does the idealist need to have a nonbinary fc as well as being a nonbinary character? if so, could you perhaps give some more, preferably femme-aligned, suggestions? i want to play them as well as i can, i just don't have a lot of experience with nb charaters.

Yes, we would prefer that the face claim for the Idealist be non-binary, and that the character as well be non-binary. 

As for writing non-binary characters, I don’t really have any experience on that front either but after reading multiple guides for the past hour or so, I found that it’s best to do a lot of research. There are a lot of guides both on Tumblr and not on how to write them. I found this guide that is written by a non-binary person, and it’s very helpful. 

Some more femme-aligned suggestions are Indya Moore, Quintessa Swindell, and Brigette Lundy-Paine. I also found this directory with more non-binary faces!

meet the idealist

They were the only child, so it should not come as a surprise that they don’t play well with others. They’re capable of accomplishing anything and they know it, as long as they do them on their terms. Don’t let their unruly hair and crooked glasses fool you, because they’re a quick study and hates to lose.

If there was one thing you hated, it was failing. Ever since you were a child, you’ve been a perfectionist. It was evident in the seatworks that you took home from school, and the way you hated colouring past the lines. Even in your relationships, you were a perfectionist. It was only fair, after all, that you demand excellence from the people around you, because you were always at your best. You may be good at a lot of things, but your hubris has always been your downfall.

c o n n e c t i o n s

ADDICT - The ex-roommate. You’ve never been the best at making friends, and neither is he. It’s no wonder you two can’t quite get along. The four walls of your bedroom have seen many arguments go down between the two of you, and you hate that he has no regard whatsoever for how you feel.

OPTIMIST - The partner. You may not be good at making friends, but he is, and you’ve always prided yourself in being good at whatever it is you’re doing. You’re a good partner, even when you can’t compromise sometimes, but it’s okay because he seems always willing to.

The Idealist is Non-binary.

Play-by suggestions: Tommy Dorfman, Hunter Schafer, Amandla Stenberg, Indya Moore, Liv Hewson.
