My favorite character's gonna DIE??????

Warning: Spoiler alert!!!

LEO VALDEZ.

BAD BOY SUPREME.

TEAM LEO.

Everybody that knows me often heard that name.

I mean of course, Leo Valdez are one out of three of my favorite characters.

He's my NO.1

My other half, I would say.

Because I lost Augustus Waters in The Fault in Our Star,

and John Hayden already die,

I just hope Leo doesn't die in the Heroes of Olympus.

This is Leo.

Looks like he's kinda fun and cheeky right?

Well, he is. I never expect that this characters exist in this kind adventurous series.

They're seven main character in this book;

Percy Jackson (duh!)

Annabeth Chase

LEO VALDEZ

Jason Grace

Piper Mclean

Hazel Levesque

Frank Zhang

Let's talk specifically on Leo.

In Jason point of view;

"Leo looked like a Latino Santa's elf, with curly black hair, pointy ears, a cheerful, babyish face and mischievous smile that told you right away this guy should not trusted around matches and sharp objects. His long, nimble fingers wouldn't stop moving - drumming on the set, sweeping his hair behind his ears, fiddling with the buttons of his army fatigue jacket. Either the kid was naturally hyper or he was hopped up on enough sugar and caffeine to give a heart attack to a water buffalo."

To me,

Leo is, in a word: FANTASTIC.

I fell in love with his character from the very first time he was mentioned and I have yet to meet a fan who

didn’t. Who wouldn’t love him? He’s so imperfectly perfect.

I love his epic powers and insane mechanical skills. I mean the guy built a freaking huge flying ship in six months! Not to mention his smaller projects like fixing Festus and inventing the holographic scroll. He’s pretty intelligent considering how he’s a math and tech whiz. And we can’t forget how he obliterated Khione with his kickass fire blasting powers.

And I like the fact that he isn’t depicted as this flawless guy who is tall and muscular and has gorgeous eyes and perfect hair. I love the way he speaks, how he throws in some Spanish along with the English, and his usage of slang creates a very distinct voice for him. It just fits his quirky personality.

He seems…real. Very real, as a matter of fact. Probably the most realistic character from all of them.

Even so, he keep remind himself that he is the seventh-wheel.

No. YOU'RE THE BEST LEO!!!

He found a dragon name Festus aka Jason called; 'Festus the happy dragon'

and the dragon died and Leo couldn't stop crying and I slowly die inside....

When he was a child, his mom died and he couldn't stop blaming himself.

His personality is complex, unlike the other demigods introduced in the Lost Hero. On the outside, he’s good – natured, easygoing, upbeat, energetic, and absolutely hilarious! He’s a great friend, and has the best interests for everyone at heart. But he also has a serious side which he shows when he is angry, or when the situation calls for it, or when he is working. And the fact that he feels guilty over his mother’s death and that he’s never truly had anyone there for him as a kid makes my heart ache for him.

We can see how develop he is in a character. Everybody think that he is funny, fun, crazy guy but deep inside he is the one who hurts the most.

Leo lost every single thing he had. There was no point in living anymore. He couldn't get a girl, either. Everything was over for him. But he had to go on a mission. He still doesn't have ANYONE to love. ANYONE. Even his friends love him, but they didn't show him. In fact, I always feel his feelings.

The series goes on like this, ending with Percy and Annabeth falling into Tartarus, leaving Leo's think that was his fault.

*cries in the corner*

And then everybody said that someone have to sacrifice him/herself in order to save their friend by closing the door of death and the fandom said Leo will sacrifice himself and there is an art;

Frank, Hazel, Piper, Jason, Annabeth and Percy crying.

Leo manage to smile before he close the door,

And he like trying making one last joke but he can't and he said 'Good bye' instead.

and...and he close it and built up his courage to be brave and make his mom proud.

I just hope that wouldn't happen.

Guys, I don't want Leo to die,

I couldn't bare losing my only favorite character left.

I just hope Hades help them or something. Come on! Percy saved your Olympus! At least help them saved your ass from Gaia. As the ruler of Underworld, help them please!!!

I effing legit cried when I scroll tumblr and read every possibility of Leo die in House of Hades that will publish in September.

If someone have to sacrifice, I will recommend Jason or Frank.

Because Jason is good for nothing. Jason always fainted and he's only good for flying.

Whether Leo or Piper that have to save his ass every five seconds!!

And he think highly of himself that wanna make me strangle him.

GO BACK TO YOUR ROMAN CAMP JASON!!!

Frank is nothing against me but he's really insecure.

This is worse than any other thing. I have read tons of series which my favorite characters die. But Leo? All HIS LIFE has been suffering. Give him a break.I know that this is just a foreshadow, we don’t really know what is gonna happen. Anything can happen. But these drawing just made me realize lot of things in life. It hit deep.

Overall, I love his character the best from all of the new characters in Heroes of Olympus, and I hope nothing bad happens to him in future books.

I really don't want to cry like I cried for Augustus Waters. If Leo die, I will cry worst because he already became the part of me.

I know that was stupid but bookworms will understand what I'm saying and feel.
