@Jade Encrusted Bugs: Why, thank you! That's quite an interesting take on Cedar. Now I'm kind of wishing I'd come up with some similar interpretation, and since Cedra hasn't shown up in the fic beyond a few mentionings, I'll take that suggestion into account. I do have a different character who is intersex, however, and that is Poppy(who is Holly's fraternal twin in the story, though the two look rather similar). Apple comments in the first chapter that because Poppy is intersex, Poppy was the only one given a "choice" when it comes to gender identity and expression, when that really isn't true in so many ways. Sure, Poppy's parents tried to be relatively open-minded, but it was just more convenient to have two girl twins as opposed to two opposite-gender twins, so they kind of pushed Poppy into a female role. I've actually been debating over how Poppy identifies in the story(Male? Female? Bigender, stemming from one inerpretation of how canon!Poppy became a "Roybel" according to the webisodes? Some other interpretation I haven't considered?). I'll admit that there are still a lot of aspects of this community that I'm discovering each and every day(and ones that I'm still trying to learn more about before I'm fairly confident that I can portray them with accuracy), and while representing every facet may be near to impossible, I definitely plan on doing my best.
