    do female blessed siblings exist? can there be male/female blessed siblings?

    i got curious since the only blessed siblings we see are gjj, bjj, and the guy we slaughter like a pig in the wanderer's palace and they are all male. there is dimorphism among the mamool ja (they have softer and rounder heads with softer eyes)

    There's no notion of mixed-gender blessed siblings in the story, but knowing what I do about biology and genetics (which is approximately 'I know more than you might expect but don't bring me to quiz night as your Biology Facts Girl') tells me that it'd require some sort of genetic disorder on top of being a blessed sibling; something like Klinefelter Syndrome.

    So it probably happened, like, once. And given the general success rate of blessed siblings, it probably didn't end well.

    Bakool Ja Ja mention sisters when talking about all this dead siblings, so we know female blessed siblings are possible. "Have any ever actually survived past infancy?", is an unknown.

    As for mixed gender, who knows? Instinctively I want to say "no, conjoined twins don't work like that", but we're also talking about literal magic, so all bets are off.

    IRL conjoined twins can't have different biological sexes (they can be different genders though, look up Lori and George Schappell); but then, IRL conjoined twins are all identical twins, which Blessed Siblings definitely are not. The closest IRL analogue would be, I guess, conjoined twins but with chimaerism. So possibly you could have an intersex body that has one male head and one female head.
