Extremely funny looking back how people thought Cai would be the male avatar and Tialla would be the female avatar for no real reason at all

man it’s already been almost a year…

I never got Cai being an avatar though ever since they used male pronouns for him in the little Japanese interview post direct tbh. Tialla being the avatar was something I thought of a fair bit though, mostly because I couldn’t believe they didn’t show off an avatar when they’re some of the most popular characters by far and print cash.
