King Leonardo

"If I can't earn respect, I'll just buy it...from Nebula Enterprises!"

**King Leonardo** is one of the main antagonists of *Leeko: The Beginning* series and the first half (Seasons 4 and 5) of the *Leeko: Adventures in Proxima* series. He is a large yellow portly lion-like man who proclaims himself the king of Usapia and resides with his court in Castle Leonardo.

## Physical appearance

Leonardo is usually depicted as a heavyset lion-like creature having pale yellow fur, small round ears, a reddish-brown mane that is shaggy and disheveled, a large black nose, green downturned eyes. His outfit consists of a green robe with white accents, white gloves, a red scarf, green pants, red shoes, and a golden crown on his head.

## Personality

King Leonardo is usually portrayed as selfish, irritable, ignorant, and vain. He usually causes a lot of problems in Usapia in many ways. He uses his fortune to maintain his castle and purchase whatever he wants from Nebula Enterprises, though he almost never pays his debt in full to them likely because he'll go bankrupt if he does. Ever since Leeko crash landed in Usapia, Leonardo does everything he can to get rid of the pink Star Warrior with the help of Tommy and always outrages at the mouse for foiling his plans to ruin Usapia in one way or another. His incompetence, however, leads to him failing either partially or completely at his schemes.

King Leonardo is very short tempered and with how he is most of the time, no one has ever tried to dethrone him. He often abuses Tommy, his closest assistant, but despite the abuse, Tommy always stays close with him. He also has a lot of bad habits, most of them revolve around overeating and dental hygiene, as shown in the episode The Fresh Pearls Of Puffy Town. Leonardo also screams or throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. He’s also something of a prankster and often scares Tommy (and other people) just for kicks and laughs. He’s also good at getting others’ attention, but they’re mostly for bad reasons.

Despite Leonardo's nasty and cruel ways, he does have moments where his softer side comes out. This is seen in the episode Marvin’s Prediction, Part 2 where he decides to build Leeko and the Puffy kids a playground before the planet gets destroyed.
