I'm loving Symphony of the Rose, particularly the latest episodes, but I had two points of confusion -- if anyone can answer these questions it would make a simple man very, very happy:

* What species is T'skaia Vorokoshiga'ar Ixtixtaaqitl't'chl'Vraihelt Ishkarat?
And does he or his species have an extra-UF existence?

* I thought -- perhaps naively -- that Edward was male... indeed I thought that other characters in SotR had *referred* to Edward as being male... yet here (s)he is referred to specifically as being female. Was I just confused? Or were you purposefully muddying the waters, o Great Continuity Editor Gryphon?

Thanks in advance --

K.R.N.
