I think maybe shell become reginas companion/familiar by turning into something by merging with pipi?
In a way, she did end up accompanying the party... I wonder who this new enemy is? Maybe it's someone who wasn't there in Artpe's first walkthrough?
LoL atm I fully believe the tin can guy is a dude. Sadly for him and artpe upgrading the armor backfires and genderbends its owner any times it's taken off...
I'm leaning more towards the idea that he was born a she and it was the armor's curse that transformed her into a him.
Thats another option, I just expect it to somehow backfire on artpe. My only reason for assuming that upgrading the curse genderbends armor dude is because artpe hasn't defined him as a female yet. And at this point, I doubt artpe would work so hard to add another chick to the gaggle he already has.
Well, his ability registers him as a guy, so there's no reason for Artpe to know if he was ever anything else. Though honestly, the main reason I'm leaning the other way is the prevalence of homophobia in most series on this site combined with the certainty that she'd get added to his harem if he actually did become a she.
But wouldn't he be able to see what all the curse does as well? I'm not saying your wrong because it rings true. I'm just not sure artpe would miss something significant like a person's original gender or rather nasty effect of a curse he plans to experiment on. Though there is always the possibility he just got lazy and didn't check, but with his current group dynamic I would hope he wouldn't leave that angle unexplored.
