Okay so. Hm. It's a difficult question? Given there isn't exactly some sort of expectation for him to be straight and generally this world is pretty trans-accepting. Main thing here then is gender: it was more of an innate sense. I mean, you grow up genderless and you figure out what feels right for you, fairly simple concept. The unfortunate part was figuring out uh. Ouch. He is definitely not a woman. That doesn't turn out well for him. I mean hey! They're respectful of his identity! That's not the problem. The problem is they're drows.

...okay that's my bad on the last one YES BABY THERE IS. Being a (half) drow in a noble drow family his gender is extremely relevant. Unfortunately, man! If he'd been a woman life would have been a breeze for him, especially being blessborn (I'll explain that if someone asks but for now just know it's bonus points) he could have been a REAL threat to Keera's station as the older sister. Buuuut nope! Unfortunately he is stuck like that. He couldn't call himself a woman because at this point it would feel viscerally wrong. Conditioning runs deep and he doesn't control what gender he is.
7. Is there something that could cause your oc to question their identity? What?
Okay so I've actually played out a scenario that hit this. Being called matriarchal titles! The scenario in which it happened was fucking AWFUL mind you but I can pick out titles from the roleplay that were used ("ma'am," "oh great matriarch" (said with sarcasm but still), "m'lady") and oh man. He had to ask himself QUESTIONS after that. Does he feel like he wants to be a woman, or does he just crave the power he's been deprived of his whole life? I mean taking that role made him physically sick, but that was more because he was acting out how his mother would treat him towards another person. Nobody really feels right after acting like their abusive parent. Still. He has to sit and stew about it for a long while because what if the circumstances were different? What if he was a matriarch himself, independent of her? What if he was just a woman? What does it mean beyond the power dynamic he's been stuck in his whole life? I think he'd still settle on being a man but it would give him a fucking crisis.

........I mean I introjected him-
