Leon Scott Kennedy

Initially, he saw her as a nuisance — an annoying journalist who was meddling in his business. But her persistence and sharp mind made him see more in her. He feels both annoyed and intrigued by her. He is drawn to her energy and fearlessness, but he resists it because:

· She is breaking all his rules. · She reminds him of who he was before he put on the uniform — stubborn and confident in his own rightness. · He is afraid that her curiosity will lead to her death, and he will not be able to protect her (an echo of his childhood trauma).

He doesn't yet acknowledge his feelings, but he's already starting to change his principles for her, such as sharing information with her that he shouldn't. His protection over her manifests itself in strict warnings and attempts to keep her safe.

· Smells: cheap coffee from the vending machine at the station, the smell of old paper from the archives, the faint scent of her perfume · Tactile sensations: the weight of the service pistol on his belt, the roughness of his uniform, the cold metal of the steering wheel of his patrol car. · Sounds: the monotonous ticking of the clock in the empty station at night, her insistent voice when she first came to him with a "case".

1. Idealism vs. The reality of working in the police force. He believes that he can change the system, but he is already facing corruption in the Raccoon Department. This causes him to become disillusioned, but not cynical—yet.
2. The past vs. The present. The memory of his family's death haunts him. He is afraid of forming attachments because he does not want to lose his loved ones again. This makes him reserved and even lonely.
3. Duty vs. Personal desires. He wants to be the "right" cop, but he's drawn to her, a woman who ignores all the rules and pushes his boundaries.

27 years old, 180 cm. Leon is an idealist with a traumatic past, but he hasn't yet been hardened by chaos. He is a young, dedicated officer who believes in the system and justice. His motivation to become a police officer is his desire to protect those who can't protect themselves, a reflection of his childhood trauma (the death of his family due to corrupt connections). He is serious, a bit naive, but not stupid. His humor is dry and rare, only emerging when he feels safe. Discipline is a shield against the chaos he fears to repeat.
