leo was 18 months old (so 1 years old), David, Leo's paternal grandfather found that Leo had been left alone while his parents had gone out. And left their front door wide open, so that anyone could've entered the flat and took Leo. David took Leo with him, much to the dismay of his parents. He and his wife, Leo's grandmother, adopted Leo and brought him up as their son. They kept Peter and Caroline out of Leo's life, as they thought it was the best thing for him.
By the time Leo was around 5 or 6, he was living with his grandparents in a shed. While the shed had electricity (from a generator), Leo had to go to the toilet in the bushes, which he was not happy with. He was taken away from his grandparents after they were found to be unfit to look after him. Leo was placed into care until his grandparents had sorted things out for themselves.

Leo arrived offscreen between series pilot and series 1. He later joined in protest against Sarah's attempt to move Amelia to another care home. He also tried to suggest getting some more dressing up costumes, and helped Amelia and the other set up a birthday party for Ryan and Chloe.
Leo - alongside Floss, Holly, Toni and Billie - started the Beaker Club in Amelia's honor, pulling pranks around the Dumping Ground, while Leo even ate a worm. After Amelia realized the trouble the club had caused, she confessed to being the one who started it. He also pretended to have an imaginary friend he called "Elvis the Alien" so that he could do whatever he wanted, but later got exposed for what he did and pelted at by Ryan, Amy and Annie. He later saw a photo of Sarah's newly born niece and inquired about where babies came from, which led to Duke and Nathan to try and explain it to Leo (to no avail) and pranked Mike with Holly and Amy by attaching his flip flops to a couple of balloons (making them fly into the air).

=== The Dumping Ground: Series 2 ===
Leo moved with the rest of the kids, Ron, Gina, Hattie and Grace to Brookside. Along with the rest of the kids, Leo was victimised by the Blackarts when the three siblings arrived. However, he later joined Amelia and the others against their fight against the Blackarts. When Ryan was making his birthday present for Frank, he had Leo guard the door and pretend that Ryan was making a robot (which they used to scare off Amy and Holly when they tried to find out what he was doing). Leo also teased Amelia by pretending to kiss her when she was complaining about Cam's Mother coming over, was involved in Amy's scam of getting the other kids to pay her for doing their homework for them, worked in beating the Blackarts at their own game by playing along with their pranks and helped to deliver love notes Frank had written for Jade when she visited the Dumping Ground.
After Leo's strange behaviour drove away a potential foster family, Annie, Ryan, Liam and Frank attempted to make him normal so that he would get fostered. Unfortunately, the Boxers (a couple who later arrived) were revealed to be just as strange as Leo is and thought he wasn't fit for them. This led Leo to storm off to his room until the others remade him to his original personality (and make the Boxers like him). When Leo pretended to be a frog, the visiting Ofsted inspectors were led to believe that Leo thought that he himself actually was a frog. After Annie's Granddad died, Leo helped to track down some of his old friends. He also tried (and failed) to find the thief of a chocolate cake Gina had made, opened an animal hospital in the attic (where he cared for Trent's pet spider), was scared new boy Noah would eat his and Amy's pet rabbit, announced Amelia and Trixy's fight to determine who would be boss of the Dumping Ground and was caught up in pranks the staff played on the kids during Annie, Liam and Frank's leaving do.

Leo is friendly with everyone, even people who are unkind to him. He is very honest and tells the truth, if it's him in the wrong or other people. He is also very persuasive when trying to get what he wants, and uses very unusual methods to do so.
