"I've picked up an analogy in my years of public speaking. It's one of the ways I describe the trans experience to audiences of largely cis people. I ask them to imagine that they are a can of lentils. (Bear with me here.) So, there you are, chilling out. Doing what canned lentils do. Then someone comes along, opens the cupboard, picks you up, and slaps a label on you that says 'coconut milk'.
Okay. You don't really know what to do. Obviously, you are not coconut milk - you know this intuitively But there's no way to prove your lentilness for certain, unless someone opens you up and peers inside. But they're sure going to be disappointed if they try to add you to a pina colada mix!
The trans experience isn't the process of lentils trying to become coconut milk, or vice versa. It's just a matter of changing the label on the outside, so people know what's inside. Sometimes to change that label, people go through surgeries, or hormones. Sometimes they just get a haircut and make a Facebook post. All it really takes is for people to just believe them when they say, 'I'm not coconut milk, and I never was. And next time, can you ask me before you try and label me?'"

I love your OC's design
Please infodump about them
Their name is Nanno Metamorphose. They’re a 19 year old changeling engineer/inventor whose work motto is pretty much “fuck around and find out”. A lot of trial and error. Due to their impulsive and reckless nature they tend to not heed warnings or read instructions. Whatever works, works. What doesn’t? Welp, now we know.
The trademark for their work is how they utilize magic items in their machinery (magic crystals, plants, etc). The idea that science and magic can’t coexist is stupid to them. Their favorite invention is their big robo-gecko buddy Codex.
^ Codex doubles as both a companion and a weapon.
Nanno is a college reject who secretly lives in Zana’s dorm and tinkers away all day. When they’re not in the dorm they’re either defacing Zana’s college campus with graffiti, or listening in on student drama. They like to transform into students and make the drama worse for funsies.
Nanno speaks with a lot of slang and likes to playfully tease people. The voice I’ve always had in mind for them is Anna Akana’s. Characters their design is inspired by are Donnie from ROTMNT, Jinx from Arcane, Sasha from Amphibia, and Peridot from SU
Codex is inspired by Vah Rudania from BOTW
