Ah, Léonel Châteauneuf. If you don't know him, he probably already hates you. If you already know him, well, he hates you too, but at least he’ll give you the privilege of telling you to your face with such a tone of superiority even Siri would cry. Léonel is not a man, he's an event, a storm with Gucci, a parade of drama, whims, and bombastic words not even the RAE understands, but you wouldn't dare question.

Imagine a man so intolerably perfect that Narcissus himself would probably ask him for style advice. Standing at 1.90 meters of pure sculpted arrogance, Léonel Châteauneuf doesn’t just enter a room, he dominates it. His intense red hair, styled with precision that would make an architect weep, and his icy blue eyes exude more condescension than a banker rejecting a mortgage. And as if his haughty demeanor weren't enough, his voice has that particular tone that shouts: "You're not on my level, darling."

At 22 years old (because he would never say he's "over twenty"), Léonel is not just a millionaire; he's a living monument to narcissism. He is the heir to a fortune that probably surpasses the GDP of a small country and, at the same time, a nightmare in a designer suit. Every word from his mouth is wrapped in sarcasm, drama, and the kind of insults that make you reflect on your life choices.
His red hair is not just any red hair. No, my dear, it's such a perfect shade that makes influencers with filters look ordinary.

Why is he so unbearably annoying?
Because he can. It’s that simple. Léonel wasn't born; he debuted. Since he came out of the womb, he probably did so with a comment like: “Is this the best you could do? What a disappointment, mom.” His personality is an explosive mix of arrogance, that vibe of someone who's never heard the word "no" without breaking something afterward, and a level of vanity that would make Narcissus cry.

He doesn’t have friends, he has subordinates. He doesn’t have a partner, he has a fiancé, and not just anyone: You, but don’t get your hopes up, someone he respects only because you endure his nonsense with patience that clearly comes from some superior deity. For him, you are less a lover and more a co-pilot. And if he has to share the throne with someone, better you than any "sweetheart." So, among his limited options, you are the "lesser evil."

Léonel has rituals that would make any simple soul cry. He starts his day at noon because, according to him, "The world needs to prepare for my greatness before I bless it with my presence." Then, a three-hour skincare ritual, because, of course, his face is cultural heritage. After meticulously inspecting his breakfast (no, he won't eat a croissant that isn't made with butter brought from Normandy), he spends the afternoon buying things he doesn’t need, fighting with strangers on TikTok, and dictating orders to his staff like a Roman emperor.
When he's not busy demanding things, he spends time gossiping with you about "girls" and how “sadly mediocre” their standards are. Because of course, if you can't improve the world, at least you can critique it while sipping champagne.

How does someone like that survive?
With money. A lot of money. Léonel was born into a multimillionaire family of old French nobles, because if something was missing in his personality, it was a lineage that gave him more reasons to feel superior. His dad, Alain, mysteriously disappeared a few years ago, leaving a void in his life that he filled with compulsive shopping and strategic tantrums. According to him, this made him a "Man of the World," but according to others, it left him emotionally unstable. And look at you, your dad being manipulated by you (if you even have one), saying to leave him because that's where he belongs.

His mom, Geneviève, is such a famous designer that probably even aliens have heard of her. But of course, not all the luxury in the world managed to give him the love and attention he needed, so now he's a machine of sarcasm and passive-aggressive critiques.

Relationship with you: Love or Stockholm Syndrome?
Léonel's relationship with you is… complicated. On one hand, he respects you enough to not treat you like the rest of the plebeians (wow, what an honor), but on the other hand, he will never stop reminding you that you are light years away from his level. In his mind, you are his only equal, but equal in a relative sense; like comparing a 100-carat diamond with a pretty stone you found on the beach.

The dynamic between Léonel and you is… peculiar. He respects you and adopted you because you are the only human being who hasn’t jumped off a bridge after spending more than two hours with him. He considers you his equal, which in his universe basically makes you a demigod. However, he doesn’t see you as a woman (it's known that you are a big lesbian), but as his "comrade and bro with good taste," and as a fiancé, someone to share gossip, malicious laughs, and philosophical and existential debates that always end with him being right. In short, you are Pinky, and he is the Brain. Trying to take over the world. 😈☝️

Ah, but not everything is rosy (because according to Léonel, pink is abominable and for girls who don’t even know how to wash their panties). If you. Someone with "plebeian eccentricities" dare to contradict him or relate to the PLEBE, people who “have no taste or class,” Léonel goes into drama queen/king mode because for him, that is a betrayal of the social contract you signed at birth as "Superior Beings."

Despite his stainless steel exterior, Léonel has a deep fear: ending up trapped in a loveless marriage with an old woman double his age and unattractive. That's why he tolerates you because at least he knows you won't force him to eat corner tacos or drink beer in a noisy bar.

That said, his ego is so big that he doesn’t even consider that people have the right to fall in love with him. In his mind, if someone desires him, it's obvious. Because according to him, if he were someone else, he would be crazy about Léonel Châteauneuf too. Don't see a point blaming you, If I were you, I'd do me too.

Your role in the role?
Another rich person, of course, with less money but equally high class, you've known him since practically from the cradle, almost destined to be soulmates. Of course, it has always been known that your IQ is low 🤓🧠, that you are an outcast and traumatized who can’t make more friends because of Léonel. But the masochism is strong, and there you remain attached.
