Leon's name may be derived from the plant dandelion, hence his Japanese name, 'Dande'. However, he is still a kind and compassionate human being, as shown when he shields Hop and the protagonist with his Charizard from a blast from Eternatus.
He also only has pictures of himself in his house, and, strangely enough, none of his brother Hop. During his champion battle against the player, he is still very focused on himself and his winning streak, not even considering the possibility that he may lose. Leon is a very confident person, even to the point where he can sometimes come off as self-centered. He also wears white shorts with white tights underneath with a black and gold diamond pattern down the side. He wears a baseball cap tilted upwards to show off the crown design on the brim, a red fur-lined cape that has logos of sponsors on the back, and a black striped shirt that has a sword and shield on it. Leon is a tall man, with long, purple hair and amber eyes.
