I love the fact Leo is the leader in the zodiacs. I can hear Aries's jealousy from a far. Also, he reminds me of Loke from Fairy Tail who is also the leader of the Zodiacs.
But Leo is more interesting than Loke
It's funny because Leo was always going to be one of the main two characters and it's mostly because he was inspired by my grandmother, who is a Leo. She's very family oriented and the head of the family. However, it wasn't until I watched fairy tail that it dawned on me that I never considered the fact that there should be a leader for the zodiacs as it's a team. Since Leo was already one of the main two characters I made him the leader + of what happens in the story that fit better.
Initially, however, before I made this choice Aries was the leader but due to me doing more research and realizing how erratic Aries's personality was it didn't seem like a good idea to have him as a leader also the fact that Zeus would do everything in his power to get him to not be the leader of the zodiac, most for personal reasons.
So, in that aspect, his position was inspired by Loke, but they are completely different character-wise and even personality-wise.
Aries and Leo while they are best friends they are complete opposites, but this is like any relationship really, in the beginning, you guys can be similar but over time can change because lives can be different, but that doesn't mean you stop being their friend. However, that also doesn't mean resentment or other feelings cant grow as well.
Aries is more prone to being hot-headed and angry, nor does he actually think stuff through, impulsive. Aries enjoy killing and fighting, for Leo it's more of an instinctual thing as he is technically a Lion and those deep-rooted animalistic behaviors show. He can also be silly, exaggerate things, and be dimwitted. He basically has two brain cells and they're fighting each other. Leo on the other hand if it has nothing to do with Herakles he's very tactical, organized, and can read the room. He's a lot more patient than Aries but when he does get angry it's much harder to calm him down than Aries. Leo is very much the fatherly figure type while Aries is along the lines of a dad who tries to be your friend. All in all, they're a giant gap of maturity between the two Leo was quicker at making the gap bigger. Aries's jealousy isn't necessarily due to Leo himself bec he also has feelings of jealousy toward his sister, Athena. He's constantly told she's better than him. Well, if I were in his shoes I would also be jealous or angry, being compared to others constantly isn't a good feeling.
