The older adult form of Princess Shokora is referred to as her ātrueā form, while the young princess form is the one most commonly used to depict her. Her adult form is notably more butch, with short hair, pants, and a cape, while her young princess form is a more traditional princess look.
Iāve decided to interpret this as perhaps a form of lgbtq+ censorship probably by the ones who discovered her kingdom. Since she and her kingdom have been gone for a long time, there is probably not much known about her. Perhaps she was sapphic and butch, but that was hidden by the historians who discovered her kingdom by only depicting her when she was younger and fit into a more stereotypically feminine role. Perhaps very few people even know that she survived into adulthood at allā¦
#devin speaks#super mario headcanons#me when my hcs start inventing queerphobia in the mario universe djbcjdchg#though i guess with cases like vivian where her sisters made fun of her gnc-ness i guess some form of queerphobia must already exist?#unless her sisters are the exception and not the norm? (idk much about paper mario yet djcbjdbdh)#i meanā¦. with how often the bros cross dress and no one seems to care perhaps queerphobia really *isnāt* the normā¦ā¦ā¦.#or perhaps it *is* usually frowned upon but the bros have Special Treatment as the heros#hard to say for sure#anyway i just wanted to come up with an in-universe explanation for why shokoraās true form doesnt seem to be treated as such#also make her butch sapphic cause i love queer hcs <3#im pretty sure the meta reason was probably to keep that form a secret since its only obtained after getting all the collectibles#so they used the āsecond bestā form to depict her in official art#and it probably just stuck#also the young princess form looks most similar to the mario princesses so it was probably also for some kind of continuity amongst them
