1,3 for sinew, and 17 and 18!

  1. What's your oc's gender identity? What's their relationship to their gender?
    YIPPEEEE OKAY SO Sinew. Sinew is very much a woman, and precise about how he presents and yet somehow laidback at the same time. He doesn't care abt looking particularly gendered either way except in that he has a very specific image of himself and how he wants to look. Like he knew he wanted a more traditionally feminine body but also still identifies with masculinity in a lot of ways, preferring he/him and compliments like handsome, etc. but not anything outright gendered like say, boyfriend or pretty boy. Also while he tends to dress fairly androygnously he still likes wearing more feminine garments like skirts, dresses, and likes feminine makeup at times, but likes to put a tomboyish flavor to it so it feels like it fully encompasses his identity.

  2. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know?
    The very funny answer to this is he always felt something deeply off about himself (aside from the sort of, "broken machine" mentality the military gave him re: his disability) but in a "Im probably a girl but I have work tomorrow so I cant worry about that" way. Just always a vague thought and mild dissatisfaction in the back of his brain. It wasn't until he spent more time around other women outside of like, social events and flings and more everyday life that he was like...hmmm something about this feels right. I think one day he'd be chilling and be like yeah it's weird I always kind of felt like a girl but I still like he/him and being masculine haha isnt that bizarre, my mind is crazy. and Muzette would be like you know you can just be a woman who uses he/him right. And he goes :o

  3. Do you share identity with any of your ocs? Which ones?
    I have several bisexuals in my lineup, Im guilty a bit of not thinking to make a character have another identity at times bc my brain just defaults to yaaaaaaay I like everyone lmao. But ngl Tilly is very much reflective of my particular flavor of genderfluid in a lot of ways, and in some ways the opposite or what I wish I was. It's not that deep though, I just find a lot of appeal in "boy-girl-thing" as someone who is a boy-girl-thing lol.

  4. Do you prefer to give your ocs specific labels, or keep it unspecified? Why? If applicable, do you change their labels depending on circumstance?

I think everyone has specific labels because I just have very concrete ideas of what they are, and if a character was unlabelled it'd be because they themselves consider themselves unlabelled :")
