Legault in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade

Image Credit: Retrieved from https://fireemblem.fandom.com/wiki/Legault

Legault is a playable character in Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. He is a purple-haired thief who flirts with various characters. As Fire Emblem as a series has a history of long purple-haired purple-haired characters who are gay or bisexual and sometimes flirty (such as Lyon, Leon, or Yuri), this comes off as queer coding for Legault.

In Legault’s supports, Legault flirts (albeit possibly jokingly) with both Heath (seen here at 5:29) and Matthew (seen here at 0:41) and also (explicitly, seen here at 3:15) with Isadora. He does not have any same-sex paired endings, and his only paired ending is with Isadora. He also comments on Lloyd’s morphed body as being handsome, even as a monster (seen here at 0:36). Because of this, we have classified him as Bisexual Implicit.
