Leon Cairo Acker

**Leon Cairo Acker** was a Guardian born on World 7, and one of the two consultants of Darumala's ruler, King Parker.

## Appearance

Leon is a sturdy male guardian with thick off-white fur fluffing up around his extremities, with pale brown flecks around the neck matching his nose and hooves, he has soft blue eyes, and a branded stardust plate symbol into his right shoulder. His tail is docked near the base, and a fabric tag with bead and tassel replaces it.

## Personality

High spirited if not a touch naive, Leon is the light that keeps his peers going. He remains the more optimistic of the trio, admittedly less aware of some of the darker matters in their lives, but using this lasting spark of much welcome positivity to keep the others feeling grounded. He is an amazing listener and infinitely helpful with the other’s work, and remains possibly the last bit of hopeful nature amongst them, though knows deep down this might only be because he doesn’t truly understand the extent of it all, but is conflicted on whether he’d even want to. He’s well aware what that spark is doing for them, and he doesn’t want to let it go.

## History

### Pre-Series

Left hand guard of TG King Parker, Leon was born to Cairo and Duchess Acker on the morning after the King’s birth, and so from the start was prophesied to be destined to be one of his two protectors alongside Arvak Banderas. Leon’s parents were travellers from Tunchi visiting Darumala who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, having their son be born early during their trip and being forced to either stay or give him up to the court. With two young sons Hunter and Tyler back home in Tunchi, the pair were at a loss until Remick and Gemma Banderas, parents of the recently born Arvak, offered to take Leon into their care with him until the duo could figure something out. Knowing their child was under the safety of a trusted ex-nobleman, the pair agreed, and so Leon for most of his early life was raised alongside Arvak and King in a loving household where all were treated like their true children.

Upon moving to the palace at adulthood, Leon alongside Arvak would have his right shoulder branded with a stardust plate symbol, with intent to now forever stand on King’s left side and keep the lucky sign facing him at all times, as well as completely devoting his life to the care of the TG. Amongst the other two’s more downtrodden and depressive outlook on life, Leon would take the place of the more optimistic of the trio, admittedly less aware of some of the darker matters with Dallion, but using this lasting spark of much welcome positivity to keep the others feeling grounded. While his counterpart deals with the more delicate emotional matters, Leon is much more accustom to helping King with work and daily life, doing all he can to make it easier for him.

His parents still continue to travel with his two brothers, though frequently come to visit Darumala to spend time with Leon too, often bringing gifts and fawning over him, though they are often apart their bond remains strong, and they always look forward to sharing stories and such when they meet. Leon remains possibly the last bit of hopeful nature amongst the trio, he knows deep down that might only be because he doesn’t truly understand the extent of it all, but is conflicted on whether he’d even want to, he’s well aware what that spark is doing for them, and he doesn’t want to let it go.
