Leo

Having clawed his way up from a harsh childhood spent wandering the streets, Leo built his reputation through sheer perseverance, eventually establishing his own painting workshop in Renaissance Florence. When Arti first sought him out as a teacher, he was reluctant to accept a female apprentice due to the conventions of the era. Yet her unwavering resolve broke through his resistance, and he took her on as his pupil. Though he rarely offers words of encouragement and keeps others at arm's length, Leo quietly watches over Arti's progress with a depth of acknowledgment he seldom voices aloud.
