Leslie is a supporting character in The Amazing World of Gumball. He is a delicate flower who is in Miss Simian's class at Elmore Junior High. He is Penny and Polly's cousin, as revealed in "The Flower."

Appearance

Leslie is a pink flower who stays grounded in a blue flowerpot. He has a thin green stem coming out of the pot which he uses to move his head around and two long leaves extend from his stem, which are used as his arms. Green stubby roots pop out under his flowerpot, which he uses as feet. The inside of his mouth is colored purple, and his tongue is red. In season 2 onwards, he acquires eyebrows, like most other characters who received redesigns in the new season. In some instances, such as when Leslie hallucinates in "The Petals," his eyes are blue, but in "The Triangle," they appear green. In the early reel, Leslie's petals are colored baby-blue instead, and, in one prototype image, his tongue is as well. In "The Awareness," it is revealed that Leslie is actually a dandelion when he loses his pink petals.

Personality

Leslie is gentle and, while he can be hyper and creepy (similar to Banana Joe), he seems to be intelligent and wise. He is also very effeminate and hangs out around the Treehouse Girls, possibly because Leslie is great at giving relationship advice. Many people confuse him for a girl due to his feminine traits, his falsetto voice, and his name. Most flowers are hermaphroditic, so it is possible he may actually be female to some degree. He often says malapropisms (e.g., using "graceful" or "grapefruit" when he meant "grateful," or "condensation" instead of "conversation"). He appears to be a multi-instrumentalist; he is seen playing the violin in "The Sidekick," the saxophone in "The Fridge," and the flute in "The Triangle." In "The Petals," it is also revealed that he is quite the fashionista, to the point of having had a haute-couture "high fashion phase," and is obsessed with his image to the degree of narcissism and vanity. This element of pride in his character also crops up in "The Awareness," where he enters into an escalating feud with Gumball over the latter's knowledge of plants, and ends up suffering considerable injury and nearly getting himself killed because he wants to prove Gumball a liar. Leslie's status as a plant is also an important part of his personality, as it makes him a passionate carnivore who considers eating fruit and vegetables to be cruel, and also means he is rather ignorant on the lives of animals, believing Gumball has to be milked every day.

Trivia

• It is revealed in "The Flower" that he and Penny are cousins.
• Due to his feminine appearance and behavior, he has been referred to as a female in many countries:
  • In the European Spanish translation, he is often treated as a girl.
  • In season 1, Leslie was a female in the Latin Spanish and French dubs. This was corrected in season 2.
  • In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Leslie referred to himself as a female in "The Party," and Darwin refers to him using female pronouns in "Darwin's Yearbook: Alan."
• According to "The Flower," Leslie does not have his own bedroom.
• The fact that Leslie is a male character with an effeminate appearance and personality is likely a reference to the "flower boy" archetype. A "flower boy" is a term that originated in South Korea and is often used to describe a young man who possesses both a delicate, feminine appearance and a certain level of androgyny. These individuals are typically considered to be very attractive and charming, often resembling the beauty and grace of flowers.
  • It could also be a reference to the fact that plants technically do not have a gender.
• It is revealed in "The Origins" that when he was younger, his face was covered, as he was not bloomed.
• Leslie is good at dancing, as shown in "The Triangle."
  • It is also his "power" in "The One."
• Leslie is the only male character who is a member of the Treehouse Girls.
• He is still fully conscious whenever his head is removed, as shown in both "The Gift" and "The Petals."
• It is strongly implied that Leslie is gay, given that was shocked to see Gumball's butt in "The Mustache", he didn't object to marrying Alan after Bobert forcibly attempted to marry them together (even implying that he had a crush on Banana Joe), and he was the only one happy after being kissed by "Alan" (Darwin in disguise) in "The Saint". Also the fact that he met with the girls to talk about their boyfriends leaves this implicit.
• Leslie is able to self-pollinate, and when he does, he makes out with himself, implying he may be autosexual.
