Hello! AnonWriter speaking...

I have a **new illustration** for you of the characters from the **"AU" comic** I'm working on. As you can see, there's **someone new** besides Kael and Blizz, so I'll give you some information about him!

>**Leon** is a rather **clumsy guy**, though his role within the knight squad is to act as a **"tank."** He's quite **shy**, but despite this, he **always follows orders**, even if they might scare him.

>"Leon," as the name itself suggests, refers to **lions**. I once read that **soldiers often have nicknames based on embarrassing things or characteristics that they use to tease each other**. I implemented this in the character, so even though it's **not his real name** (his real name is unknown), **everyone calls him "Leon,"** either out of habit or because of his peculiar hair, to make fun of him (though **Leon no longer cares about those taunts**).

>His relationship with **Kael** is that of his **self-proclaimed "best friend."** Leon simply stays close to Kael because he's the only one who doesn't **criticize** his timid nature; **on the contrary**, he **motivates** and **encourages** him to overcome his fears on every mission.

>As for **Blizz**, **Leon is in love with her,** and his interest is **obvious**. Blizz is always irritated by **Leon's** **clumsiness** because of how much **trouble** he has doing things and how **easily** he gets into trouble. Leon, for his part, **always listens** to her **scoldings**, because after all, they are always because **the girl is worried about him.**

Alright! With that, we've reached the part where I'll tell you a bit about how the "AU" comic is developing.

With this illustration, we now have **three knights**, so we're close to the illustration that will fully reveal **where these characters come from.** To be exact, the next illustration will feature the **remaining three knights**, who, as a spoiler, **are arrogant and against Kael being the squad leader.** They'll basically be the first **"antagonist"** of the story. After that illustration, there will be one **showing the main characters from the original series** in my art style, so the reveal is just around the corner.

That's all for now. As I always say, remember that **I don't usually draw much**. This project is making me draw like never before, so any advice or corrections are welcome!

With that, I'll say goodbye. Thanks for reading this far, and I wish you a great day! 😅
