## Trivia

* Leonard is probably a reference to Leonardo da Vinci, a famous Italian Renaissance genius who was, among many other things, a talented musician, something he is often less well known for.
	+ Leonard's hat is typical of the time period, however, the musical instruments he holds are not ones da Vinci played or invented.
	+ His line, "I am a bard!", refers to the fact that da Vinci was, at a time, a professional musician employed by patrons to provide entertainment; the term comes from medieval Gaelic and British culture.
* He might also be a reference to the famous musical composer and author Leonard Bernstein, whose notable works include *West Side Story*.
* He might also be a reference, or co-reference, to the popular musician, singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen.
* It has been confirmed by Robin, PocApp Studios' story writer, that Dog-pop is the Catanian equivalent of K-Pop.
* Leonard's secret alter ego is a superhero known as Dragoncaller, first revealed in the Call of Heroes 2018 Quest.
	+ In the story, he works with Justicecat to rescue Conan, who was transformed into a villain by Metal Claw.
	+ Dragoncaller has magical singing abilities that alter the environment, such as moving flood water, reinvigorating allies, and summoning dragons as his name implies.
	+ When Leonard appears in stories as himself, he does not wear his usual Rank 4 outfit, or any clothing at all; but in his Dragoncaller persona he wears a traditional superhero cape and mask, available as a Hero Outfit.
* Leonard's Charity Event hero outfit might be a reference to popular singer David Bowie and in particular his Aladdin Sane persona.
	+ His hair is dyed red and a lightning bolt is painted on his face, as Bowie appears on the cover of his album *Aladdin Sane*.
	+ The costume shares similarities, for example the shoulder pieces, with other common features of Bowie's on-stage appearances.
* Leonard is aware of Catniss' "secret" and one-sided infatuation with Conan, and an attempt to sing about it is met with a smack from the incensed heroine.
* Leonard is a participant in Ember, Catania's version of the dating app Tinder that has appeared in the game during Valentine Events since 2021; his profile reads as follows: *Searching for a fellow D-popper. Don't have a lot except for my instruments, my voice and killer dance moves. Whether our date go[sic] good or bad, I will probably write a song about it.*
