Leona Insulted

Jack calls Leona “lazy” and “irritable,” laughing out loud when Leona tells him about his responsibility of teaching rules, best practices and etiquette to others back home. When it is revealed that Leona did not get into any trouble with Azul over study guides Jack says, “I figured you’d go for the easiest out of you could get, Leona… Ah, no offense, of course.”

Jack also compliments Riddle by comparing him favorably to Leona, calling Leona a coward and saying Riddle “isn’t scared of puttin’ in some effort to get ahead. Again, unlike you-know-who.”

Ruggie mocks Leona regularly, buying cat food for Lucius while saying “I just thought maybe it’d be a good present for you,” saying he is ashamed to be in the same dorm as Leona during Fairy Gala, and downplaying Leona’s efforts during the event.

Ruggie also calls Leona a “silver-spoon” type, a pampered prince unable to tie his own shoes, and says Kalim’s diligence and motivation is what sets him apart from Leona.

Azul calls Leona “a lazy lion at heart” who doesn’t believe in sticking his neck out for others and a poor excuse for nobility.

Jade mocks Leona during the NBC event with, “it’s almost as though you’re some sort of highborn prince.”

Floyd tells Leona he would be better as bait during Spectral Soiree due to how he never does anything, and when Leona asks if he acts similar to the ghost-possessed Idia, Floyd responds, “He’s like your clone.”

Kalim is indirectly rude to Leona during Fairy Gala, announcing before their performance, “We’ll give this everything we have so it won’t matter if Leona messes up!,” while Jamil’s insults are more overt: he says, “I question if the two of us are good enough to cover how bad Leona is” prior to their performance and afterwards tells him, “Nobody would guess you just barely learned how to walk properly on two legs.”

At the conclusion of the event Leona asks, “Is that how you talk about someone who saved your tails?,” and Jamil responds, “Are you sure that wasn’t just you doing your normal thing?”

Jamil insults Leona repeatedly during Book 6, saying that their failed passcode of “dour lion” was “so spot on” (Leona: “Everyone’s a comedian, huh?”), and teasing him about Vil and Idia mocking him for playing a video game popular with housecats.

When Sally compliments Leona for being well-mannered Jamil replies, “Are we talking about the same person?”

Idia describes Leona as “as docile as an angry lawnmower.” At the end of Leona’s dream of Book 7 he quietly says, “Now I’m genuinely curious what kind of upbringing it would take for someone to grow up that arrogant,” in reference to Leona, and says to his face later on that maybe he should act his age: “ever thought of that? Spare us the spoiled second prince act during a genuine emergency.”

When Idia comes across Leona in the woods behind the school he whispers to himself about how Leona is “just skipping out” on his dorm duties, saying he hates Savanaclaw students for being “just a bunch of hooligans.”

Malleus suggests Leona be “laid out in the sun to dry, along with (his) books” at the start of the NBC event.

During some back-and-forth with Leona he says, “Wild beasts certainly like the sound of their own howling” and talks about smoothing down Leona’s ears and removing his claws.

In addition to insulting Leona to the point of overblotting, when Lilia hears about Leona teaching “best practices” for guarding king and country to others, Lilia laughs aloud.

Grim is often insulting Leona, mocking him during Fairy Gala, calling him “a putz who’s already gotten held back a year” while Leona is actively helping him craft a potion and saying, “You ain’t gonna get anywhere tryin’ to put Leona in the same sentence as ‘proper’ or ‘gentleman,’ myahaha,” while right in front of him.

Grim tells Leona he is “the LAST person (he)’d ask” to teach things like rules and etiquette, and calls him “the most useless” member of the Cloudcalling tournament group.

Crewel also insults Leona during Fairy Gala, but Vil might insult him more regularly than any other character: he scolds Leona for walking “like some kind of ruffian,” says he has none of Kalim’s class and says his title of “prince” must be a mistake that must actually be “egg,” in a kanji-based joke.

Vil also teases Leona about playing a game popular with housecats (Jamil: “I don’t think Ortho meant anything by it, but these guys…They close in like sharks smelling blood in the water.”), calls him a “scheming slacker,” asks if he is “under some sort of curse that obliges him to be snide every time he opens his mouth?,” and says to his face, “Shows of arrogance from you are nothing new.”

When discussing Malleus’ failure to attend Housewarden meetings Vil turns the conversation onto Leona, saying, “This from the guy who sleeps till just before the meeting and needs someone to literally drag him out of bed,” and when Leona excuses himself abruptly from the school’s Halloween party Vil tells their guests, “Don’t let him bother you. You’ll find the rest of the student body aside from him quite gracious and well-mannered.”

Met with rude members of Savanaclaw Vil’s first response is to insult Leona, although he is not in the scene, saying, “Your handler is utterly incompetent.”

In an attempt to goad Leona into playing a game during New Year’s, Vil tells Jack he has the spirit of a fighter “unlike a certain housewarden who shall remain nameless,” and “if you’re so loath to lose, then I’ll not force you to play.”

In a vignette Vil asks Leona, “Do I rightly assume that as a prince, you’ve been taught that an inability to attend to yourself is somehow acceptable?,” calls him “little more than a fine prop to decorate (his) stage,” calls him ”repugnant,” and says the only thing he has going for him is his handsome face: “This is why I hate spoiled princelings!”

A running theme of the Cloudcalling event is Vil insulting Leona, oftentimes apropos of nothing: Vil laughs aloud when told about Leona’s responsibility of teaching rules to others, and when Leona is arguing with Kifaji over Kalim’s participating Vil offers running commentary about being “moved to tears” and Leona showing concern for Jack.

Upon their arrival in the city Vil tells Leona, “You might at least shut your mouth and not spoil the sights for the rest of us.”

When Leona is in a conversation with Grim about purchasing a hammock as a souvenir Vil comes in from the side to add, “No doubt inspired by your own penchant for naps.”

When deciding who will sit where in Leona’s car Vil says, “I wouldn’t sit up front if you paid me. I just want to enjoy the savanna scenery out the window. Having you next to me would spoil the view” (Leona: “I didn’t even ask you”).

When Leona takes off the cloak of his Lion Garb outfit for the first time Vill comments, “A shame it’s just for show, like everything with you.”

Vil also calls Leona lazy, and when Lilia comments on him being unromantic Vil follows with, “That’s Leona for you.”

When Leona reveals that the largest seat at the tournament is reserved for himself Vil says, “Rather takes the wind out of my sails,” and when it is revealed he is to be also watching the parade rather than participating Vil follows with, “Somehow even less wind in my sails now.”
