Leaf Hamilton

**Leaf Hamilton** is a teenage boy and male model who is a recurring character during seasons three and four of *WildSide*. He first meets Justice in Wild Mystery, where him and around five other male models notice her advertisement in the community noticeboard to star in a modelling shoot for her. However, much like the other models, Leaf disagrees with everything Justice tells him to do and ends up storming out on her in frustration. Despite this event, he becomes friends with Justice's other friends, specifically Rachel and Dean, where he tends to show up in unexpected and unnecessary moments. He last appears in Wild Warehouse, where Dean talks to him about his feelings for Rachel.

Leaf is portrayed by Michael Murphy.
