Glad to see everyone here! I'll be looking over sheets here shortly, but ultimately I'd like to wait on Drag's final say since they might have a different insight into a character then I do. 

[@MissCapnCrunch] Well I made my Big Bad Wolf female so if I said no I'd be setting a double standard. I'm not sure what Drag has to say on the matter, but they didn't take any issue when I did it. So I'll say that players can gender bend fairy tale characters, especially if they're unspecified or vague in gender, but it has to be for some kind of reason or at least have an interesting application. 

	For example I changed the Big Bad Wolf into a girl to get across how skewed the fairy tale was from the actual events that played out to show how it was more or less a frame job by Little Red. So the gender change had a narrative purpose of sorts. Plus I feel with beast/animal Tales it's easier to justify a gender bend since, let's be honest, it'd be easy to assume the gender of a dragon or even a talking wild animal unless it clearly stated what it was. It's not like Zoologists prance around the fields of fairy tale land lifting up the legs of woodland creatures.

	Since Bambi is an animal [s](and has a name that could pass for a girls)[/s] you could potentially get away with it. However I'd prefer if players didn't just change the gender of a character because they feel they can't play as a boy or a girl. 

	Don't run away from opportunities to write and experiment with new or unfamiliar types of characters. If you're aiming for a specific behavior or feel for a character, then at the end of the day gender is usually superfluous outside of physical appearances and details regarding biology. 

	Boys and girls can be loving, carrying, violent, psychotic, possessive, greedy, selfish, self serving, noble, self sacrificing, and countless other things. The only difference is that one can pee standing up and the other can wear dresses.

	However if it's a matter of "I feel I'd have more fun with this character if they were a girl or a boy, est" then we can work something out. Ultimately me and Drag want to encourage interesting writing and for everyone to have fun with their characters.
