Ryu
From Breath of Fire
Ryu (リュウ, Ryū) is the central character of every Breath of Fire game. He is often one of the last surviving members of an ancient dragon clan and wields a sword as his weapon. "Ryu" (竜, ryū) is the Japanese word for "dragon". He's always depicted with blue hair, though it is noticeably harder to tell this in Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter as the shade of blue is much darker. His age varies between early adolescence and young adulthood (15-20 years old). A common trait between each Ryu is a proficiency at fishing. In most of his appearances, Ryu never speaks; a joking reference is made to this in the original Breath of Fire, when Ryu answers "Well, there is one thing." to the King of Winlan question of Ryu's reward. Alternatively, the Ryu of Dragon Quarter is a talkative individual whose power to morph into dragons was granted to him by an outside source (as Dragon Quarter has no actual "dragon clan").
