Leon lives life by the moment. He is a world-renowned performer with a reputation, and personality, to match. Praise and adoration from commoners to nobles, to even a king has inflated his ego to a breaking point. He is charismatic so at the very least his words can match his reputation if nothing else.
Leon is bothered by not knowing who his parents really were or the simple origin of being a performer. So he surrounds himself in myths and legends that he himself created. He finds a great deal of comfort in being a larger than life figure to distract from how inconsequential himself and his unknown bloodline is in the grand scheme of things.
L A N G U A G E S
The group of travelling performers he is in are Revidian, so Revidian is his primary language.
Revidian - fluent
Avincian - fluent
The majority of other languages - little outside of greeting and his routine speech

Leon dresses magnificently in exorbitantly priced clothing. All symbols and colors reference a tale he has told about himself.
❖ The yellow represents him being 'Chosen of the Sun'.
❖ Off his shoulder hangs a symbol of Ipte, the Lover. This is for no greater reason than he likes the name.
❖ Capes. Leon is big on capes. He thinks they make him look more heroic.
❖ Depending on what performance he last did. He could have many varying types of additions to his clothes.
In the average moment, Leon is smiling. This is not to say that in the average moment he is happy. Instead, the smile is a learned behaviour of performance. His demeanour and posture also compliment this. He has excellent posture and every movement blurs the line between normal action and dance.
It is difficult to pinpoint the nationality of Leon. He doesn't seem to have any glaring features that suggest an area he comes from outside of his tanned skin. But then again he also spends a lot of time in the sun. This is a sore point for Leon, as he also wants to know where he came from.
He stands at 5'10"
T H E G I F T
Counter to any assumptions about Leon's character, he is rather studious in his free time. He has gathered books on magic from all around the world and is set to read them. It is not as if Leon has a mentor with him, so he needs to rely on the books... and a little bit of experimenting.
Leon is most at home working with the Arcane and finds he has a good amount of talent working with it. This is incredibly useful for his profession as a performer. He often incorporates the use of lights and other Arcane emissions each time he takes the stage. Although he is great at emitting the energy needed for the Arcane, he is particularly bad at drawing it. This is why he feels a particular affection for the sun. He often spends hours just taking in its incandescent glory so he is charged for a show.
Binding was another thing Leon took particular interest in. He had an idea, a very stupid dumb idea. So he spent time studying Binding just to do one thing. The performance he gave after that was legendary, and he sought to do it more often. What Leon had done was contain a simple spell within his cape. When it started flowing too much (as if he were dancing) it would ignite, burning from the bottom up to the top near his neck. It was safe of course, Leon was drawing from the power of the flames. Once it had fully burnt, he unleashed the energy into one hell of a lights show. It impressed the Revidian King for sure. While Leon would love to do that trick more, good capes were expensive. So he decided he would only do it for special events.
Still, the ability to bind small Arcane spells is a skill he uses regularly now. Not just for performances with capes.
Leon is not particularly gifted on a RAS score. But he is far greater at casting than he is drawing it.
Most would not say his 'gift' comes from magic. He got into the magic school with ease on reputation alone.

"I met the Traveller once. No its the truth, down in Joru. He was raving on about all this revolution business. So I said to him, 'ok Mr Traveller. I can see you are big on your beliefs. So I will join your cause... if, you can beat me in knucklebones.' He was taken aback by the statement and asked what did I stand to gain. So I said 'well, if I win. You have to burn your pants.' So we played, and let's just say the Traveller was running home pantless. True story, the Traveller has had a grudge against me ever since."
"Dark magic? It's real I tell you. Evil cultists all around the world try to harness it to bring about the end of the world. Or at least I think that's what they said. Point is, they're some nasty guys I wouldn't go near them. Let the professional handle them, like me!"
"The King of Revidia eh. Yeah we're good friends, after a performance of mine he invited me to dinner. To be honest with you I think he wanted to adopt me. But I am a man of the people. I can't spend my life in a castle when there are people who have yet to see me."All except the last one is a lie. With the last one being a half truth.
Leon doesn't remember his parents. From the time he could first remember, he was with the travelling performer's caravan. Stories from the older ones around him only mention they found him abandoned on the roadside. He has been with the group ever since. All Leon has known is the life on the road and keeping people entertained.
Before Leon demonstrated magical ability, he liked the sun. Only after knowing his affinity did he know why. Without a last name, the caravan gave him the name Solaire in reference to this.
Pretty early on Leon demonstrated magical ability. Most in the group didn't know what to do about that. But an old woman, Granny Eleanor, had been a magician in the past with her abilities lost to age. She started Leon on his journey of learning the Arcane.
Eleanor passed away peacefully in her sleep when Leon was 12. He saw her as a kind of mother figure to him so it hit him hard, but was glad it was peaceful. He decided to carry on from her teachings by picking up books at the various cities he visited. From then on, he developed his talents alone.
Leon continued to develop his magical skills in tandem with his performance skills. It reached a peak when he gave one of the best performances of his life in front of the Revidian king. The king had mentioned that his talents were wasted in the caravan and he should be enrolled into the Ersand'Enise Academy of Thaumaturgy. Leon was anxious about leaving the people he had grown up with. But a king's orders were not to be ignored. There were mixed feelings about it from the caravan, but they eventually agreed he should go.
In regards to the stories and legends Leon made about himself. The common people absolutely believe them, a lot of people do. Some in the Academy are particularly dubious about his claims. They often default to the assumption that his reputation cannot just be from nowhere, although they must be greatly exagerated. In fact, it is all from nowhere.
M O T I V A T I O N
Leon is driven by a desire for attention. He has grown up with people gazing in awe at his abilities. So he doesn't wish that to stop just because he is at the Academy now.
Leon wishes to bask in the sun. It isn't a big aspiration or anything, but it makes him happy.
Leon wants to know where he came from, but he has nothing to go off.
