#lonqu

here's why i think this could be lon'qu.

the hair is obviously very similar. it's not a 1:1 comparison, but it does feel more similar to lon'qu than the other characters it could be imo

he has the fur arm cuffs! sure, anyone could have those, but for a ninja outfit i don't think they'd include something like that unless they were a design staple for the character - and since bunny lon'qu had the same thing, i think it's safe to say intsys considers this a core part of lonqu's design

he's still holding a sword despite clearly having another weapon. this was also the case with bunny lon'qu. while this could still be owain/odin, i feel like the sword is such an integral part to lon'qu, and that's not really the case for owain/odin iirc

lon'qu got his last alt in spring. we know that intsys likes to have their VAs record lines for multiple characters while they're in the studio. it's quite possible they had his VA record lines for two alts at once!

while the flavor text for the silhouettes doesn't always mean anything, i find the wording they used very interesting. people are speculating that yunaka is on the right. a former assassin and lon'qu both have very good reasons to be "dressed for hiding from the public eye"

it has nothing to do with the silhouette itself, but i do feel obligated to mention that lon'qu's CYL placement has remained consistently in or around the top 100 every year. bunny lon'qu was a free TT unit. maybe they actually want to take advantage of his popularity this time around by putting him on the banner!

in short,

For the uninformed Lon'qu is a character in Fite Emblem Awakening who is SCARED of women (he doesn't hate them). His reasoning for being irrationally afraid of women is because he is literally traumatized. He went through a traumatic event and lost his female best friend as a child. He literally had to go and tell this girls parents that she died. Idk about you but I think that's a very valid reason to be afraid of women (because you're scared they might get hurt when you're around them).

Literally Lon'qu's irrational fear of women comes from him caring about women. So stop saying he's sexist.
