For this idea, I wanted to wait until it was time for me to publish it and surprise you, but I couldn't resist waiting so I went and made this artwork, do keep in mind, this might be a a spoiler for my Empire Story so please don't be mad at me.
For this idea and for my Empires story, I wanted to make Leo a wendigo creature that's based on the Warden from Minecraft, let's go over it shall we?
Leo is known as Wendigo creature that dwells in the darkest parts of the Moonstone Mountains, he doesn't have a mouth so it's impossible for him to eat, has very poor vision and is extremely sensitive to sound, his rib cage is exposed and he has claws for arms and legs, he also had a power called shadow bending, a power that lets Leo manipulate the shadows of people and other things to do his bidding.
One day, Leo was captured by slave trade owners who tortured him physically and daily for their own amusement, until someone could come and take him away. Since then, Leo has had a fear of humans and would spend all day in his cage crying, even though he doesn't have a mouth.
One day, he was going to be the slave of Flash Sentry, the adopted son of Oroku Saki, leader of the Foot Clan, he was also gonna be the servant of Adagio Dazzle, and they had bad intentions in store for Leo.
But Leo was rescued by Twilight Sparkle, the ruler of the Moonstone Mountains, she fought off against Flash and Adagio so that she could prevent them from hurting Leo, so Spike, Twilight's assistant, used one of his claws to free Leo from his chains and his cage and went off freely.
But before Flash and Adagio could win against Twilight by doing a sneak attack, Leo jumped in front and Saved her, causing some of his ribs to be broken and be severely injured.
When Twilight took him to the Moonstone Mountains to be healed, she gave Leo a special lotion that was made of Moonstone Orchids, a rare plant that's found in the caves of the Moonstone Mountains.
As soon as Twilight gave Leo the lotion on his wounds, Leo began to feel a little sting as the lotion was a bit strong, then, something big happened.
The lotion not only healed his ribs, but it also gave him human like skin, his hands were almost human like, his ribs were no longer exposed, and most of all, his vision was clear and he now had a nose and a mouth.
Twilight feared that she might've hurt him, but instead, Leo geared up with joy, gave her a hug and said his first words: thank you...in a sad yet happy voice.
