Canon

Total Drama Island

Leshawna and Harold had a rocky start when they first interacted in "Not So Happy Campers - Part 1." When Leshawna was introduced, Harold gasped upon seeing her. He then stared at her in disbelief, since he had never seen someone like her in real life. Leshawna, believing it could've been a compliment, asked him to explain, and Harold said that she was "real big and loud." This upsets Leshawna, resulting in her attempting to fight him, but she is restrained by DJ and Bridgette. Chris tells them to settle down, and they then take their spots on the dock. Leshawna looks at Harold uncomfortably, but he smiles back. This indicates that Harold possibly developed his crush on her then. When the deck breaks later on, Harold's foot is seen sticking out of the water next to Leshawna.

Leshawna attempts to fight Harold...ㅤ

...but DJ and Bridgette restrain her.

In "Dodgebrawl," Harold says that he needs to unleash his "wicked skills." Leshawna challenges him, calling him "string bean." Harold then slams the ball on the ground as it hits the ceiling, but it then bounces down with low force. The ball rolled to Leshawna, who seemed unimpressed by Harold, and she then picked it up. Harold ran away in fear, screaming in a "girly" tone, and Leshawna then threw the ball at him powerfully, sending Harold face first into the wall. Near the end of the challenge, Leshawna, along with the rest of the "Screaming Gophers," cheered after seeing that Harold needed to face alone against Owen. She and the rest of her team also appeared shocked once Harold showed his dodging skills.

The two barely interact in "Not Quite Famous." However, Leshawna and the rest of her team cheer for Harold's beatboxing skills, even though they're on different teams. They once again don't interact much in "If You Can't Take The Heat," and they only ever interact at the end. When Harold wakes up naked, Leshawna and the rest of the girls laugh at him. Leshawna, along with Courtney then say "Good morning, Harold!"

Fanon

Lesharold is a very popular and well-liked ship throughout the fandom. However, some people are confused as to why they seemed to like each other at all. Many fans are confused as to whether or not they officially became a couple at some point though, as they never confirmed becoming a couple in canon. A few viewers also compare this ship to Samkota, as they're both unlikely, yet canon couples.
