#essembrae

ESSEMBRA [es-sem-bra] — a word for creatures who are living shadows, made up of shadow, and other variations. this is a name for the experience of being a living shadow, humanoid or otherwise. essembrae can choose to willingly use this term or not, but it should not be pushed upon one. (the plural form of this term would be essembrae.) etymology - esse from the latin word esse meaning "to be", mbra from the latin word umbra meaning "shade"

ESSEMBRIDEN [es-sem-bri-den] — a gender exclusive to those who are essembrae, this gender is outside of human experiences of gender, and is hard to describe with words used for human genders. this gender could be considered KEIN and/or ALHIN, depending on the user of the term. etymology - esse from the latin word esse meaning "to be", mbrae from the latin word umbra meaning "shade", and iden from the word identity

𑄺 ESSEMBRIMIN / ESSEMBRIMASC — a masculine-in-nature essembriden gender. this gender is still inherently under the essembriden gender, but in a way that feels like human/non-essembrae masculinity. this gender may still fall under being a KEIN/ALHIN gender if the user feels so.

𑄺 ESSEMBRIFIN / ESSEMBRIFEM — a feminine-in-nature essembriden gender. this gender is still inherently under the essembriden gender, but in a way that feels like human/non-essembrae femininity. this gender may still fall under being a KEIN/ALHIN gender if the user feels so.

𑄺 ESSEMBRININ / ESSEMBRINEU — a neutral-in-nature essembriden gender. this gender is still inherently under the essembriden gender, but in a way that feels like human/non-essembrae neutrality. this gender may still fall under being a KEIN/ALHIN gender if the user feels so.

these genders are exclusive to those who are essembrae!
