He bears some resemblance to Tetsuya Nomura's original design for Squall Leonhart, sporting long, brown hair as opposed to the short hair he had in his original game. Leon retains the black gloves, black, zipper-lined shoes, a silver {{ff|Griever}} necklace, and a white undershirt that his ''Final Fantasy VIII'' incarnation had, and his short, black jacket is similar. Leon's jacket, however, lacks the fur collar, is short-sleeved, whereas Squall's sleeves were quite baggy, bears red wings on the back, presumably similar to {{ff|Rinoa Heartilly|Rinoa}}'s duster, and has a red Griever symbol on each shoulder. | ||
Leon wears three brown belts on his left forearm and has three buckles on his right thigh, while he wore three black belts on his left thigh in ''Final Fantasy VIII''. Leon's black pants also sport a vertical zipper going down the side of each leg. Leon wears two brown belts and two black ones around his hips, all of which are quite loose except for one, a black one worn properly around his waist. In ''Final Fantasy VIII'', he only wore two brown belts. His eyes are blue and he bears his distinctive scar, which runs diagonally across the bridge of his nose. | Leon wears three brown belts on his left forearm and has three buckles on his right thigh, while he wore three black belts on his left thigh in ''Final Fantasy VIII''.

Leon originated as | Leon originated as {{ff|Squall Leonhart}}, the main protagonist in ''Final Fantasy VIII''. He is studying to become a full-fledged member of the mercenary force known as {{ff|SeeD}}, and specializes in the Gunblade, one of only two current cadets to do so. Ordinarily introverted to the point of seeming rude to others, he is forced to take a role of leadership as the world moves toward conflict, similar to his taking on leadership of the ''Final Fantasy'' characters in ''Kingdom Hearts'' after the fall of Radiant Garden. His scar still remains slashed across his face just as it did in ''Final Fantasy VIII'', but he is unaware of [[Seifer]] in [[Twilight Town]]. | ||

Leon, along with Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Yuffie, and Cid were originally set to appear in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. They were ultimately removed from the game because, according to Nomura, there were already too many plot lines, and it would have become confusing.{{fact}} | Leon, along with Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Yuffie, and Cid were originally set to appear in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''.
