Leo: The Sun King
A proud ruler accused of stealing the crown he was sworn to protect.
The visible throne
Leo governs from the Solar Palace, a city designed so every public chamber is open to daylight. The architecture reflects the kingdom's ideal: power should be visible and leaders should stand where citizens can see them. That ideal becomes painful when Leo hides the crown's warning and gives his enemies a reason to doubt him.
The power of presence
Leo shapes sunlight into shields, blades, and beacons visible across kingdom borders. His magic becomes strongest when he inspires genuine courage in others, not when he commands obedience. Pride is both engine and weakness. It gives him the confidence to face impossible odds, but makes confession feel like surrender.
Place in the Zodiac War
As the first suspect in the crown's disappearance, Leo must defend his people without using the throne to silence his accusers. His path is a test of earned trust. The heroism he needs is quieter than battle: reveal mistakes, share authority, and accept that a king may lead best by allowing others to question him.
