Leonard

**Leonard**, labeled **The LARPer**, was a contestant on Total Drama Island, originally as a member of the Rabid Beavers, but was later switched to the Screaming Gophers.

## Personality

Leonard is a passionate LARPer (Live Action Role Player). He dresses like a wizard and  has magic powers. He always carries around his spell book, chanting whenever something goes awry. Like many Total Drama contestants, Leonard seems to mean well, but his mind is not in the right place at the appropriate times. He is very passionate about his wizardry and persists on his spells no matter how ineffective they are.

## Total Drama Island

Leonard arrives to the island in Not So Happy Campers, and is placed on the Rabid Beavers. Due two his obsession with magic and "dorky" personality, he immediately becomes a target to Duncan's bullying throughout the season. While he sits out in the first challenge, he volunteers to fight in the ring in Spite Club. He ends up going up against Alejandro and Courtney in the round, and puts up a surprisingly good fight against the former. As the two aggressively wrestle, they end up throwing each other out of the ring, giving Courtney an automatic win. During the first one-on-one match against the Killer Bass, Leonard volunteers to go again, this time against Lightning. Unlike last time, however, he is quickly pummeled by the brute and is defeated in the match.

While his team suffers many losses, Leonard takes solace in his magic, and slates Sugar as his lovely assistant. They are constantly seen creating "spells" and "potions" together, and in Paintball Deer Hunter, Sugar brings it upon herself to protect Leonard during the hunting challenge. Despite this Leonard is taken out of the challenge with Sugar after a massive paintball fight.

After four episodes, the Beavers are disbanded in Only You Can Prevent Forest Feuds, and Leonard is put on the Screaming Gophers with Sugar and Duncan. With this swap, Leonard continues to stick with Sugar, and after a fight with Courtney, the two run off into the woods alone. They eventually find a nearby cave to sleep in, and Leonard demands Sugar to find food. After she finds some berries eat, Leonard spits them out and gets unusually harsh with her. After getting in a fight with her, the berries begin to make Leonard hallucinate, and he sees Sugar and a giant bear. He spends the rest of the night in this state, and despite his group reaching camp before the rest of the team, they are blamed for their loss.

Sugar is eliminated that night, much to Leonard's dismay, and he spends the next episode angry and hurt. While trapped in the cabin, he gets aggressive with Duncan, hitting him after he continues to bully him. However, things take a bad turn after he steals a poisonous fruit from Duncan, causing both of them to get sick. He continues to be harsh on Duncan after the Gophers lose again in Dodgefall. Leonard scolds Duncan for their loss, but surprisingly, Duncan shows a moment of humility and admits to his faults. Leonard is shocked by this, and starts to debate voting him off. However, in the end, Leonard's rival is eliminated after a tiebreaker.

After getting rid of his main enemy, Leonard finds friendship in Ennui during the trust challenge. The two end up winning the final team challenge for their team; and after the merge in No Pain, No Gain, they go head-to-head in a torture challenge. They are forced to listen to new age music, and though Leonard gets close, he cannot handle it and throws the headphones off, losing the challenge. That night, Leonard is eliminated from the game, due to his wizard antics annoying the remaining campers.

Leonard returns in the finale to be interviewed by Chris. He states that he is completely rooting for Sugar to win and believes his magic will help her do so. Leonard is used in the challenge as a damsel in distress that Sugar must rescue. After reaching him, Sugar runs to the finish with Leonard in tow, but loses to Ennui in the last second. Despite this, Leonard is proud of Sugar's achievement, and congratulates her on her placing.
