I checked it out in Japanese, and she's a known thing over there, too. Her dialogue is "半年前はカラテおうだったのに医学の力ってスゲーよね！" ("I was a Black Belt six months ago, but medicine sure is amazing!") or something very like it.

Okay, I'm assuming it's not appropriate to have a debate about whether or not she could possibly be trans in the edit summary field, so could we do that here? | |||
I don't see why there is any reason to assume she isn't, and there's plenty of reason to assume she is: | |||
* Black Belts are an all-male class; the name in Japanese is カラテおう="Karate King"--not something you could call a lady... | |||
* In the Japanese dialogue she mentions having undergone medical therapy. | |||
* The change is notable enough for her to talk about it? One would think she wouldn't care to mention it if she'd just gone from a sporty jock girl to a fashionable one in a few months. | |||
Like, aside from assuming that GF/Nintendo are so transphobic that they would veto any trans representation, no matter how subtle, I don't see why there should be any doubt. And that's a pretty unfair assumption to make of the Japanese devs. [[User:Nazerine|Nazerine]] ([[User talk:Nazerine|talk]]) 21:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC) | |||
