One thing about a gender swapped Sophie that I don't think a lot of people are talking about is how it changes their background and plot line.

A male Ward, who is the Lord's bastard, is a much bigger threat to Araminta. It is not only proof that her husband can father a child but a boy. Would she honestly keep a male bastard around just to make him suffer? Would her husband have claimed him and asked that he be made heir in his will?

Then we have the issue of what is their job? Because male!Sophie can't be a housemaid Lady's Maid or Governess. So no easy way to stash them with the family while trying to woo them. At least with the female members. I can't see Anthony hiring anyone to an important Steward or Clerk job just cause Benedict asks. Maybe tutor for Gregory?

Even Sophie's public sexual harassment at a party is severely different if she was a man. They can just get rid of it altogether, but it is how they're reintroduced.

And finally, the issue of being a Mistress and having a Bastard. The main reason for Sophie not to give in to Benedict. Maybe her male counterpart would have similar issues with being unwed partners, but that has different issues between two men in this era. (Don't know how to phrase that last bit better)

There are too many changes to the character's background and history.

So I say keep female Sophie and maybe give her and Benedict a boyfriend in the future. Otherwise, it's a brand new character, not a gender bent version.

Sophie stepfamily confirmed

My days of Cowper-trutherism are over 😅 seems like they’re going highly book-accurate, but I hope they don’t push Rosamund+Benedict too far

Bridgerton Season 4: Fall for the First Photos of Luke Thompson and Yerin Ha

The love story of Benedict Bridgerton and Sophie Baek has begun filming.

[inlovewithquotes]

"She is your step daughter," Benedict ground out. "She should never have been in a position where she felt she had to--"

Araminta's face twisted and grew red. "Don't you ever," she warned, "call her my step daughter. She is nothing to me. Nothing!"

"I beg your pardon," Lady Bridgerton said in a remarkably polite voice, "but if she truly meant nothing to you, you'd hardly be here in this filthy jail, attempting to have her hanged for theft."

Are you shipping your TWST OCs with anyone besides Rosa and Kore?

I mean, the only ones I can think of is Araminta, who is based on Minthe, but she's not successful in trying to romance Idia at GloMas and then there's Erica, who is Prince Riele's love interest, but Kora's not close to Erica and by the time of Rosa and Vil, Erica and Riele are already married, so you don't see their love story? Other than that no? I don't plan on making ships for all 22 students at NRC or the staff.

Like @avionvadion said, I gave the okay for if Avion wants to ship Arianell and Deuce because Black Cauldron X Cauldron Deuce, but I have an IRL friend who likes Deuce, so I'm not gonna do that. But that's my friendship and stuff, hence why I told Avion if they wanted to ship Arianell and Deuce that was fine.

I can talk a bit about why Kora and Rosa got made here.

Main reason I made Kora a Persephone based Yuu was because I knew Idia was going to be my favorite character when Japan first showcased him before the game came out in 2020 because I could tell he was gonna be a personality I tend to like in characters and also because I have a bit of a vendetta against Disney shoving Hades and Maleficent as a ship at me.

It annoyed me as a kid when HadesXMaleficent in first showed up in the House of Mouse episode "Halloween with Hades" because I was reading Greek mythology by like 2nd grade as I had a high reading level, so I knew Hades had a WIFE by that point, but I shrugged it off. However, when Descendants pushed it at me again with Mal's dad being Hades, I got really irritated because Disney did have Persephone in the Hercules movie as a background character on Olympus and there's Fall and Winter in the song "One Last Hope".

And if Disney will not give me Hades and Persephone content, I will make my own.

And I understand why Hades and Persephone is not everyone's cup of tea in this day and age, but if you are looking at the myth from the perspective and understanding of the Ancient Greek world, it's just an arranged marriage. The blame for the kidnapping of Persephone is on Zeus because he didn't say anything to the bride or her mother. Hades, by the rules of getting married in Ancient Greece, followed the proper procedures to get married by speaking to Persephone's father and arranging it with him, including getting his bride the way he was TOLD to by her father. It was all on Zeus for not telling Demeter or Persephone he'd arranged a marriage for Persephone. Persephone, for that day and age, was also treated way better than even Hera, because Hades made her his equal in power which was rare in Ancient Greece. But nowadays, we know better than to do bride kidnappings -even if the bride's dad tells us to-, arranged marriages usually have the bride and her mother included in those talks now, and women are treated much better than they were in Ancient Greece.

In regards to Rosa, I originally had no plans to make an OC to ship with Vil. She was not planned and she snuck up on me. Unbeknownst to me, she started to form after Vil got after Epel for thinking things are "boyish" or "girly" in Book 5. By the end of Book 5, the idea of Rosa had formed enough that I could flesh her out more, but she was distinct enough that I knew her basics.

I suppose if an OC manifests like Rosa or one of my OCs demands a ship, that works, but other than Rosa and Kora, I have no plans currently. I know Avion does have ships, but we agree that since our Yuus are different, it's like a butterfly effect on the world. Things are similar, some are different. Example, Avion has Poma and Kusi for Yzma and Kuzco, I have Thiago and Manco. Poma and Kusi do not show up in "One Last Hope" because again, butterfly effects.
