Your series is fantastic. My only question is how exactly is the reader pretending to be a male?
thank you very much!!! no worries my friend, it’s understandable how you might’ve missed the little things i’ve dropped in but there have been little clues !
truly the reason you can actually get away with your lie is because you started when you were so young— back at the age where boys and girls don’t look too different from one another.
but beyond that, in one of the early chapters it’s mentioned that you cut your hair short, shaved it all the way down to the skin - later on it’s mentioned that you have it in a similar style to cassian, on the longer side. still the way males keep their hair though. on top of that, there’s a few mention of bindings on your chest— indicating you wrap your chest to keep it as flat as possible.
there are things that should give you away— like your height and such— but because you’re a bastard, nobody paid enough attention when one female went missing and a male showed up in their place. a lot of the muck and mud of the mountains helps to cover your scent and there’s also some mention on how you delayed your cycle for as long as possible (like mor did in the books)
because it’s basically a mulan au we’re running with the fact she tied her hair up and put on some armour and nobody knew lmao
you get away with it because no one is expecting it — and so no one is looking closely enough! you’re a respected enough warrior that you can keep your distance during your cycle now and the other warriors won’t bother you, but you can’t complete in the blood rite because the risk of being exposed is too high.
i hope that answers the question!
