Top 20 Gayest Video Game Characters - Honorable Mentions And Ones We Missed #7
Another one that has garnered a lot of email is this fancy dresser from Chrono Trigger…
Flea – Chrono Trigger
“Male….Female…what does it matter? Power is beautiful, and I’ve got the power!”
From Warrior Mage, a Flea fansite
“Flea generally appears to be aprovocatively dressed, red-haired female with her hair pulled up in a high braid to expose elf-like ears. In Chrono Cross his hair appears more pink than red and in a “bob” style, though. The primary colors of his costume are pink, white, red, gold, and various browns.
In Chrono Trigger, he wears a white cape with a high collar, bearing a distinctive pink stripe near the bottom hem and fingerless, white gloves. He also sports a white bustier, belted at the waist with what appears to be a gold lamp hanging from it with a red skirt layered slightly under it.
However, in Chrono Cross, the pink and white theme is carried out a bit further top where it appears he’s wearing a pink and white, Japanese school girl (sailor) outfit sans cape.”
Whew! While it’s up in the air whether his sexual preference runs to boys, he certainly does love dressing up, and his powers, such as Heart, Blow Kiss, and Rainbow Storm also leave a lot of question marks. Thoughts, anyone? (Come on, you know you’re dying to weigh in on this one!)
Thanks to everyone who sent this one in!

Flea is a female in Crono Trigger. She just doesn’t seem to know that, mistaking herself for a guy and all. She is probably bi though.
I give you these qoutes from around the web that prove otherwise…
Wikipedia:
“Flea appears to be a human female (ample breasts and mini-skirt), but insists that he/she is actually a man. This is supported when you fight the trio in Chrono Cross; as all characters and monsters have a gender marking in their status boxes, Flea is marked as a male by the game (even though he is in clearly female form). ”
and this one from “Eyes on Final Fantasy:
“Well, Flea refers to himself as a guy AND, more importantly; in Chrono Cross, when you fight Flea in the Bend of Time, if you target him, it shows the male gender symbol, thus irrefutably proving that Flea is indeed a bloke and is hiding some tackle underneath that skirt!”
There are plenty more but they’d take up too much room
Yeah, the text of the game makes it pretty hard to argue that Flea is anything but a male who looks female. I'm still shocked Nintendo let this character remain as such in the American version of the game.
