Mizu’s relationship with their gender is very very complicated and we MUST acknowledge that.

No one should have to justify why they think Mizu is one thing or the other, because Mizu’s past, their environment (how it treats women) and their negative associations with being a woman, can easily make a case for Mizu wanting to be a woman, or for Mizu preferring to be a guy. If I see ANY of you get mad at people for thinking Mizu is either a strictly a man or strictly a woman, or something out of the binary, I am going to GET you.

Any HC to do with Mizu’s gender has narrative merit and importance to Mizu’s character, and one does not make Mizu less complex than the other. One does not make less sense than the other. One does not MEAN less than the other. And even if it’s not about the narrative significance of them being trans or cis, and it’s more about how you think the character is coded, or even just their vibes, that’s fine too. A HC doesn’t need a justification.

#blue eye samurai #mizu blue eye samurai #mizus gender is an enigma and a mystery. mizu is gender apathetic. to ME. mizu couldn’t care less.#that said. trauma related to gender doesn’t automatically cause someone to be trans. likewise however trauma related to gender doesn’t mean #they’ll wanna be their birth gender once they past their trauma. as Mizu is now #we can’t be sure and that’s fine.#the trauma of being a woman can also be very very separate from Mizu wanting to be trans too btw. like there’s a thousand different ways #you can spin this and they would all be satisfying to Mizu as a character.
