|Grade|
High School Senior
|Physical Description|
The first thing you would notice about Henri is the dreadlocks. He only has them because they're easy to manage. His second most notable feature is the belt with the voodoo dolls. The dolls hang from his belt on varying lengths of chains. Each one is different and has its own story. The dreadlocks and voodoo dolls combined with his six-foot-four stature and muscular build make him quite a menacing sight. His usual expression is one of apathy and he has a habit of tilting his head back and literally looking down at people, thought it's just a habit and he doesn't mean anything by it.
Henri almost always has a cigarette or a pipe in his mouth, even while drinking and eating. Both his ears are pierced and he often mixes and matches different earings from his extensive collection. He dresses casually. Shorts, t-shirt or tank top, and sandals in summer and spring. Add a hoodie for his autumn attire. He's quite oblivious to the cold, so unless it's freezing outside, he'll just have a light jacket and sweatpants over his underclothes and steel-toed boots to keep his feet cozy in the winter.
As his alter-ego, the Leopard Doctor, he paints his face white with leopard spots and dark circles around his eyes. He also dons a crown of weaved branches and feathers and carries a ceremonial knife at his belt.
|I can...|
...get on anyone's nerves, smoke five boxes of cigarettes in one day, make your acne a hundred times worse than whatever terrible state it's already in, give you cancer, be charming when I want to be, forgive but not forget
|But I can't...|
...remember your first name, be nice to a guy for too long, commit to a relationship, tell a convincing lie when I really need to, get my school work done, draw anything except for stick figures
|Personality|
Henri is a lazy, rude, and brutally honest show off. He is playful around close friends, but distant from everyone else. He can also be cunning and sly to get his way. School work? That can go die in a ditch. Although Henri doesn't do his work, he still attends class and actually likes learning. In particular, he enjoys reading novels and discussing the use of language to make the story come alive. However, he despises being taught. Thus, he despises teachers. Really, any kind of authority makes him mad... unless the authority is a really hot girl.
Henri is one hell of a ladies' man. He can be quite charming and most girls fall for him after only a few silver words laced with his one-of-a-kind accent. He likes girls around his age and also older women. With his street connections, he can get almost anything he wants, and that proves helpful when trying to woo the ladies. When he courts someone, he becomes her protector and won't let anyone say anything bad about her. The only problem is that he can't commit to one relationship at a time. Once one person finds out he's seeing about eight other girls at the same time, things get messy and Henri gets dumped.
But that doesn't bother him at all. Henri brushes those incidents off like they never happened. Actually, he does that with most bad situations. He lives in the moment and doesn't have a future planned out. For now, he's just cruising along on the river of life, trying to find a nice port to settle into.
|I like...|
...smoking, cute little kittens, hot chicks, peach juice, milk and honey, playing basketball and soccer
|But I don't like...|
...lasagna, ugly cats, coffee, bossy people, most other males, video games
|Crush|
No one...yet
|History|
Henri’s mother, Adele Laveau, is from Louisiana and his father, Sean Leppards, is half French, half Irish. They are both Witch Vampires who don't really come across as vampires, even to the vampire community. In a way, they are misfits and they fell in love with each other for that. They strive to be themselves and they always emphasize the same thing to their only child.
Henri was born in Louisiana, but after a year, his parents sent him to his grandparents in Ireland since they were too poor to support a family. When he turned ten, his parents brought him back to New Orleans. He never lost his Irish accent, but he also picked up a Louisiana accent, so now they’ve blended together into something quite unique. Henri likes to call is Louish, just because it’s tiring to have to explain it all the time.
Henri had always been a troublemaker, but the switch from Ireland to Louisiana was a huge shock for him. He began hanging out in gangs and picked up a severe smoking habit. His parents were too busy trying to scrape up enough money for living expenses, so Henri could basically do whatever he wanted. Six days after his fourteenth birthday, his parents finally decided to move to Iowa where Henri could have a good education at the University of Diversity.
Once in Iowa, Henri immediately took the streets and began claiming territory. He made many, many connections in the underground world and uses them to his advantage. He has a few loyal followers who keep things organized. He makes money from curing 'incurable' diseases and was soon known by the name, Leopard Doctor. The name is well-respected on the streets and you can be treated to a feast if you can prove that you work for the Leopard Doctor.
|Opinions|
✰ Everest Leppards - "I need Evs an' Evs needs me." Everest is somewhat like a big brother to Henri. They're best buddies, but also family. If Henri has any issues, he immediately consults Everest before anyone else. If Henri is in a bad mood, Everest will lay at his feet and hum a soothing tune, which always manages to calm down his master. The two of them constantly exchange opinions and private jokes with each other. Often, they will cuddle and fuss over cute kittens together.
Other Vampires:
✰ Lilith Báthory - "Báthory? Yeah, she's lovely. Jus' lovely." It started out as some typical flirting from Henri. When Lilith simply walked away from his attempts, blushing profusely, he found the reaction utterly adorable and decided to pursue the silver-haired beauty. Over time, with his constant nagging, the two became good friends, though they do disagree occasionally. Henri thinks of Lilith as someone to relax and be free around, and enjoys stroking her soft hair.
✰ Edmund Malkin - "Don' talk ta me 'bout that sonuva--I ain't finishin' that." The two just don't get along. Their rather hostile rivalry began when the two were assigned to the same class project. Of course, Henri didn't do any of the work, but Edmund had the nerve to confront him about it. This started a heated argument which resulted in a persisting, passionate dislike for one another. Although their masters constantly argue, Everest and Malphas get along fine and enjoy watching the two bicker.

✰ Morpheo Oneiro - "If I ran a circus of freaks, he'd be the opening act. Creep gives me the chills."

|Other|
Henri's familiar is a large snow leopard by the name of Everest Leppards (Henri calls him Evs). He’s calm and sophisticated and keeps Henri in check. Kind of. Most of the time, Everest lets him do whatever he wants, but if Henri is about to do something really crazy, then he’ll stop him at all costs. He really cares for Henri. But usually, he’s just chill.
Henri and Everest both adore cute little kittens. They will completely lose their composure around them. Don't let your kittens near those two! They will gawk at your innocent kittens and talk in baby voices and do all sorts of embarrassing things that they will later regret!

All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves in all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down
Just paint the picture of a perfect place
They got it better than what anyone's told you
They'll be the King of Hearts, and you're the Queen of Spades
Then we'll fight for you like we were your soldiers
I know we've got it good
But they got it made
And the grass is getting greener each day
I know things are looking up
But soon they'll take us down,
before anybody's knowing our name.
They got all the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
We've got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
Do you think I'm special?
Do you think I'm nice?
Am I bright enough to shine in your spaces?
Between the noise you hear
And the sound you like
Are we just sinking in an ocean of faces?
It can be possible that rain can fall,
Only when it's over our heads
The sun is shining everyday, but it's far away
Over the world is death.
They got,
They got,
All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
They got, all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
It don't matter what you see.
I know I could never be
Someone that'll look like you.
It don't matter what you say,
I know I could never face
someone that could sound like you.
All the right friends in all the wrong places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves and all the wrong faces
So yeah, we're going down
All the right friends in all the right places
So yeah, we're going down
They got all the right moves and all the right faces
So yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down
They said, everybody knows, everybody knows where we're going
Yeah, we're going down.
Yeah, we're going down.
Yeah, we're going down.
(All the right moves, hey)
Yeah, we're going down
(All the right moves, hey)
Yeah, we're going down
