bjornwildeFor the next bit of Izana's canon write up, I was going to have them describe things that happened with Nagate to some friends instead of rewriting the events shown on screen. I've also been wanting to include more bigendered people since Izana is the only one in the anime. Of course, this now means I have to invent people.
My first thought was to look to famous Japanese transgender folks and base the characters off of them as a sort of homage, but quickly decided that was a bad idea. I don't know enough about these people or their struggles to truly honor them and it would likely come across as appropriation. So I scrapped that.
I have new names now, thanks to a random name generator paired with baby name meaning websites and one friend has become three. Now I need to look into anime/manga archetypes to decide on basic personalities.
Maybe I'll tag Rollo some and return to the research later.
PS: This may seem like complaining, but I am enjoying the research and care this character is requiring of me.
