Name: Leonardo Westerian
Nickname: Leo
Age: 18
Why your taking the trip of a lifetime: He just wants to have fun with the others and to make a lot of memories. Though, it seems that he also wants to take a bunch of pictures for his photography blog.
Personality: To a lot of people, Leo's an outgoing and fun-loving person. He is often referred to as a ball of energy. He doesn't seem to let anything get him down - even the reality of the world, which he is completely aware of, isn't enough to bring him down. He's quick to bounce back from sadness, should it come to that, and continue to be his cheerful and optimistic self. He's willing to try a lot of new things if it sounds fun but his interest doesn't stick too easily. Aside from photography, he has no other hobbies to turn to.
He seems to have a need to constantly have someone by his side as he finds himself feeling lonely only after a short while away from any contact with others. He easily gets lonely, and when he gets lonely, that's when he gets depressed. He also finds talking about his problems very difficult as he doesn't want anyone to know that he has problems. To him, he feels like it is a responsibility to be a beacon of positive energy for other people.
Backstory: Leo was born to a father who is an oil tycoon and a mother who is a contractor. He also has an older brother named Lester whom he was once very close to. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Anything he wanted, he could get. They were rich after all. That's why he was able to look back at his childhood very fondly. He had caring parents and a good older brother. Of course, all good things must come to an end. When Lester had failed to meet their father's expectations of him taking on the family business, heated arguments ensued every night at dinner. His mother tried to quell the heat as long as she can but they would always end up parting ways before anyone could finish properly. Lester had also fallen to drug abuse which only furthered their father's anger for him. Lester was soon put in jail but his father refused to bail him out.
In the span of this time, Leo couldn't open up to his parents that he also didn't want to be a businessman or anything like that. He wanted to try his hand at professional photography or maybe even medicine! But he would end up like Lester so he kept photography as only a hobby and promised his parents, mostly to his father really, that he would take up business management. At the start of high school, he had started up a blog that was just filled with photos of the places he went to, which was a lot considering his family often went out, and it garnered quite a bit of followers. He now diligently posts new photos every time he goes to someplace interesting.
