    Appearance:
    Leo has always considered himself unremarkable in the looks department. He possesses a long, oval-shaped face without a particularly defined jaw, but a strong brow and striking blue-green eyes make up for that. His brown hair has the same characteristic red tinge the rest of the Fisks have, and is usually kept short. He pays little attention to fashion and dresses plainly. He stands at 5’ 9” with a somewhat gangly build, and is right handed.
    History:
    1861 | Xena and Leo are born.

    1862 | Ari goes to Hogwarts. Tiny Leo does not notice or care.

    1864 | Dory is born and Jules goes to Hogwarts. Leo is not particularly bothered because he’s three years old.

    1866 | Katia goes to school and Nemo is born. Leo is more excited at the prospect of having brothers to play with when they get older.

    1868 | Zelda is born and Leo is unimpressed, considering that Xena is anything but fun. Why would Zelda be any different? Leo also shows his first sign of magic: enchanting a toy sword to fight on its own!

    1870 | Marlena leaves for school. Leo is starting to wish that he were older so he could escape, too.

    1872 | Leo and Xena leave for Hogwarts and are sorted into Hufflepuff. Leo is a little annoyed at being stuck with his twin again, but gets over it as they each form their own groups of friends.

    1873 | Dory, Nemo, and Zelda capsize a boat. Leo nearly panics and goes in the lake to fetch them until Zee shows her first sign of magic, saving the three.

    1874 | Katia marries. Zelda decides she wants to be a pirate, but someone sees fit to inform her that she can’t. HUGE MISTAKE. Having grown fond of his youngest sister in spite (or perhaps because) of her flights of fancy, he pacifies her by playing swords with her when their father isn’t home.

    1875 | Katia spawns, Dory goes to Hogwarts, and Zelda decides she wants to be a knight. Brannon attempts to acquire her some female friends, much to her chagrin, and Leo laughs at and pities her in equal measure. He continues to indulge her fantasies when their father isn’t looking.

    1876 | Though he is often forgotten in the shuffle between all the strong personalities in his family, he leaves an impression on the Hogwarts staff, and is named prefect along with Xena at the beginning of his fifth year. He very nearly strangles Xena due to her smugness, however.

    1877 | Marlena marries, and Zee announces she shall never marry. Leo secretly hopes she doesn’t actually mean it, as he wants to see his favorite sister cared for, but he knows better than to voice his opposition. The responsibility that comes with being prefect has started to get to Leo, and he develops test anxiety.

    1878 | Nemo goes to Hogwarts. Marlena spawns. Leo officially loses track of all of his nieces and nephews.

    1879 | Leo’s hopes to become an auror are dashed when his test anxiety gets the better of him and he trolls his Potions NEWT. He sulks so hard he nearly misses Xena’s announcement of her intentions to marry up. Leo pities the fool who gets stuck with her. After a solid month or two of sulking, Leo finally takes a job as a Hit Wizard. To no one’s surprise, Zelda goes to Hogwarts and befriends a group of boys.

    1880 | Xena gets engaged.

    1881 | Xena’s engagement is broken when her fiance is revealed to be a werewolf. Leo does feel a little sorry for her, but her dramatic fits of self-pity get old after a while.

    1882 | Julian loses a leg, only adding to the dramatic torrent of woe in the Fisk household. Leo finds reasons to stay at work late and generally avoid his siblings.

    1884 | Delia dies, leaving Leo stricken with grief along with the rest of the family. He throws himself even deeper into his work.

    1885 | Julian goes and proposes to a stranger, and Leo rolls his eyes so hard they nearly fall out of his head.
    Personality:
    Loyal. Protective. Hardworking. Peacekeeper. Kind. Somewhat traditionalist.
