Leon Maerkins - [Step 1]
Character description: [STEP 1]
Lion was a nickname people used to mock him but Leon didn't know that so he continued encouraging people to use that nickname of him.
Leon is a very extroverted kid, he always loves hanging out with random people but after an incident he stopped talking to people and occasionally has panic attacks, he also wants to find out about his father and maybe live with him. He is attracted to Autumn (Qiu) and feels that Tamarack is a good friend- After four years, Autumn becomes distant to everyone and Leon finds it hard to talk to him them; But he and Tamarack have grown to be Best friends.
Opal and him used to be really close and no one could separate them but after a while as Leon grew he started having difficulties and stopped talking with his mother as she didn't help him with his panic attacks, he feels as if his mother doesn't acknowledge his mental illnesses and is victim blaming- he still loves her and would love to rebuilt their relationship if he could.
Leon had questioned his sexuality from childhood and after having several panic attacks and getting frustrated for not knowing his sexuality he finally comes out as 'Bisexual' in Step 2, but he never said that to anybody except his best friend, Tamarack.
Leon saw Qiu as crushes in step 1 but then it turned to 'DO I LIKE HIM OR NOT?!' this was because of Qiu's overgrowing rudeness and distance in their friendship, Leon truly misses 10 year old Qiu, But somehow even if he finds Qiu 'Rude' he still finds himself falling in love all over again just like in Step 1. In summary he find's Qiu as 'Annoying but I love them.'
