"She" vs "They" a very Queer story (Alarian)

My friend Flutistpride asked me to write a story about how Alarian came to the conclusion that they were nonbianary so here's some flashbacks to ten-fourteen year old Apprentice Alarian in Kichloch hold in the Circle of Magi's tower for Mages.

"What's SHE doing?!" Another apprentice says to their friend not exactly softly. I frown slightly and think about that word "She." That's not me. And yet, neither is "He." What's a compromise between those? Eh, who knows, and the subject slips my mind as I run off to my studies. But at random times it keeps running through my head, I can't concentrate. Later I breach the subject to my new(ish) and pretty much only friend, Jowan. He's a few years older then me, he's 14 and I'm only 10 but I'm almost 11. He says doesn't know what to think and tells me to go to bed. I'm just being weird. Well, your nice Jowan humph. As time goes on I become increasingly uncomfortable with the words "She,Her and Her's." They feel weird and distasteful to me. I breach the subject to my friend again and he says a word "Nonbianary." Intrigued I do some research and after a while I start to accept it, I am Nonbianary. Specifically between Agender and GenderFluid which mean the complete lack of gender identity or having it change from time to time, bring more girly sometimes and more boyish others, I'm more Agender but I just like wearing boys cloths. I also discovered some other things as time went on and because of health, my most dreaded subject. I am something called "Asexual", "Sex Repulsed" and "Demi/Grey Pan Romantic" which means I am not sexually attracted to anyone or think anyone is 'Hot' and am repulsed by the idea of sex. And I am Romantically attracted to people of all gender identities once I get to know them or rarely just by briefly knowing them, I have more of a preference to feminine/neutral identities though. I return to Jowan and thank him for telling me that word and the pronouns. "So, you want to use They,Them,Their pronouns?" Jowan asks uncertainly. I nod vigorously. Jowan replies with a simple "Ok. That's fine. I'd go tell people though so they know." And turns away back to his book. I then run out of the room and go find my professors and my two other friends, Cullen whose a Templar in training (kind of scared of him to be honest!) and this new kid named Anders, he's older then me too. I don't think he wants to be here, keeps trying to escape. I never tried escaping, I never knew what the outside world looked like, or I did but I don't remember it. I came here as a 2 year old so I don't know what the world is like, looks nice though, I think to myself as I sit by one of the barred windows on the third floor. I start daydreaming as I look at the lake and the shore beyond, maybe one day I'll get out of here, I'll have more friends and go on all sorts of adventures! I sigh, you can only dream so much right?

Fast forward to present times 

I sit by the fire late one night at the camp, staring into the embers. We're situated by kinchloch lake, I can see the tower siting in the middle. A dark spire looming ominously in the distance and then laugh to myself "Maybe one day I'll get out of here and go on adventures." Woah was I accurate or not!! Haha. I then walk into my tent and curl up under my covers trying to sleep for the few hours before dawn as best I can. What seems like 15 minutes later I feel a tap on my shoulder and then again and again and then suddenly I end op on the floor. Alistair. Of corse it would be Alistair, he looks down at me with that stupid smirk of his and offers his hand and help me up. I frown at him as he says "good morning my friend, sleep well? You look very happy today." I then proceed to chase him out of the tent and around the camp, Zevran, Morrigan, Leliana and Wynne watch curiously. After a little while I chase him down to the lake and he can't go anywhere so I push him in. Sten then pops out of nowhere, picks me up, and throws me in after Alistair!! I was wondering where Sten was. And then Dog shows up! The rest of my companions come down to where we were and are a bit skeptical of the entire thing but Wynne made cookies yesterday and brought them so it's fine. If you ever have a problem go see Grandma Wynne (she's a bit like my companions and my grandmother because she's older and cool and makes good food and likes to sometimes spoil us) and she'll make your day all better! Haha if I wrote a book is name it The Adventures of Alarian Cousland and their Dorky group of Companions! That would be great. Ahh, but thirteen year old me, you did good, and Jowan even though you tried to kill me, thanks.

The End!!

The dorkiness continues...

Did you get the references in the title?? Because Ali hates being called "she" unless your a close friend, don't know, or it makes you uncomfortable and Ali prefers "They" and their Ace and Demi-pan so Alis queer.

Until next time (Flutistpride I hope you liked it!!!)
