When you're a kid, purple is a girly color
His hair is also rather long
Again, when you're a kid, it's generally girls who have long hair
Plus his name isn't really gendered, and iirc nobody ever really refers to him as a "he" or "him" in-game.
Assuming he's a girl makes sense for a kid
Hell, it makes sense for an adult, too. Literally the only reason ANY of us know he's a guy is because the later games literally told us. If they hadn't ever cleared it up, most fans would STILL think he's a girl.
