Hahaha OKAY--

Gosh, what else to talk about. Okay so Artair is trans! He leans somewhere in a wibbly masculine and nonbinary zone. He figured it out when he was seven or so, when his 'imaginary' friend Chelsea said something. Her, her brother Jerome, and Artair went to the lake in the park to swim and maybe catch frogs.

Jerome commented on not needing a top piece to his swimsuit because he was a boy, and Artair lamented that he wished he was one as well. Chelsea just kind of said 'well why not be one then?' and that was like-- turning the world on it's head for Artair. until then he didn't know that was even a possibility. Honestly he probably thought everyone who was a girl felt that way, any time he had the wish pop up in his brain, so her saying something was very eye-opening lol.

He did the research he could at the time, and brought it to his uncle, who did his best to support him and did his own research to try and understand it better. It took a while for them to make much traction due to the meager offerings Cadence had for anything in that vein, including from a medical standpoint. So they had to talk to doctors and psychs in other towns, some of which were difficult to work with or reluctant due to his age.

They persevered though! and Artair is much happier for it. He chose the name Artair because it was the less anglicized version of Arthur, and his family all had names somewhat dealing with Arthurian legend, so he wanted to keep that motif. He actually pronounced it wrong for a long time, and when he realized the right way to say it, it was already kinda stuck. So he goes by both Ar-taire, and Art-er. legally, he had his name and pronouns changed, and now in town Artair attends a group of several trans folk who all live in Cadence, so they can commiserate with someone who Gets It, or just in general hang out and have a nice time. It's how he met Axel and reconnected with Jace after high-school! They both enjoy it greatly, especially since the two also have a vested interest in supernatural as well, and Axel isn't shy to admit he works with less natural methods in the hopes of helping others.
