Character Info[]

Personality[]

One of the most predominant traits of Leslie Stevens is his incredible political incorrectness. A few examples of this include his belief that it is "respectful to grope people on Japanese subways", his tendency to put blackface on snowmen, and his ignorant belief that President Barack Obama was only excepted into Harvard on a basketball scholarship.

In addition to this Leslie Stevens has shown himself to be incredibly selfish and greedy, as shown by the fact that he fired his grandma and the fact that he buried his father in an unmarked grave so he didn't have to pay for a proper funeral and burial.

Relationships[]

Daphne-Daphne is the majority owner of Steven and Lido's something that Leslie originally resented her for.

Dre-Leslie is Dre's boss and the two are fairly friendly, predictably however, their friendship is strained by Leslie's immense racism.
