Leona Kingscholar

**Leona Kingscholar** (レオナ・キングスカラー, *Reona Kingusukarā*) is a third-year, and the leader of Savanaclaw. While he has great magic powers, he doesn't like using much effort, and constantly appears lax and leisurely. He's the second prince of his home country and acts arrogantly toward everyone.

## Description

### Appearance

Leona is a muscular young man. He has thick, messy brown hair with two braids on either side. Leona also has green eyes, with a thin scar going from his left eyebrow to his cheek. Leona has a variety of lion-like features, such as light-brown lion ears and a thin tail.

Leona's outfit consists of a dark yellow, sleeveless shirt with a deep v-neck. On top of his shirt, Leona wears a leather vest. He wears worn-out grey jeans, with faded brown chaps on-top; Leona also wears brown shoes. Across his belt, there is a variety of fabrics and a yellow bandana with the Savanaclaw logo on it.

Leona wears a wide variety of accessories, such as a loose beaded choker and a golden necklace. Leona has two bracelets that have the same beads from his choker and a golden bracelet with similar plating to his necklace. In addition to these accessories, Leona wears black gloves and has a lion tattoo on his left arm.

Leona is also described by multiple characters as extremely handsome with an overwhelming wild-like aura and has some intense charms.

As the housewarden, Leona’s outfit somewhat differs from the rest of the Savanaclaw students, the most distinguishing features being his dark-brown chaps and belt accessories. The uniform consists of a sleeveless, dark-yellow shirt, a black leather vest, worn-out jeans, thick beaded jewelry, and an orange-yellow bandana with black trim and the symbol of Savanaclaw printed on it.

The shirt has a deep y-neck, and a black, geometric pattern on the trim. Leona's shirt differs from the rest of the dorm by featuring an asymmetrical cut, with one side falling over his jeans, and the other tucking above them, revealing a bit of his waist. The leather vest has a design reminiscent of a “double-rider” biker jacket, with silver buttons and zippers. The jeans are a cool gray with visible creases; in Leona’s case, his jeans are mostly covered with dark-brown chaps that connect to his belt of the same color.

Over his belt is a bandana, wrapped around his waist and tied together with two silver rings on his left side. Draping over the bandana is a layer of stitched-together fabric in various shades of brown. The fabric hangs on Leona’s left side and resembles a patchy fur pelt. Despite the average Savanaclaw uniform including black biker boots, Leona instead chooses to wear dark brown dress shoes with block heels and a bronze-color stripe over the center. He also wears black short-length gloves.

The uniform includes a variety of jewelry, made up of thick beads that are gold, red, blue, and green. Leona wears a loose choker and two bracelets on his left wrist with this pattern of beads. Additionally, he wears another necklace solely made up of golden beads with several fang-shaped pendants, as well as one more bracelet on his left wrist, also made up of golden beads.

### Personality

Leona is an arrogant and domineering person who’s as prideful as he is lazy. He tends not to waste his energy on those he deems inferior to him, and is only willing to cooperate with others if it benefits him in some way. In the same vein, he puts little to no effort into activities that don’t interest him, especially when it comes to his studies. Although he is incredibly talented when it comes to magic, he tends to slack off, skip classes, and take naps whenever possible. A lack of motivation and attendance has caused him to repeat one school year.

Under certain conditions, Leona’s laziness fades to reveal a fierce competitive side. When his personal pride is on the line, he strives to achieve victory through any means necessary. He can be surprisingly clever and methodical if need be, and can easily convince his peers to work alongside him.

Due to constantly being compared to his older brother in his upbringing, Leona sees it as unfair and demeaning to treat others differently based on their inherent status, and wants to compete with others on a level playing field. Ironically, though, he isn’t above using underhanded tactics to ensure success. Overall, Leona is willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself as a worthy leader, even if it means playing dirty.

## Trivia

* The name Leona comes from "Leo" which means Lion, alluding to Leona's origins, although it means "lioness" in Spanish. Kingscholar comes from "King" and "Scholar" referencing how Scar became king and was very intelligent.
* The "scholar" portion of his last name is a reference to "Scar," and a pun that only works in Japanese: in Japanese, the "スカ *(suka)*" portion of the names are the same.
* Leona often commands Ruggie to get things for him, such as when he requested him to get a menchi katsu sandwich from the cafeteria.
* His Ceremonial robes once accidentally got swapped with Malleus' robes.
* According to Sebek, Malleus frequently approaches Leona.
* Leona has stated he is intimidated by the women of the Sunset Savanna because they are much physically stronger and more strong-willed than the men, including himself. Ruggie corroborates this statement.
	+ This follows the biology of many savanna animals, such as lions and hyenas, wherein the females are hunters and typically dominant in nature.
