Solton (he/him) is transgender FtM (as seen by having lined horns, which is a representation of biological sex for hellborn demons) and gay.

- Someone who is transgender identifies as a different gender than their sex assigned at birth. FtM stands for female to male, as in someone who was born labeled female but later transitioned to male, and MtF is the other way around. Transgender does not necessarily denote someone who transitioned between the binary genders as it is an umbrella term for all non-cis gender identities as well.

- Someone who is gay is attracted to members of their own sex (gay usually refers specifically to men who are attracted to other men, but this is not always the case as it can be used as a general term for sexuality).

Scabs (he/they) is panromantic (though the pansexual flag was used for simplicity) and asexual. Pinwheel (the rat) is not queer btw bc he is a rat but he is an ally (as much as a literal rat can be).

- Someone who is pansexual/panromantic is someone who is attracted to all genders without a preference. Being panromantic specifies that the person is attracted romantically to all genders, but not necessarily sexually.

- Someone who is asexual does not experience sexual attraction nor sexual desire. This is a spectrum though and can vary from person to person.

Robin (she/they) is queer.

- Queer is a general term for someone who is not heterosexual/cisgender and is a more broader term people can identify with if they do not want to use specific labels. Because ‘queer’ used to be an insult against LGBT+ people, some people are still against its use but it has been widely reclaimed by the community and specifically identifying as queer has become more normalized and accepted in recently years.
