Leonard was a contestant on Total Drama: Pahkitew Island, as a member of the Wâneyihtam Maskwak. He was also a competitor on Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race, as a member of The LARPers, with Tammy.

Personality[]

Leonard is a passionate LARPer (Live Action Role Player). He dresses like a wizard and believes he has magic powers. This becomes the theme of his team when he competes in Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race. He carries his spell book with him at all times, chanting a spell if things goes wrong. While Leonard appears to have good intentions, his mind isn't in the right place at the right moment. He is devoted to his wizardry, and no matter how ineffectual his spells are, he continues to cast magic.

Total Drama: Pahkitew Island[]

EllaDaveLeonardSong

Leonard is among the many eccentric contestants this season, much to Dave's annoyance.

Leonard, along with the rest of the new cast, debuts in "So, Uh, This Is My Team?" Leonard believes he is a real wizard, claiming that he can cast a spell on Dave. After having to jump out of the zeppelin, Leonard's parachute fails to work, and he pulls out a spellbook to look for a spell that allows him to fly. Shortly after, he believes that he had succeeded when, in actuality, he was caught by Jasmine. He is then placed on Waneyihtam Maskwak with the other six contestants who did not have actual parachutes. Leonard performs poorly in the challenge, failing to retrieve any building materials and suggest that his team should build a wizard tower, with Ella, Sugar, and Beardo supporting his idea. Despite Dave's protests, they end up creating and completing the tower; however, the latter falls and tumbles as a stampede of moose appear. Because of his poor suggestion, Leonard ends up in the bottom two at the elimination ceremony but receives the final marshmallow of the night.

Dave and Leonard argue over the latter's actions.

During the next challenge ("I Love You, Grease Pig!"), Leonard again performs poorly, where he is chosen by Sugar to compete in the last part of the challenge. Instead of climbing the wall normally, Leonard tries to cast several spells to lift the pig over it, which predictably fails. Dave, whose already running out of patience with Leonard, scolds him to stop fooling around and to climb the wall normally. Leonard however, persists that his spells are not working because Dave doesn't believe in him, making Dave get even more frustrated with him. This gives Jasmine enough time to beat Leonard, making the team lose for the second time in a row. With the exception of Sugar, the majority of the team votes off Leonard that night for costing their team the challenge. Leonard is shocked to find out that he is eliminated and attempts to reverse time before being picked up by Chef Hatchet, much to Chris' amusement. Leonard again tries to cast many lethal spells before being shot out of the Cannon of Shame, where only Sugar is sad to see him go.

Following his elimination, Leonard is often mentioned by others, usually Sugar whose last words before she is eliminated in "Pahk'd With Talent" is a shout-out to him. Despite his short span on the show, Leonard's poor performance has label him a laughing stock by others such as Chris in "Sky Fall" who jokes that he surprisingly misses him, then shouts "force field," as a reference to the first episode and when Shawn is considering who he will choose to be his helper in "Lies, Cries and One Big Prize," he mentions that a person with a good physical ability is a good ally and says he would be fine with "anyone but Leonard", after listing almost every character.

Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race[]

LeoTheFreak

Leonard & Tammy meets Owen, where he promptly freaks him out.

In "None Down, Eighteen to Go—Part 1," Leonard quickly gets over his defeat on Total Drama: Pahkitew Island and joins another reality show, The Ridonculous Race, this time with his classmate and fellow LARPer, Tammy, as his partner. They first met in the ninth grade when they were both shoved into the same locker and form a camaraderie while having lunch inside said locker and waiting for the janitor to get them out. He believes that, with her help, their victory is guaranteed. Unfortunately, Leonard has not learnt from his prior defeat and continues to believe he is a true wizard with actual magical abilities. His unusual behavior makes even Owen steer clear of him.

Annoying larpers and the goths

The LARPers try to make alliances but fail.

In "None Down, Eighteen to Go—Part 2," while Leonard seems to have gotten more strategic by attempting to form alliances with multiple teams, just like before, Leonard's belief in his powers causes his defeat. They are slowed down after attempting to use "dragon coins" as money, and despite being ahead of the last two teams, he and Tammy decide to slow the others down. They attempt to cast a magic spell, but nothing happens as they are overtaken and lose the Race. Despite this, and despite Don's criticism for their "use" of magic, Leonard stays upbeat, explaining that entering the Race has allowed him to do many things he couldn't do before.

Leonard and Tammy appear in "A Million Ways to Lose a Million Dollars" with the other eliminated contestants, watching the final outcome of the Race. After the winner is declared, he joins the others in the final group shot.

Leonard in his audition tape.

Leonard talks about how he'd be a good contestant because he has taken down vampires and demons from other dimensions. He is interrupted by a call from his friend Timmy and tells him how he can't come over because he's making a video, his unicycle was stolen, and he can't walk because it's raining and his cape is made of paper.

Trivia[]

Comparisons[]

Competition[]

  • Much like Ezekiel, Leonard was eliminated in the second episode both times he competed. This makes him one of four contestants to be eliminated in an episode of the same number.
    • Both were eliminated in the second part of the two-part premiere of a show.
    • Both also ranked eighteenth in a season of both shows where the theme involves traveling around the world.
  • He is tied with Blaineley for the second-lowest amount of participation overall in Total Drama (both ahead of Staci and Beardo) with two episodes each.
  • The LARPers have the lowest amount of participation episodes in The Ridonculous Race, having competed in only two episodes.
  • Leonard is the only contestant from Total Drama: Pahkitew Island to compete on The Ridonculous Race and, as such, is the only contestant from the third-generation to compete more than once.

Miscellaneous[]

  • Leonard is the only contestant from the third-generation cast of Total Drama to meet a contestant from the first cast.
  • Leonard is the second character to wear a one-piece outfit; in his case, wizard robes. The first was Blaineley.
  • Leonard, along with Beardo and Dawn, are the only contestants to have only 1 confessional.
  • Though Leonard's feet are covered by his cloak most of the time, it can be seen on several occasions, even in his rotation sheet, that he wears navy blue sneakers.
  • Though his design stays the same, his skin tone is darker in Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race.
