=== Background ===
Lion Ushiromiya is the incest-born child of [[Kinzo Ushiromiya]] and his daughter, [[Beatrice Ushiromiya]]. In an attempt to keep Kinzo's deed a secret, Lion was offered to [[Natsuhi Ushiromiya]] for adoption as Natsuhi was having trouble conceiving children of her own. Miraculously, Natsuhi accepted and raised Lion as her own child before giving birth to her biological daughter, [[Jessica Ushiromiya|Jessica]].
 
Lion was student council president during both middle school and high school, as well as head of the badminton team.

=== Personality ===
Lion is a mild and polite person without any clear faults. Lion strongly believes in equality regardless of gender or rank. Because of this trait, Lion dislikes being called "successor-sama" by the rest of the family. Lion also doesn't like rude people asand has a habit of pinchignpinching their butts. According to one of Ryukishi's 'in-character' answers on Twitter, Lion believes that regardless of gender, one should be able to stand in the kitchen.
 
Because people would often ask about Lion's gender, Lion admits to having a bit of a complex towards such questions. When Will asks what Lion's gender is, Lion presents a retort suggesting the answer to Will's question should be obvious.
 
== Plot ==
=== Requiem of the Golden Witch ===
After [[Bernkastel]] seals the [[chapel]] away in a time-locked Fragment, she has Lion work with [[Willard H. Wright]] as his partner. Together, the two attempt to solve the murder of Beatrice. Willard eventually comes to the conclusion that Beatrice was killed by one of two different culprits, depending on the Fragment. Lion is one of the two, who "kills" Beatrice by existence alone; in a Fragment wherein Lion exists, Beatrice the witch does not. Conversely, in Fragments wherein Beatrice the witch exists, Lion does not (which is why Lion is not in any arc prior to {{requiem}}). During this, Lion learns about their true heritage as both Kinzo's child and grandchild.
 
== Trivia ==
* Lion's name is pronounced "Lee-on" rather than "Lie-on".
* Lion's name may comebe derived from "Beatrice Castig'''lion'''i, since Lion is her grandchild.
*[[Willard H. Wright]] occasionallysometimes refers tocalls Lion as his "Watson." Lion even turns thisit back on him at one point by calling him "Willard Holmes".
* Lion's palatte swap in Ougon Musou Kyoku CROSS is based off the character Saber from Fate/Zero. They also share the same voice actress.
