Really stupid question, but are Sora or Arin ever referred to with they/them in Dragons Rising? I recall having heard rumours of this around when the show was first releasing, but I can't tell if it's actually the case or if it was just somebody's headcanon.
Kinda curious as to what Ninjago's gotten up to representation-wise these days, especially since I heard there was a Hijabi character at some point.
No stupid questions in my inbox :)
(From you, at least)
None of the new main characters in DR use they/them pronouns, sadly.
There is one episode with a non-binary background character. I don't think their pronouns are used in dialogue, and I don't remember them being named, but...

...the arm flags pretty hard to miss. Again, they are just a background character in a single episode, but they're there.
Euphrasia's probably the Hijabi character you heard about. She wore a hood/hijab type garb in srason 1, but she seems to have stopped wearing it in season 2, so it seems to be a 'no' on that end.
(Might be for the best. I'm not an expert on muslim characters, but Euphrasia is one of the Writer of Destiny, who you may remember from season 5, and I did see a post going around expressing concern about having the only notably Muslim-coded character being strongly affiliated with what basically amounts to a fake religion. Would be very cool for a different character to wear a hijab, though.)
Lego does seem to be going for more curly hairstyles in general though, so that's cool.

(Arin and Euphrasia. Yes, that was the best season 2 image I could find of her on Google images.)
I know Dreamzzz has got some more curly hairstyles, and there's a main character with vitiligo. I know that's not Ninjago, but it is Lego.
Oh, and in case you missed what was going on in later seasons of the original Ninjago, there was one scene in the last season where a named side charater (Sally) had a Quasar flag on her guitar:

And now you're all caught up.
