I WALK THIS EMPTY STREET
[/color][/font][/center]Personality
[/font][/center]DISLIKES: Boys hitting on Andi; tea; milk; turkeys - he's weirded out by the fact that they can still run headless and then drop dead; commitment; winter; clothes and shoes that fit incorrectly
LIKES: Girls, firewhiskey; dragons; Quidditch; flying; riding dragons; Romania; autumn; looking good; his cousins (Andi, Xee and Rafe best)
BAD HABITS: Ignoring good advice; Breaking the rules;
GOOD HABITS: Protects his family; uses his manners; keeps his wand on him at all times.
WEAKNESSES: If anyone ever threatened to hurt Andi, he'd react. Badly; He has a temper, and is prone to overreacting to things that he is invested in; Pretty women - he's a hotblooded, attractive male, and he likes women. The lengths he'll go to for a woman he cares for are astonishing, especially to anyone who has ever called him a slacker.
STRENGTHS: He's very charming, and accomplished at convincing people to do something; He's passionate about the dragons, and he's a very good wizard; Leo has a personality that overwhelms and simultaneously ticks off some people, but also gains him respect and sway in decisions; Leo is very loyal, and would hunt down anyone who tried to hurt or threaten his near and dear ones.
PERSONALITY: Leo, having grown up with over twenty children (immediate cousins and siblings), learnt early on not to strive for the top spot, because there were always three other people waiting in the wings. Instead, he decided to just be himself, and, by doing so, he shined.
They all had their titles growing up. Andi had been the tomboy, and Rafe had been the sarcastic one, and everyone knew that on his mother's side, Tricia was the ambitious one, and on his father's side, Sierra was the rockstar while her sister Liena was the dreamer.
Well, Leo was the dragon boy. Heck, he even acted like one at times. Even as a child, he was fiercely loyal and protective of his loved ones, regardless of their age. He also had perfected the art of disregarding things he disliked.
Essentially, Leo is a strong-willed Gryffindor who knows how to persevere, as he grew up in a massive family without much money. He's a charmer, and he'll flirt outrageously - however, contrary to popular belief, he does actually have standards.
He refuses to shag any Pureblood brat that complains about how much their life sucks. He'll flirt with them, and make them want him, but he won't shag them. It's not much, but it's a standard.
Leo believes in loving life, and living to the max. His mother had pleaded with him, at first, for him to pursue a safer career, but he'd held his ground, determined that he'd live his life how he wished - after all, you only get one shot at life.

HISTORY: Leo was the second child born to a small offshoot of a massive family. Diego and Rosandra met at Hogwarts, where they were in different years and houses. Rosa had been a fourth year Gryffindor when the handsome Ravenclaw had asked her out.
Two years after Rosa's graduation, the pair married. Rosa was already a well-known Wizarding dancer, and by Christmas that year, she was the it-girl dancer. However, after only a few brief years, she retired, as she was pregnant.
Lotario was born without a hitch, and after nearly three years of doting on Ari, Leo was born. By then, Carlos' bookstore was doing reasonably well, and the couple were ecstatic (as was Ari - Leo clapped a lot, but he didn't really understand) to find out that another baby would be joining the family.
When Luca was born, Ari and Leo were completely used to babies - as their extended family kept having more and more - but they weren't used to having one of their own, and they used to parade poor Luca around.
Ari would lug him around like a doll in a toy stroller that they 'borrowed' from their cousin Giana, and Leo would stare at Luca with wide eyed fascination, and often prodded him in the stomach, giggling delightedly whenever he felt the soft skin feeling squishy beneath his finger.
Finally, the last sibling was born. Laszlo Perez arrived with a bang - he was a month early. Not only is he the youngest of the siblings, but he's the smallest by far. This was where the protective streak Leo had slowly been developing went into overdrive. Whenever Eberardo mocked Laz for being small, Leo would defend Laz fiercely, occasionally ending up on Eb's back and pummeling him with his little fists.
Leo wasn't alone when he went to Hogwarts, which he was forever grateful for. His cousin, Rafael, was in his year, as was his almost-cousin, Xavier, Andi's cousin. Also in their year was Liena, Giana, and, much to Leo's disgruntlement, Patricia and Eberardo.
He loved all of his cousins, but Tricia was far too ambitious for his liking, and he and Eb had never seen eye to eye.
After being sorted into Gryffindor with Xee (Xavier) - Rafe and Liena had been Ravenclaws, and Eb and Tricia were Slytherins, while Giana was a Hufflepuff.
Leo played beater with Xavier from their second year until the year that Andi joined the team, when Xavier decided to trial for Keeper and he became Keeper, and Andi was Leo's beater partner.
After seven years of partying, having fun, dropping Divination as soon as he could, and failing History of Magic but acing CoMC, DADA, Transfiguration and Charms, Leo was accepted into the Dragon Taming Academy at the dragon taming centre in Romania.
He finished his course in three years, and was made a qualified dragon tamer. It was the week after his final exams that his mother told him that his paternal grandfather died. Leo had floo-ed back to Britain for the funeral, but had floo-ed back immediately afterwards, unable to look his family in the eye.
He's since talked to each and everyone of his father's family, and they all understand why he stayed away, and how he couldn't look at them for fear of falling apart and being weak.
Leo has been granted a sabbatical and, while he misses the dragons dearly, he's enjoying his first few nights back in Britain, and is arriving on a different (graduated) cousin's doorstep every second night or so, to live until he finds a place to rent.
He's excited to see his family again, and all the British women - he comes over a fair bit, but never as long as this sabbatical. He's also glad that he can still see the dragons while on his sabbatical - he is allowed to floo back to check on the dragons, but only if called by a fellow tamer.
