It's Menphina! *tumbleweed*

But seriously, if Nael was always a female then why do none of the scions speculate as such as though it was never a possibility? It's such a bizarre thing still to this day, how vaguely it's talked about, and what a big deal the unmasking is supposed to be. The dialogue doesn't make sense to me for a localisation cover-up, and unless Nael being trans/intersex is actually a thing (which is still extremely sketchy) the only theory I can put the slightest bit of faith in is that it's the appearance of someone significant to him, mother/Bradamante/whatever, and his "reanimation" was influenced by a final longing for them in some way. Which is poetic, but by the end of 1.X Nael is completely off the rails, so beats me.
