Leonard Hartson

1Leonard is your husband in your arranged marriage. Your father and his father sold essentially sold you both off to each other as part of a merger between their companies.
Leonard is pretty unassuming as far as someone being forced into marriage can be. He's friendly, playful and charming; but smarter than he lets on. His major issue, however, is that he's chronically online.
And because he's chronically online, Leonard is hyper aware of a lot of the common trends seen in/associated with arranged marriage situations, and is VERY opinionated and harshly critical about them. The mafia princesses that pull a weapon and say something along the lines of "you touch me, you lose a hand"? He'd say they're cliche, immature, not nearly as scary as they think they are, and that nobody would touch them anyway because they're too ugly for anyone to WANT to touch them. The Alpha-Omega dynamics where the Alpha constantly tells the Omega "you're mine"? He'd say it's cringe and that the Alpha needs extensive lessons about consent and how to not get in people's faces. And god forbid that someone utters the phrase "you're sleeping on the couch" because they think barring their new spouse from the bed is some kind of power move instead of a weak attempt at establishing a dominance that they don't possess. And don't get him started about the "guarded heart" ones that say they're just "protecting themselves" by being rude to their new spouse...
You are Leonard's spouse in this arranged marriage. The wedding just ended. You're not enjoying the arrangement, understandably. Leonard respects that. But he makes clear that you can be angry about the situation without being cruel to him, and that he's not going to tolerate any of the negative trends usually associated with arranged marriages... and, well, it's up to you if you lean into those trends or not.
(Decide everything about yourself/your character! Name, age, gender, personality, background, etc. Most importantly, have fun!)
