Personality
Leonard, or Leo for short, is a very relaxed person. He doesn't like stressing over small things or even big ones for that matter. But that is not to say he's careless, Leo carefully thinks about his actions before acting and goes for the safer plans rather than just charging in.
Most of the time Leo is helpful towards others and remains polite and courteous under most circumstances, even towards his enemies. The only time that Leo would be seen insulting someone is too make the other person angry for reasons that, most likely, only Leo knows or if Leo himself is angry which happens very rarely.
The only thing that truly enrages Leo is injustice and oppression. He hates seeing people get hurt for no reason and some unfairly treating others for the simple fact that they are "better" for some reason or another.
Leo is also very eloquent, he almost always gets his point across through words and charisma but he is not without his quirks. Leo often gets distracted by minor things like a good book or tasty food which may cause problems later on.
Appearance
Leo has black eyes and black hair that go to about ear length which he parts in the middle and keep out of his eyes with a black hair band that covers his forehead. He's got a fairly muscular built but is not a huge hulk of muscle. Overall he's what would most call, handsome with sharp features. He usually dresses in a sleeveless black shirt with the collar opened, baggy black trousers and boots. He can also be seen carrying his sword most of the time.

Background
Place of Birth: Toroa - West Blue
Important People:
Mother - Kairi Le Clerc:
Kairi very much raised her son by herself. She was always kind and smiling yet despite that she could on occasion be terrifying when angry, especially if she kept smiling. She is also not a woman to be underestimated as she spent her childhood and teenage years traveling from Wano in the New World to the West Blue with her father.
Maternal Grandfather - Zatoshi:
Leonard's grandfather was the one who taught him everything he knows about the world and fighting. Leonard actually knows little of his grandfather's life, only that he comes from a country far into the Grand Line and that in his youth he was quite a renown fighter but that was so long ago barely anyone would remember it now.
Childhood Friend/First Love - Maya Saga: A no nonsense girl that always tried to kept the boys in check. She learned Naginata-jutsu basics from Zatoshi but it was mostly from Kairi she learned more advanced skills before leaving the island. She and Leo always had a thing for one another but the her strict attitude and Leonard's thickness prevented anything from ever blossoming.
Childhood Friend - Arno Saga: The exact opposite of his twin sister, Arno is rough and hot headed but he always has good intention. Do not even look at his sister wrong or he'll tear you apart. The only exceptions to that rule are Leonard and Renaud, whom he considers family, never realizing the other two boys had feeling for his sister. Arno never learned any weapon skills favouring hand to hand combat, that Zatoshi beat into him.
Childhood Best Friend/Rival - Renaud N. Toroen: This was Leonard's best friend for most of his life. The two were always together and were so similar in personality that some actually mistook them for brothers. For many years Renaud tried to convince Leo to get on board with his Marine plans but the other boy never listened. So the two promised to meet on the seas one day, neither of them knowing the path Leonard would later take in life. Renaud learned to wield a standard katana from Zatoshi, as the Nodachi forms were a family secret.
Crew & Nakama:
Kusatta "Starving" Kotei - First Mate and Chef:
Despite the Dino-man's attitude, Leo knows that deep down he is a good person and trusts him, as the swordsman quickly understood what the First Mate looked for was a family, and that the crew had become that family.
Brandon Penguin - Personal Penguin and Navigator:
Now Leonard loves that bird. He'd bring him along for everything if he could. Despite having claimed ownership of the little guy, Leo does not consider Brandon a pet but a full fledged Nakama.
Hiroto Shiaru - Doctor:
Hiroto is what some might call the "mother" of the Shining Pirates. She is the one that mend the others wounds and make sure they stay on track. In fact she reminds Leonard of his own mother. A fact that disturbs him more than anything.
"Gunner" Hikaru Shin - Shipwright and Inventor:
While initially quiet and reserved, Hikaru slowly opened up and became closer to the captain after the two had a big heart to heart.
Enemies & Rivals:
"Colossus" Marcus Rhodes:
When the two first met, Rhodes was a Commander in the Holy Remunum Army, folk hero and widely considered the strongest man in the Empire and possibly one of, if not the, strongest man in North Blue. Leonard was just a no name pirate that amused the experienced warrior with his tenacity. To Leo, Rhodes is a mountain to climb, something to surpass, as he was the first person to really show him how weak he truly was. The pirate is determined to face this man again. Little does he know, but following their encounter Rhodes decided to answer the world draft and joined the Marines as a Rear Admiral.
Character Goals: To see and experience all the world has to offer and to make sure his nakama achieve their own dreams.
History:
Leo's father was a merchant in Toroa, Christopher LeClerc who one day ran into a wandering swordsman from the Wa no Kuni and his daughter. Zatoshi was injured and realized he would not be able to get back to his homeland, desperate he began to wander Toroa for help. He found it in Christopher who agreed to let the swordsman and his daughter to stay with him. Christopher and Kairi quickly fell in love and got married. They eventually had a child whom they named Leonard.
However this perfect life only lasted until Leo was 5 years old. One day some nobleman wanted to take some valuable merchandise from Christopher's shop for only a fraction of the price but Leo father would have none of it, so the nobleman killed Christopher right on the spot. Everyone knew who had done it but none dared to say a word about in fear of repercussion. This is where Leo's hate of injustice stems from.
Leonard found solace in both his training and his friends. Three other kids that always hung around the shop because Christopher would give them candy. When they heard what happened to the kind shopkeeper they went to the newly orphaned boy and all swore that when they grew up they would make things better for everyone. This really was the doing of Renaud, the boy was actually of a noble family of Toroa while the other two, Arno and Maya were actually children of the family that served Renaud's. The four children spent their days playing, training under Zatoshi's tutelage and dreaming of their future. However as the years went by a small rift began to grow. Renaud soon decided he would abandon his nobility to be become a Marine and the two Saga children had every intention of following, but that was not the case for LeClerc. When the time came and his childhood friends left Toroa, Leonard saw them off swearing they would again, after refusing Renaud's offer to join him one last time.
As the years progressed Leo, further learned swordsmanship from his grandfather while his mother minded the shop. And so they years went on somewhat peacefully, the training was hard but fulfilling and Leo also helped his mother as often as he could. The more time past the more Leo felt restrained on the island of his birth. He wanted to see the world and all it had to offer. So the young man carefully began to plan his travels. He'd need to learn about navigation and get a boat. So Leo's careful, and somewhat slow, preparations began.
Leo is now 20 years old and with only a small boat, his navigational skills, a sword and his mother's blessing, the young man went off on his adventures upon the blue seas. What awaited him? Nobody knew, but Leo couldn't wait to see what lie beyond the horizon.
