Love it. Going in for the second play through but stumbled across something I'm curious about. On my first playthrough, for no particular reason, I went with a non-binary (going by they) Crown who was attracted to both men and women. In that I noticed that Xelara was a women, as was Lady Rozerin, and Dara and Azad were both men. And going by the lovely artwork on this page I figured that those were the genders they were originally intended to be and/or written as. For my second playthrough I wanted to switch things up (naturally) so I went with a male Crown, but I wanted to stick with the dynamic I had before since I was attached to the crew like that so I again picked to be attracted to both men and women thinking that everyone would be the same as before. 

But, I noticed that Xelara and Dara had flipped genders. Which made me curious about whether or not Xelara was strictly homosexual (the princess ex and "you sedoosed my mum!!!"  guy were also big hints) and Dara straight or something and it just doesn't apply in a situation where the Crown is nonbinary. So then I tried to do it with a female Crown, again attracted to both men and women. That time it was Rozerin and Azad's turn to flip.

 So now I'm wondering if it's set up like Rozerin and Dara are straight and will always be the opposite gender of the Crown and Xelara and Azad are gay and will always be the same gender as the Crown. Is that right? Or am I reading to much into it? Also sorry for writing so much! to be fair though I had to read way more of your writing so I guess karma do be a bitch like that sometimes lol.

Reading way too much into it. All the LIs are bisexual regardless of their gender or the Crown's gender. The LIs switch randomly between genders for bisexual Crowns just because I figured that would keep things interesting. 

Also, an important point I want to make: the LIs do not have "canon" genders. I always intended them to have both male and female versions. The reason those versions are in the artwork is because those are the ones I just happened to commission first. Playing with Xelef is just as canon as playing with Xelara, etc.

Aha that's just how I roll (especially nowadays) ^^.  I thought it could just be for replayability's sake too. And that's fair enough,  I didn't mean to imply that they're not canon or anything, of course. Now super interested to see the inverse artwork. Thanks for the response. Oh and keep up the good work!
