Lon'qu

Lon'qu, also known as Solitary Blade, is a character from the Fire Emblem series.
== Charactah Account ==
A swordsman raised in Regna Ferox, where Khan Basilio has vouched for his skill. While cool and curt around most people, the very sight of a woman turns him beetroot red. Having a cool personality and tending to keep things to himself. Lon'qu possesses a direct and somewhat unwieldy way of talking, likely from his lack of social grace or his foreign origins of Chon'sin.
Due to the events in his childhood involving Ke'ri, Lon'qu developed gynophobia out of fear of having another woman who becomes too close to him get killed. As a result, he often gets nervous when speaking with female members of the army; his Event Tile conversations with a female member also support this. However, some conversations show that Lon'qu can suppress his gynophobia in certain situations, such as when Lissa is placed under Lon'qu's protection by Chrom in order to thwart an assassination attempt.
When asked by Sully about his weakness during battle, he explains that he manages to ignore it when placed in a life-or-death situation, while his supports with Miriel reveal that his phobia is not triggered by animals or statues. His support conversations with Nowi show that his phobia doesn't trigger with her for unknown reasons.
