Adult guardian leos are elegant creatures. Their golden coat gives them a sophisticated air, resembling well-sculpted statues. A male's mane is as mighty as the creature itself, while the females often wear beautiful blue jewelry around their necks. They are ferocious as they are beautiful, few daring to approach the people these leos guard. They have distinguishing personalities, some being more playful or serious than others, but all leos share the fierce loyalty they feel for their magis. To some extent, the guardian leo adults act like their younger, foolish selves. They are just as affectionate and curious, on many occasions insisting on sleeping in the same bed as their magi. No matter where a leo is, the blue orb it received as a cub is by its side. On some moments, the leo will play with the orb just like a kitten, but it remains as vigilant as always, ready to abandon it at the slightest sign of threat.
Guardian leos are small creatures about the size of a husky. In many ways, they act like dogs, devoted to the magis who adopt them. From a young age, the leos need to be included in a variety of activities that will strengthen the lifetime bond they have with their magi. If kept outdoors and away from human company, the leos will slowly isolate themselves and eventually lose their life purpose. Despite being mighty and fierce, the guardian leos can suffer from separation anxiety. If a leo is left behind for whatever reason, it has to be left in the company of trustworthy, familiar faces. Otherwise, the leo will relentlessly search for its magi, causing havoc until their return. Gifting the leos small, blue orbs is a tradition of great importance. A guardian leos' loyalty towards its magi can turn into an obsession easily. Therefore, they are encouraged to care for the orbs just as much. The oddness of their behavior aside, the leos are considered invaluable companions, as their loyalty can hardly be challenged.
