Description Jolly lil guy. With issues!

He's the eldest of the brothers, mostly because he appointed himself as such and did everything first (like getting his first growthspurt, the first to walk, the first to talk, etc.)
He's a mixture of all the traits I liked in other generations of Leos. He's the most interested in traditional japanese culture out of his brothers, he's very spiritual and chill, he's arrogant, tells bad jokes and shouts cheesy hero lines in battle. He shows off a lot and tells others what to do a lot. Listens to 70s/2000s pop, and anything mildly ressembling lo-fi. Definetely wholeheartedly believes in horoscopes and tarot card readings. Has a secret stash of weed hidden somewhere that definetely no one knows about (everyone knows).
Unofficially got appointed leader during missions because of how he acts during a fight and how he's already pretty authorative just from being the "eldest". He's got a very strategic mind, though he tends not to plan much past Plan A, which forces him to improvise.
Overall a funky guy!

Dynamics:

Splinter : Gets along very well with him, since they have a lot in common and Leo has a lot of interest in his dad's roots, although Splinter wishes Leo would lose his arrogance. Leo sees his dad as the person he wants to be when he's old, although with a lot more "pizazz" and a little less "old".

Raph : Leo really dislikes how Raph disapears for ages and mingles with humans. Leo sees this as dangerous for everyone, including Raph himself. Other than that, they get along just fine; they like to train together often, being the most passionate about ninjutsu, and tend not to butt heads too much outside of what's already been said.

Donnie : They love eachother but man do these two fight a LOT. Donnie thinks too much according to Leo, who tends to be a lot more spontaneous. They're both very stubborn when they want to be, and tend to have a hard time seeing other people's different points of view as valid. Leo also tends to lose interest in whatever Donnie's explaining pretty quickly. OUTSIDE of all that though they're a nightmare when they get on the same page, easily forming plans and contingency plans for any mission. They tend to be seen as the "sharp" danger to ennemies. 

Mickey : Eldest vs youngest dynamic. They get along really well, although Mikey tends to disregard Leo's orders the most. They've both got similar amounts of energy and temperements, they do a lot of innocent scheming and dressing up for fun together. Leo very much sees Mikey as the little brother he has to take care of and indulge, and really doesn't hate doing so. They end to come up with the most batshit plans and ideas when put together, real goofers.

April : Leo loves chatting with her, from gossip to life drama to theoretical debates to fashion to litterally anything. They chat. She's the only one that can order him around, specifically without him ignoring tht order behind her back. Leo tends to go to her when he has a problem that he feels Splinter can't solve.

Casey: They get along pretty well, although Leo doesn't agree with Casey's way of approaching certain situations. They hate eachother's music tastes. They tend to play really passionate boardgames together for some reason.
