Lea

Unreleased

Lea is the complete being of Axel, and a close friend of Isa. He will appear in the upcoming Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, as a teenager, alongside Isa.

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
At an unknown point in time, Lea's heart was consumed by darkness, turning him into a Heartless. However, his strong will gave him the ability to continue on as a Nobody: Axel. Some time later, Organization XIII found his Nobody, who received the name Axel and was inducted into their ranks as Number VIII. It is known that he joined alongside Isa, and the two had a secret, unknown plan. At some point during Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, he has a conversation with Ventus, along with Isa.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Saïx called Axel Lea when they were talking about Xion and Roxas close to the end of the game.

Appearance
Lea appeared in a recent trailer for Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep as well as a recent scan. In it, he looks about the same age as Ventus. His hair resembles his Nobody's, but shorter and with the spikes styled upward. Lea has a slight widow's peak, a trait he also shares with Axel, though Lea's is more noticeable. Lea's eyes are also more of a blue/green color than Axel's striking green. He wears a sleeveless orange jacket with a white, sleeveless shirt underneath, and tan, baggy pants with red and white sneakers and black socks. The pockets of his jacket are a much darker shade of orange than the rest of it. He also wears a yellow and brown keffiyeh around his neck. The pattern of this keffiyeh changes abruptly near Lea's neck, from stripes to a very organized checkerboard pattern.

He carries around a black Frisbee adorned with a flaming head design, which later influences his choice of weapons in the Organization: chakrams. He lacks Axel's tear-shaped facial marks.
