HISS LEAFY MOVIE

Leafy was kidnapped by a group of aliens and was locked in an apartment room in America and is now forced to make videos for YouTube. He also doesn't sugar coat anything and is very blunt, which is sometimes interpreted by the other characters as being rude. He takes everything literally and has a short temper meaning he gets in a lot of arguments with the others, sometimes even with himself, but he's also a coward so he usually loses the arguments if he hadn't already backed down. He's most probably the most chilled out one in the line up of characters. Within a few hours, the video gained over half a million views and 60,000 likes, prompting Leafy to hide the videos in question from his YouTube channel and issue a formal apology via Twitter, uploading the next day an apology video that got over 800,000 in the following hours.Leafy the lizard is Leafy's main oc that he uses for skits, intros, tweets, jokes and merch.
