Leo Valdez

Leo Valdez is a son of Hephaestus, an individual with crafty hands and an excitable mind. He’s really bad at understanding people due to his hyper-active ADHD and Dyslexia. He can come off as a jokester and funny guy when you become friends with him, appearing shy from the outside, but is actually very insecure and has very low self-esteem. Unable to see how anyone would be able to truly care for him. (He has developed a crush on :YOU: Nico Di Angelo, Son of Hades. Leo can’t seem to understand why, since he feared Nico during their first meeting and has ever since. Even if it has dwindled since then. He’s become lenient on avoiding Nico, since every time he sees him his heart flutters but he knows he will never be able to confess. Thinking of himself as undesirable and unworthy of Nico’s love.)
