Ursheen is such a little enigma. Does she not speak because of disability or does she just not want to? Is Ursheen a she? Ursheen is referred to as "goddess" but never by any pronouns. Ursheen could be they, he, ze, xe, ey. There's no canonically wrong or right pronoun. Does Ursheen have a gender?? I don't understand her and I feel like she knows this and does it on purpose. I can respect that.

DAY 45: take this transcript for a comic i was going to make… that i didn’t finish (ursheen is selectively mute here)
ALL: [tense silence]
REKO: i’m disbanding the band.
ALL: [tense silence 2]
URSHEEN: …what?
STRONGHOLD: ursheen… [he reaches a hand out to her]
URSHEEN: [she pulls away] no!
URSHEEN: you cant disband the band!
REKO: …
URSHEEN: after everything we’ve gone through,
URSHEEN: everything we’ve done for this,
URSHEEN: you’re just leaving us behind?
REKO & STRONGHOLD: …
URSHEEN: …
URSHEEN: is this because of alice?
STRONGHOLD: ursheen, don’t—
URSHEEN: it’s because of alice.
REKO: [she sighs and puts her head in her hand]
URSHEEN: he’s in jail and you just cant *stand* having to deal with his “project” anymore.
URSHEEN: i cant…. believe you!
URSHEEN: [she’s getting antsy and begins getting up. stronghold tries to reach out to keep her in her seat but she evades him]
URSHEEN: alice worked so hard for this and youre just destroying it?
URSHEEN: your brother is in jail and you’re destroying one of the many things he’s done for you?
URSHEEN: one of your only ways of bonding— one of the only things you’ve appreciated of him and he has taken pride in?!
URSHEEN: you’re cutting off all contact — any reminder of him — completely!
URSHEEN: [she’s moving towards reko, getting closer to her face. she’s selectively mute, so it’s the only way she can raise her voice]
URSHEEN: were you just here because you didn’t want alice to complain?
URSHEEN: do you not even care about us?
URSHEEN: we obviously know you don’t care about alice.
STRONGHOLD: ursheen, come on. reko is—
URSHEEN: stronghold, you know i’m right!
URSHEEN: how many times did we have to convince alice reko still loved him?
URSHEEN: how many times did she act as if she wasn’t his sister?
STRONGHOLD: …
URSHEEN: i don’t understand… you didn’t care about him at all.
URSHEEN: i mean, hell, i was a better sister to him than you were!
REKO: [she still has her face in her hands, leaning against the doorframe]
URSHEEN: why don’t you say anything??
URSHEEN: reko, look at me!
URSHEEN: [she grabs her wrist to move her hand out of her face]
REKO & URSHEEN: [they struggle for a moment before ursheen finally pulls her hands away from her face]
REKO: [she is crying]
URSHEEN: [her grip on her loosens and her anger/sadness quickly dissipates]
STRONGHOLD: reko, listen—
REKO: [with ursheen’s faltering, reko pulls her hands away and pushes her back]
REKO: get your shit out of the studio by tonight.
REKO: [she storms off]
STRONGHOLD: [he moves up and grabs ursheen’s shoulder]
URSHEEN: [she just trails off. back to being mute. this is why she doesn’t open her mouth.]
