what are your rookie Leon headcanons, post re4 Leon headcanons and any fav recent brainrot headcanons? 😌❤️

AHHHHH!!

I'll be honest I haven't really solidified my thoughts on rookie Leon because I'm still trying to figure out his motivation for becoming a cop! I see Leon as more of a theatre kid in high school, so the jump from the arts to law enforcement seems like a big one. Part of me wants to say he saw some injustice happening while he was young and felt helpless to stop it, maybe even trying to rely on the law enforcement available to him with no success, and vowing to grow up and do better. Part of me also headcanons that Leon had a rough time growing up in the 80s-90s Midwest as an androgynous queer kid (though he would never label himself as such), and had to learn really fast how to defend himself and fight back. Law enforcement seems like a hyper-masculine career, and maybe he was influenced by others to join up!

Regardless, we all know Mr. Leon Scott Kennedy was top of his class and excelled in all his coursework. I don't know that he made many friends while in training, again because he's that one pretty boy everyone hates because he's 1) pretty in a hyper-masculine environment and 2) incredibly good at what he does, but I do think senior officers liked and appreciated him! After graduation, he was super excited to get the job offer at Raccoon City! It was finally going to be his chance to really help people and prove everyone wrong... He still thinks about how naive he was.
