just had the thought that as Commander the Alliance can't keep calling him Eight, but he can't use his real name of Orradiz either or it'd reveal exactly what he's been up to for the past 20 years. I also headcanon that Echani, if male, due to archaic tradition must take on a female moniker if chosen to lead any grand clan or military group because leadership and might are seen as female roles in their society. Put two and two together and... Eight changes his name to a female one when playing the role of Commander: Yutorin. Only the Echani delegation refer to him as female in their letters, but to him, his role of Commander is a female persona regardless. (However, this results in a few confused mixups by staff who thought he was being misgendered in addresses).

#teehee. a little bit of echani gender role hcing #it matters very little in the scheme of things but i thought their society could be more matriarchal #and what better way than having every single one of your generals and leaders be female #it's the same idea as all military going by sir. more for show #also wanna say that it's not impossible for echani generals to retain their gender presentation but it's seen as more formal respected #to go by the gendered roles #oc: orradiz #commander eight au
