Bleu (known as Deis in the Japanese version) is a playable character who appears in the original Breath of Fire. She is a powerful centuries-old sorceress, and is revealed in the sequels to be a member of the otherworldly Endless. However, she's been asleep for so long that she has forgotten much of her powerful ancient magic.

Bleu is headstrong, flamboyant, and arrogant, with a penchant for insulting the other party members, particularly Nina. Despite her shortcomings, she is a knowledgeable and important ally who helps the party time and again on their journey to stop the Dark Dragon Clan, their emperor Zog, and her younger sister Tyr.

Role in Breath of Fire

Prior to the events of Breath of Fire

Bleu fought alongside the unnamed Light Dragon Clan warrior and his comrades against her younger sister Tyr. They manage to defeat her, and the warrior seals Tyr away by using the six Goddess Keys. Bleu gives the keys to some of her Wisps to guard, then afterwards she returns home to the mystical wandering city of Wisdon, where she now slumbers.

During Breath of Fire

By the present day, Ryu and his party seek Bleu's aid when the Dark Dragon Empire attempts to use its new weapon against Prima. She is guarded by her Wisps, who challenge Ryu and friends to see if they are worthy enough to meet with her. After receiving a rude awakening by her guardians, Bleu gives the party an Old Egg and instructs them to toss it in a volcano, then return back to her before resuming her sleep. After the party does so, Bleu is informed that the Dark Dragons are trying to revive her sister and is causing chaos to do so, so she decides to personally assist the heroes in stopping them.

At the end of the game, once they manage to triumph over Tyr, Bleu is the second one to leave the party, managing to sneak away back to Wisdon where she once again slumbers.

Combat

Bleu is a powerful sorceress who learns some of the game's most powerful magic. Despite being a mage, Bleu actually has very good stat growth overall and is not as frail as other party members. She also levels up very quickly, at least until she reaches Level 41, and can easily be ten or more levels higher than the rest of the party. Her high level up speed may be gameplay/story integration, since she has forgotten many of her powerful spells due to her long slumber, and gradually remembers them as she battles alongside her comrades. It could also be the game's way of ensuring that the player gains as many of her spells as possible before the game ends.

Her weapons are largely weak, so it's best to keep her in the back row, though she does have access to the useful female-only equipment that can give her greater defensive options. Due to her powerful magic ability, keeping Bleu equipped with the AngleArmor is highly recommended, as her spells tends to be incredibly powerful.

Trivia

• While not really confirmed in the game, the manga adaption, Breath of Fire: The Dragon Warrior, reveals that Bleu has a romantic interest in Ryu, a trait that would carry into later incarnations of the character.
  • Assuming that's also the case in the game, this might explain why she tends to pick on Nina the most, since Nina also has feelings for him.
