I FINALLY finished the character sheet I've been working on for the last...2 weeks?

I hope you like Wynstan's friend Nelengon! She's another student wizard studying at The Place, specialising in enchanted beadwork and Ilang'eni spellwork (a form of riddle magic).

(here she is on art fight)

More info about her beneath the cut!

Nelengon comes from a magically-aware world in which humanity has been dethroned by an ecoterrorist “demon” (a sort of magically powered, very limited artificial intelligence). Most humans were killed, or abandoned their planet and evacuated to other worlds connected by tunnelspace, but the human ancestors of her people were able to strike a deal with the giraffes who shared their territory, and were spiritually joined and became one tribe - the Lomara. In this way, they were able to continue to live on their ancestral land, despite losing many other things that they depended on.

Nelengon’s magic was present even as a young child, but because her enchanted beadwork only worked on others (as presents) it was not particularly noticed that she was the origin of the effect. Once her power was traced to its source, however, she was put under a strict regime of training by her grandmother, as survival in their world is difficult and every resource must be used carefully. There was much debate as to whether her going away to study at The Place would bring good or ill, but in the end, it was decided that she must go - and even more importantly, return to her community.

i keep seeing that post about how frustrating the buff guy -> petite girl type genderbending is, and i wanted to add my two cents regarding the addition of ‘just swap pronouns and don’t change the design’ approach because i think these are two sides of the same coin, as they both fail to really delve into what i think is the most interesting aspect of this design exercise.

the reason i find genderbending to be such a fun and interesting challenge is because, if you actually want to be good at it and put thought into it, you have to really consider the character’s canon gender expression and think about what it means to them and how it reflects in their outward appearance and presentation.

is this male character buff because he likes to work out / be strong, or does he aspire to achieve conventional heteronormative male beauty?

is this female character a tomboy because she likes to express herself in a more masculine way, or is she doing it to fight gender norms?

the answers to those questions should produce very different designs!

this website loves to say that gender is a spectrum, but sometimes i genuinely wonder if people actually understand what that means. 

gender expression, much like gender, is also a spectrum, which is why keeping the character exactly the same won’t always work, in the same way that just making the character conventionally attractive won’t always work. but sometimes, a buff dude would actually just be a hot girl. lady bane, however, would 100% look exactly the same.

unhappy side effect of "morally ambiguous" being treated as the pinnacle of writing is that you will often be made to experience what a not so talented writer with big aspirations thinks is morally ambiguous
