Here's a cool idea - what if Le Paon is transgender?

Just looking at the way peafowl as a species work, Duusu's female pronouns are seemingly at odds with her bright coloration.

Yeah, kwami don't have sexes or genders (though they do use gendered pronouns and have gender coding) and most people who don't know about the sexual dimorphism of peafowl don't realize peacocks are the males of the species. For the most part, peacocks are even considered feminine despite it being... not accurate in that regard.

But it'd be a cool way of hinting at a character trait. Duusu has all of the physical characteristics of a male peafowl (blue in color, impressive plumage), but uses she/her pronouns and is coded as a feminine character. Maybe this will be the case with Le Paon?

It'd be nice to see some representation on that front, though I feel it's a little too hopeful.
