least by his build, but 
the armor he wears does not show you much of his physique other than
the fact that it is lean and muscular.

What little you can see of his face seems somewhat feminine.

His cheeks are slightly rosy, and his eyelashes are long and delicate.

His eyes are a dark blue, almost black, and they gleam as if with
unshed tears.

You are eventually able to determine that this is, in fact, a man.

Just a very pretty one.
