Bleu (known as Deis in the Japanese version) is an optional playable character that appears in Breath of Fire II. She is a powerful sorceress who claims to be over 10,000 years old and is revealed in the sequels to be an extra-dimensional being. She previously appeared in the original Breath of Fire, where she assisted the party in thwarting the plans of the Dark Dragon Clan and her sister Myria, aka Tyr. If discovered in Breath of Fire II, she'll ally with the party to defeat Myria's offspring, Deathevan.

Role in Breath of Fire II

Bleu is the game's secret playable character, and recruiting her is entirely optional. To have her join the party, you must first go to Wisdon, located south-east in the desert region, which is accessible either by whale, the Great Bird, or Township. Once in Wisdon, talk to the Wisps who will speak about Bleu.

After leaving Wisdon, Bleu will appear in disguise as one of the students in the left-hand classroom on the second floor of the Magic School. After speaking her, she decides that she's grown bored of the school and will join the party.

Appearance

Bleu's has the appearance of a blue haired woman with the body of a snake from the waist down. She wears a purple shirt with gold trimmings and highlights, with her cleavage exposed in the middle. She wears a few accessories, such as green earrings, some gold bracelets and armbands, and some rings. She also sports a cloak that's purple on the outside, and red on the inside. Though her cloak sports a hood, she's only seen wearing it in the overworld and in her mugshot.

Throughout the game, several characters comment on her physical beauty, and are aware of her reputation as a powerful magician.

Personality

Despite her age and reputation as a peerless sorceress, Bleu demonstrates a capricious, and at times self-centered, attitude. When the party visits Wisdon, her bedroom is in disarray and her household spirit laments her irresponsible nature. She makes several attempts to flirt with Ryu.

Abilities

In battle

Bleu joins the party at Level 35 and starts with 199 HP and 182 AP. While the other party members stat growth significantly slows down after reaching Level 60, hers continue to grow at an accelerated rate until Level 99. Consequently, she has the highest natural stats in every area except for Guts. She is a very skilled magic user and focuses on offense-based spells. Her combat special battle skill, "Shed," allows her to completely recover her HP and remove negative status conditions, with the consequence of acquiring the Def-Down condition until the end of the battle.

In the field

Alongside Bow and Katt, Bleu is one of three characters who can hunt in the game. Her hunting ability is a lightning based spell which immediately kills all of the animals on the screen, with the unfortunately side effect of turning them to charcoal.

In the story

Bleu demonstrates the ability to magically transform herself into human form, posing as a nondescript young woman at the Magic School.
