Jongler (they/them ; nonbinary)

- Zappers are a sexless species but because they're the only ones like that in TV World that means they still adherent to gender roles thus an assigned gender based on them. So Jongler was assigned to be male due to being perceived as masculine; however, they didn't like it. They never felt entirelly connected to masculinity but although they do like being feminine, it isn't enough for them to feel female either.

- They quickly came into this conclusion but didn't came out immediately; just giving hints n what not until they were comfortable enough to be publicly enby. This happened way too early before Battat even came to TV World.

Battat (he/him ; trans male)

- Pippins ARE a sexed species (w the typical male, female and intersex variations), but their dimorphism is very minimal which only matter if you're a bit intimate with them. This explains a bit about why Battat never realized he was trans, he only did when he started the Mike impersonation and was reffered with masculine honorifics and terms. It doesn't mean that he wasn't dysphoric however; he still is, but at least he can take advantage of his specie's gimmick and pass as male for quite a long time (plus I hc he does get on T in Castle Town :D)

- Battat thought for a long time he was gay (or at least only attracted to men) because he couldn't see himself dating a woman. This was caused by his dysphoria in some way, as he couldn't stand the thought of dating one if it meant that he had to be perceived as a girl as well. He changed his mind when he realized he still loved Pluey even after she came out as a trans woman to him.

Pluey (she/they ; trans female)

- Shadowguys are a predominantly male species, with shadowgals being a rare case. Pluey had never recall of seeing another shadowgal in her life, which only made her repression stronger. It wasn't until they realized Battat was transmasc that made them get that, if Battat could be a guy and enjoy being one, then they could just... stop being a guy if they felt empty about it. Everything went well and she's now happier than ever <3
