HELLO OKAY. So I needed to struggle through this real quick before I Actually Wrote Anything because memory is a complex and dangerous thing, ok. I'm sorry, it's long, I write essays.
I am imagining Leo's memory loss as kind of a faulty wipe like he was an active in Dollhouse? (Yes, my nerd is showing and no I DON'T CARE.) He will have 0 memories of who he is, why he is the way he is, and will not be able to control such things as his accent, his presentation as a Very Serious Person, his blind ambition will be less focused and more just...ambition. He WILL, however, still retain imprinted relationships (will still love Rafael, will still adore his team, will still remember who his friends are, will probably actually be more vocal re: admiration and opinions of other people.) His core personality will not change and will actually be more on display, because he can't mute it or sublimate it anymore. So long story short, today Leo is ambitious without a cause, not hidden about being willing to break rules to get what he wants, may tell you how he feels about you, finally. There just won't be any reasons for it. YAY!
And then Ferdie I am doing this to break into his head and break down some of the many walls (he has too many walls to even PLAY sometimes, so that was dumb of me,) that he has put up. So I will be more specific carving into his headbrain. He will remember he's from Chicago. He will not remember his mother is Irene Ayers, MACUSA SPY. He will remember he is a prefect, but pretty much that's a good thing in his life, so that's ok. He will not remember the reason he's been so hesitant to talk to his classmates in the past (reason: he was insanely sheltered! He didn't really know how!) He will remember that he likes talking to people, that he's not bad at it, and I am going to Make a Real Effort to get him out there and do so this time. So if you want a more outgoing Ferdie in your direction please let me knooow.
Leo and Ferdinand; the thesis. I'm sorry.
