!!Lennon's intersectional status

!!Lennon's intersectional discrimination

"Lennon's True Identity" reveals that his origins as a mixed ChildOfForbiddenLove is responsible for his situation. Due to the racist eugenic law of the witches, his parents could only live together in a secret CommonLawMarriage. His father comes from Japan and his mother from the European-inspired Magical Realm, making him the equivalent of a half-Asian half-white child. The nature of their relationship makes him an [[BastardBastard illegitimate child]] as well, though neither the narrative nor a character comments on it. His father eventually fled with him to protect his mother, but a ship accident separated them and the boy became a pirate to survive.

Lastly to note is that he's the [[MasculineGirlFeminineBoy feminine boy to Arusu's masculine girl]]. In "Promise", she tells him to man up when he gets tired earlier than her during their journey to Wizard Kingdom. Even without his physical weakness, he has plenty of effeminate traits: delicate, androgynous features, crossdressing, a soft, high-pitched voice, and a sensitive personality. Surprisingly, this is one of the few times the franchise mentions gender stereotypes, as well as the only time his effeminacy is presented negatively.

The only clue to his human origins is his lack of vestigial wings, one of the reasons why he's able to pass as purely one of his mother's people. Nonetheless, their traditionalism has damaged his view of himself, leading to the false belief that she abandoned the family to satisfy her lust for power.
