#it could be it/its or xem/xir or no prounouns ar all. & I can’t figure out if it’s most accurate to use They since the stat sheet does

Me trying to figure out what tf Astolfo’s pronouns are
#I have seen characters in G/O use He - She - /and/ they. but Astolfo never uses any personally#the facts use ‘they’. BUT in one dialogue in English Astolfo calls themself ‘he’ BUT that’s an incorrect translation of the Japanese where#they use 3rd person and just use their own name. no pronoun. And I can’t remember Astolfo ever correcting anyone or using a pronoun for#themself in Apocrypha I mean also I don’t speak Japanese so totally they could & it just wasn’t in my subs. BuT circling back the#translation while not accurate is still official for US fgo.#I have no problem with they obviously the thing is just I’ve never heard Alstolfo use ‘they’ either—I’ve never heard Astolfo use /anything/#it could be it/its or xem/xir or no prounouns ar all. & I can’t figure out if it’s most accurate to use They since the stat sheet does#or He since there’s one use of Astolfo’s for it that is half-canon. OR if I should just write my sentences to completely avoid pronouns when#possible. like does it matter? would Astolfo care? probably not. but I still want to know!!!#I-I /think/ in Extella Astolfo uses ‘he’ some? but G/O uses They. so is He/They accurate or is one or the other a translation error?#I mean a Nonbinary King regardless I just genuinely want to know#although I have a sneaking suspicion if I asked Astolfo would be like ‘Haha that all works! Ooh! I’m gonna add five new ones!’#and I’d be like ‘do you care which is used most?’ and Astolfo would go ‘Haha! Nope!’ & run off to buy slushie#G/O also uses She a LOT. but the stat sheets & Astolfo never have to the best of my knowledge??? BUT Astolfo has called themself a maiden#before (among many other gendered terms for fun so obviously they don’t care). I just want to know because I am curious#Astolfo tell me your riddles please#Alstolfo are your pronouns Short/King? Or Bae/Material? or M/VP?#I love that little pink haired spirit#does this matter at all? no. not really. do I still want to know bc Astolfo facts bring joy? yes very much
