Basically. These 2 are talking bugs who have been transported to the human world and become humans. Thoran is a dobsonfly and Magus is a stickbug. Dobsonflies are very gendered and males develop very long floppy mandibles while females get short jaws that are very sharp and can draw blood. Thoran is AMAB and has always struggled to get other bugs to recognize her as a woman due to her dimorphic features. So she's stoked to be a human, since all that is gone! She doesn't have to worry about "passing" when everyone is so accepting around her!

As for Magus I imagine he and Thoran are friends; Thoran rescued Magus' son Fulgor from pirates so Magus trusts her very much. They're pals! I think of Thoran as like an honorary aunt to Fulgor-- she is not related to either of them, but she is there to support them. Magus is about 45 yrs old, and he spent roughly 1/3 of those years isolated after losing his wife. His heart still belongs with her, but I think eventually he's able to come out of his shell enough to be attracted to other people again.
