Leper Lepellier was once a boy who, through the perceptions of the other boys at Devon, was seen as subordinate and socially awkward.  He enjoyed skiing and he had a passion for nature.  Because of his tranquil and flimsy personality, Leper was the last person the boys at Devon thought would enlist in the army, but in fact, he was the very first.  His inspiration came from a skiing military combat shown by a reinforcement group.  Leper instantly decided to enlist, and without warning, he suddenly disappeared.  After a few months of participating in the war, Leper escaped due to his inability to fathom the bloodshed that accompanied the uniform.  He returned to Devon after he was dismissed, but he wasn’t quite the same as before he departed.  His fragile heart could not bear the aspects of the war, and he received the misfortunes of anxiety and inner turmoil.
