Very much like the old-school D&D gynosphinx, with a love of knowledge, and a lack on anyone on it's level to talk to.

They can't eat *every* humanoid they come across!

I've known people who spelled it each way. And a male prof with that name who hated people assuming he was a she

strangely, when I chose a pen name I took "Felix" which is really a guy's name, so I must enjoy the ambiguity.

It's a good name with a good meaning though. That helps. And ambiguity is a hallmark of the internet.
