Forever Team Leo!

Leo Valdez is the funniest and coolest character of The Heroes Of Olympus series by Rick Riordan.
There, I said it! No doubt many of you will read this and shake your head with disapproval, but I’m sure there will also be many who completely support me.
So here’s a brief about Leo.
He’s the son of Greek God Hephaestus. His mother was Esperanza Valdez and she died in a fire started by Leo himself in a panic as he tried to save his mother from Gaia, the evil Earth goddess.
Leo has the power of inducing fire in his hands. He is also completely immune to heat. He is awesome at mechanics and making ‘inorganic' objects work.
He is one of the seven heroes chosen on the quest to stop Gaia, and the counsellor of Hephaestus cabin at Camp Halfblood. Apart from that, what can I say… he is just awesome!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians was an amazing series and Percy was an amazing hero, but just as popular and maybe even more is Leo, for being a hero without even meaning to. He is not brainy, he is not muscular, he is not even confident. Yet he is loyal, brave and what’s best - humorous.
Leo can lighten up any situation. He can make his friends feel at ease. He is innocent, yet devilish. His brain is hard-wired into thinking up solutions to problems at the last possible minute and that’s what makes him good to have around in a life-threatening situation.
But that’s not all. There’s just something special about him that makes the readers turn pages until they find out how many more chapters there are before Leo’s viewpoint comes up.
( Uh… I don’t really know who else does that except me, but I’m figuring most people would be waiting eagerly for his chapters ).
Percy, of course, has been my favourite and probably will remain so but Leo has a special spot on my favourite-heroes list, completely apart from the others!
After all, no other Greek demigod is crazy enough to be called Leo-crazy!
