Leopold

Leopold is a contestant on Total Drama Time Travel. He is labeled **The Musical Genius**.

## Biography

Leopold is the only child of a wealthy Austrian pianist. Leopold's father taught him at a very early age how to play the piano, and Leopold's gift quickly surpassed his father's ability. People come from all around the world to see and hear Leopold play the piano, willing to pay to be able to witness a performance. Leopold enters a different world when he plays the piano, forgetting about any problems he may be facing in life, and often taking his emotions to the piano. He is able to compose beautiful pieces of music, without even thinking about it. When he isn't playing the piano, Leopold is very flamboyant and awkward. He doesn't interact very well with people his age, often being discriminated against for his wealth by common people, and even teased by wealthier teens for his flamboyance. Leopold prefers to simply lose himself in his piano playing as opposed to social interaction. One day he went to town by himself, where he was beaten and robbed by a group of men. He felt fortunate that he wasn't severely injured, but is afraid that if such a situation happened, again, he might suffer a career ending injury. Leopold is now very afraid of other people, even his closest family members. He realizes that such fear is unfounded and based on an isolated occurrence, but he can't help but feel paranoid at all hours.

## Total Drama Time Travel

When Leopold appeared, in Welcome to the Present, he pinched Chris' cheek. Chris sighed and pondered why he brought him onto the show. He told the others that Leopold's music appeared in cartoons, which confused many of them. The other contestants stared at Leopold, which made him nervous. Alexander the Generally Awesome commented that Leopold dressed flamboyantly but didn't like getting stared at. Leopold laughed flamboyantly at a joke he made, scaring Quog, and causing him to hide behind Ira. Crimson Rose, a pirate girl, arrived on the show and commented that she thought Leopold was beautiful. Alexander was surprised that Crimson Rose liked 'that sort of guy'. El Serpiente arrived and was about to attack Chris. Leopold stood in the way, causing El Serpiente to back down, saying that he wouldn't go near 'that'. When Sir Perlative arrived, Leopold requested to touch the teen's cape, which Sir Perlative allowed. Leopold cried at Julietta's entrance, and she thanked him, though she thought he was female.

Leopold was concerned when Chris disappeared momentarily, in Central Theme Park. He told Chris that he blossomed to be the beautiful man he was now, disturbing Chris. During the challenge, Leopold and Crimson Rose were paired together. They walked through the park with their arms interlocked. Leopold had to change out of his usual outfit in order to wear a Medieval costume and fit in in the Middle Ages, in Total Drama Time Travel and the Quest for the Holy Grail. He felt embarrassed, and wanted to at least wear his wig, but he wasn't allowed.

Alexander stared when Sir Perlative went to bed early, in And Then There Were Eighteen. Leopold was nervous that he was staring, but Alexander explained that he wish he was a good leader like Sir Perlative. Leopold assured him that he was one of the best that ever existed, according to the others. Alexander asked Leopold why he wore makeup, and Leopold explained that it was common in his era and it made him feel less common. Alexander told him that he looked like a real man without the makeup, and Leopold thanked him. After finding a shelter at the challenge site, Robert was believed to have been poisoned. Alexander said that he, Leopold, Quog, and Ira were the strongest, and could overtake the killer if they should appear. Ira was struck by a dart and left unconscious. Quog refused to leave his friend's side, and Alexander and Leopold left and went into a library. Leopold said he really trusted Alexander, and Alexander complimented Leopold's eyes. Alexander sat down while Leopold read from a book about Alexander. He said he was sorry about Alexander's parents assassination, and Alexander said he missed them. Leopold read on, and said that Alexander dies at twenty-two. He said that they could change that if he told him how it happened. Alexander objected, saying that if he changed it, it might end up hurting the future. He said he'd rather not hear any details about it. Leopold turned to another section, and thought the book had a lie in it about Alexander being in a romantic relationship with another man. Alexander confirmed that he was bisexual. Leopold put the book away and became very grim. He told Alexander to stop being that way. Alexander said it was common in his time. The boys soon smelled gas, and went unconscious.

After losing the challenge, Alexander was eliminated. He blamed Leopold, and said that he should accept him for the way he was. Before sending Alexander back in the past, Leopold requested to be sent back with him so he could explain himself. Leopold explained privately that he voted for him to keep him from learning about how he died. Alexander didn't believe the explanation. Leopold made Alexander promise not to tell a secret. Alexander agreed. Leopold revealed that his best friend was homosexual, but confused about it. He asked Leopold if he should pursue the relationship. Leopold, not knowing what it meant, told his friend to pursue the relationship. The relationship between Leopold's friend and his boyfriend was found out, and the men were executed. Leopold blamed himself. He said he didn't want Alexander brought to a time where it was against the law. Alexander felt bad and said he was honored to have met Leopold, and they hugged. Chris came to bring Leopold back to the competition. Alexander discreetly told Leopold that he would try to control his feelings toward other males, and that he only did it because of the influences around him in his time. He said he wanted to do it so Leopold could have a clear conscience. Leopold thanked him before leaving with Chris.

Leopold was the only one to feel bad, in Hair Today, Gone Last Week, when Chris said that his favorite hair gel had been discontinued. During the modern day challenge, Leopold stood in the way when Crimson Rose was walking alone with a local guy in a polo shirt. Leopold told the young man to take his hand off of her. The guy said she never mentioned having a boyfriend, and he then pleaded with Leopold, saying that it was his first chance at having a girlfriend. He tried to get passed Leopold, and Leopold punched the guy in the mouth, knocking out a tooth. He ran away. Leopold told Crimson Rose that the guy gave him a bad feeling. She asked him why the guy referred to Leopold as her boyfriend. Leopold said he didn't know, while blushing, but asked Crimson Rose not to leave his side, again. Later, when handing a petition to prevent Chris' favorite hair gel from being discontinued to an executive's secretary, she noticed Leopold's famous name. She threw it out, thinking it was impossible to get his name on the petition, and therefore the whole thing was forged. After losing the challenge, Leopold and Crimson Rose met outside their rooms. They revealed that they liked each other, but it wasn't wise to pursue the relationship, as they had to go back to their times and lives when the contest was over for them. Leopold held Crimson Rose close to him. Leopold was eliminated after getting his teammates to send him home, because he did not want Crimson Rose to fall for him anymore than she already had. He asked her to try to forget him. When he was sent back to his time period, he was visibly upset.

Crimson Rose was eliminated in Prom and Circumstance. Crimson Rose was sent back to her time, where she was on deck with her mother. They boarded a fancy boat, and demanded treasure. The man on the boat talked to his master, who didn't care if they took the treasure or not. He eventually came out to talk to the others, and Crimson Rose saw that it was Leopold. The two embraced, and Leopold asked to be a member of Crimson Rose's mother's crew. She eventually agreed, and Leopold told his servant to assure his parents that he was okay, and that he was happy.
