Better description! So basically, I see Leo as transfem and the "crush" on Karai was actually gender envy, so she wants to actually say it so Karai won't be as weird around her!
Also, when Leo comes out, I'm gonna write her as changing her name to Lia/Lee! Sorry for blabbing, let's go!

Lee POV:
I walked out of the dojo, tired from training and ran into Karai... Literally. "Oh, sorry Kara-" Before I could finish, she ran off in another direction. I sighed, already knowing why she'd ran away. It was because I used to have this wierd "crush" on her. Well, wasn't really a crush, it was more of me getting jealousy and attraction mixed up. Turns out, I just genuinely wanted to be like her physically. I want to be a girl. I've tried before to tell her, though she always walked the other way to ignore the once gross idea of a crush. I was about to go to the dojo again for meditation, but stopped myself. 'Today is the day.'

I chased after my older sister, though stealthily so she wouldn't run again. Once I finally got close enough, I grabbed her shoulder to finally make her pay attention to me. "Karai! Hey, I've been trying to talk to-" "No." My eyes opened wide with shock, not expecting and answer. "What?" "No. I don't feel this weird love thing you feel towards me. We're siblings! I mean, I'm flattered, sure, but-" "KARAI!" I shouted to finally make her listen, though she was still looking at me with slight disgust.

"Look, I don't like you that way. I never did! I got confused! I thought what I felt was attraction in a relationship way, but really... Really it was envy." I stepped back a little bit as I noticed my hand was still gripping her shoulder. She didn't say anything, so I continued consciously. "I was and still kind of am envious of you! Envious of your technique... And even more envious that you got to be born a girl and I wasn't." Then was the moment I finally looked her in the eyes, the moment I saw her truly see what the staring and the copying meant when I was around her.

"So... You're saying you're?..." I nodded, scared to see the reaction. "Oh... Oh! OH! Thank God! I-Im sorry about the whole... You know..." I chuckled and just reassured it was fine. Then, it got a little awkward. "So... Since you're trans, does that mean a new name?" "Yeah... I was thinking either Lia or Lee, you know? Something not to far off." She nodded and gave me a small smile, but not a selfish or fuck-off-or-else type smile. No, a true genuine smile. We started to walk back to the living room, talking about random stuff from fighting to gossip.

Once we sat down, I noticed she kept glancing to my mask. "Hey... You alright?" She shot her eyes back to mine and nodded. "What's up?" "Well, I was wondering if I could try something with your mask. Could I?" I just shrugged and moved to the ground, turning the tv to Space Heroes as she sat behind my head. I sloy leaned back as I curled my legs up to watch the space team fight against the evil alien empire. "So, what's going on? What'd you want to do so bad?" I felt her smile behind me and start to answer. "I had this idea. So, since your brother Mikey has his mask tails cut how he wants it, I was think I could style yours. If you don't like it, you can take it out though." I just smiled and slightly turned around to show her how thankful I was.

"Alright, alright... Turn back around! You're missing the captain dude fight shitty aliens." I just gasped and turned back, awe covering my face. I heard Karai laugh at the fast pace I turned. As the episode ended, so did this mask session. "Okay, I finished. Here, let me find something to see your reflection in." She got up and looked for a mirror while I waited and heard her yell 'aha!' as she found the object. She came running back, mirror in hand, as she looked at me proud. "I think it looks pretty nice, but what do you think?"


As I looked into the mirror, I instantly teared up with my eyes wide in shock. Karai had tied my mask into a big bow in the back and she even made sure it was easy to take out by myself. "So... I'm guessing you don't like it?" I glanced up at her then back to the mirror. "No! I just... I think it looks... Amazing."
(My gross art lol)

She smiled and grabbed the mirror from my hands, putting it onto the couch and grabbed some tissues

She smiled and grabbed the mirror from my hands, putting it onto the couch and grabbed some tissues. "Sorry for crying... It's just that... I didn't think I could actually look pretty." She scoffed and sat beside me on the floor. "Lee. You are a beautiful girl and a good sister. Just because your mask is up, doesn't mean you're not pretty when it's down!" I just sighed and hugged her, feeling her tense but soon warm into it. "Since we're doing this whole make-over thing... What to try some lip gloss or mascara?" I just looked up at her and felt my face break into a huge toothy smile.

As we went to my room, she grabbed a pouch of some of her makeup and started applying blush as we listened to music and talked. She let me try to put on lip gloss and do my own mascara which was scary, but did help. Once we finished up, I finally asked her the question that's been burned into my mind. "Do I look good?" She stopped putting up her makeup, looked me up and down, then smirked.

"You look beautiful."
