Tommy

"You two brats need to take a chill pill!"

**Tommy** is one of the main antagonists of the Leeko: The Beginning series along with King Leonardo and during the first half of the *Leeko: Adventures in Proxima* series. He is a turtle-like creature who serves as Leonardo's primary assistant and is almost always at his side, despite the abuse he receives from the king.

## Physical appearance

Tommy resembles a snapping turtle; he has light green skin, a bright yellow beak, a brown shell with a beige underside, and brown shoes.

## Personality

Tommy has high intelligence - knowing a great deal about chemistry and electronics, even writing a book on botany - but he uses it for evil and to help Leonardo with his various schemes to get rid of Leeko. He is also very selfish, dishonest, and paranoid, to the point where he keeps a stash of jewels hidden in the castle and away from the very selfish eyes of Leonardo. Tommy is also very egotistical and disrespectful towards others, and often speaks sarcastically to them. These negative traits likely came from the physical and emotional abuse he gets from Leonardo.

Despite his cruel and sadistic ways, Tommy is quite effeminate and has moments where he gets nervous in serious situations, which annoys Leonardo. Tommy is also seen as a genius, as he is able to invent and operate complex machinery, formulate effective plans, and make advanced mathematical calculations. Tommy also has moments where he is nice to Leeko, though these moments do occur when Leonardo isn’t around. Most notably, Tommy cares deeply for his older brother Albert and would do anything to please him, even if it angers King Leonardo.
