That’s why, when people call Leonardo a brown-noser, I say they don’t understand who he is, or what it means to feel responsible for your siblings. Leonardo is like Kobe: the first one in the dojo and the last one to leave. When nobody else has a plan, Leo always has one. Always. You can’t just look at him giving orders. Leo is also the rear guard. When a building is collapsing, or the team has to retreat, he’s the one watching their backs, covering their escape, and making sure everybody gets home. In battle, Leo has to control Raph’s rage, keep Mikey focused, and stop Donatello from overthinking, so he can keep his head in the fight. And several times, Leo has taken a beating to protect his brothers. I’m the eldest brother in my family, and I worry about everybody all the time. I can only imagine how stressed Leo is carrying that responsibility every single day.
