When asked where he would go if he could use flight magic to travel to anywhere Leona responds that he would like to fly to a first-class hotel where in a remote place that is hard to get to, a place most people never think to go, where he could do as he pleases: “Eat when I’m hungry, take a bath whenever I feel like it…surround myself with peace and quiet. With no one botherin’ me for stuff, I could finally get some decent sleep.”
When asked how he would endure being on a deserted island Leona says two or three days would be nothing as long as he had a little water, but also that he had been camping before Vargas Camp: “You do remember I’m royalty, right? That’s as far from roughin’ it as it gets.”
Other characters will sometimes comment on having forgotten that Leona is an actual prince, with Azul saying, “Leona looks rather majestic dressed like that. Almost princely, even… Ah, silly me. He IS a prince” during NBC, Ruggie saying, “Leona looked almost princely in his fairy getup…wait, duh. He IS a prince” during Fairy Gala, and Jade teasing him with, “Why, it’s almost as though you’re some sort of highborn prince.”
Leona is the first marriage candidate rejected by Eliza during the Phantom Bride event for failing to join her when she suddenly begins to sing: “A princess was singing right in front of you, and you wouldn’t even join her for a duet! You’re no prince at all!” (Jack: “and Leona’s the only actual prince in our group…”)
We get occasional reminders of Leona’s unfamiliarity with certain things due to his upbringing: while he might be the most technologically-adept sports club member he uses a microwave for the first time in his life during Master Chef, and it does not go well.
Leona says, “I have chefs serve me warm meals every day, at home and here at school. That’s the life I’ve lived. Is it that hard to imagine someone who’s never had occasion to use a microwave?”
The chef compliments Leona’s performance (outside of microwave usage) and quick learning and Leona responds, “I wouldn’t want to squander this chance. I’d like to spend the rest of the class focusing on learning how to use the microwave.”
According to Ruggie, Leona also once mistook a picture of Ruggie’s home for a doghouse (Leona: “Did I…really do that?”), saying that he wishes his prospective was just as warped from a life of luxury, but Leona says he is practically a commoner himself.
Other hints we have received about Leona’s life at the palace is his having outfits custom-tailored, having yogurt included in his breakfasts by chefs, receiving VIP invitations to NRC’s spelldrive tournaments and receiving visitors for New Year.
Kalim says he talked to Leona about how fun it is, but, Kalim says, “he just made a face for some reason.”
Leona says, “The wealthy families of the Scalding Sands are way richer than royalty in other lands. If you wanna butter someone up, Kalim’s your best bet, not me,” but Leona does seem accustomed enough to having money, purchasing a 45,000 madol (450 thaumark) blanket for himself during New Year’s (“I’m gettin’ it ’cause I think it’s worth it, not because it’s expensive. I’m not into throwin’ money away like that”), and not knowing how much his Vargas Camp outfit costs because he just buys what he likes: “All that matters is it looks decent on me.”
When Ruggie scolds Leona for keeping his valuables out in the open Leona responds, “So what if my stuff gets stolen, anyway? It’s no big deal,” but this might not be entirely true, or at least not for his necklaces: Leona does not let Ruggie steal a necklace that he drops during Vargas Camp, asking for it back, and when Ruggie accidentally loses another of Leona’s necklaces Leona seeks him out specifically to ask about it (Ruggie: “You never care about any of your jewelry, so why NOW of all times…?”)
In order to protect Ruggie, Jack lies to Leona about having been asked to polish the inlaid jewels.
Leona says that his birthday party at NRC is “pretty meager compared to the parties (his) family throws,” but he appreciates how casual it is.
Leona does not seem to be fond of parties/social gatherings, saying, “I wouldn’t go to some stupid social even if you begged me” about the Glorious Masquerade event, initially refusing a party for a portrait in a vignette, saying he “hates formal junk” on the subject of the opening ceremonies and saying outright during Fairy Gala that he hates things like “capricious parties and festivals.”
Leona seems to dislike tradition, which is something he has in common with both Jamil and Idia.
