Description
Why not? We don't know Birdo's background (Especially after they retconned it so Birdo was actually a girl). For all we know she was a princess herself... Or maybe she's just jealous at the attention the other princesses are getting. Or maybe just caught raiding Peach's wardrobe.Honestly, we actually don't know much about Birdo. Is she a singular dino, a race like Yoshi? Hell, is Birdo a female of Yoshi's race?? (Like that's too weird?? After all Yoshi is a guy but lays eggs). I mean given how limited our knowledge is of femmes in the SMB universe... The only ones who appear outside of the Paper Mario games are Peach and Daisy (Both humans, unlike EVERYONE else), Birdo, and Toadette (Who for some reason reminds me of Smurfette. I mean seriously, short, the only female in a bunch of males with a male patriarch. You'd think she'd be running the show or something. The only examples we have of such extreme sex imbalances are in insect life, where the one female is the "queen" and essentially sits around all day making babies and every whim catered to by working males.... Oy, I'm really overthinking this now, aren't I?). If you add in Paper Mario, you get a femme of every species it seems. From Ms. Mouz to Bombette to Gombette to even female koopas. Makes me wonder if the SMB world females are just so much less aggressive then the males, or if Bowser is just sexist in his recruiting tactics or something...
Wait, what was I talking about? Oh, the picture. Sorry. Either way, I added some shiny effect to try and give it a satiny look, as well as added some egg symbols to reflect her "aspect" (Daisy and Peach both have a flower-like broach on their chest. I expanded on that a little). But overall I tried to keep it close to Daisy and Peach's "princess" gowns. Tho technically her gloves should be white for that....

Lessons Learned: That head angle was actually harder to get then one would expect. So were the hands. Overall tho this picture came together very quickly and I'm extremely happy with it.

I think they just referred to Birdo as female, because it's considered polite to refer to transgenders by their preferred sex (looks like Nintendo's more progressive than I thought), or maybe he can the gender reassignment surgery. Also, like Yoshi, Birdo is also the name of her species.

It's a lot more complex than that, but it's irrelevant right now. Fort the purposes of my art, Birdo is a femme, because that's the way I wanted to draw her. Simple as that.

Two questions: One, why do you keep ending your comments with - Polecat? Two, did you not read what I said about her species?

Because I chose to sign my posts, and I read it, and, as I said before, I don't care. I chose to represent this character in the way I did, and I'm kinda tired of dealing with people who wanna argue about it.

"Deposed" means removed from power, not killed.

I see this RIGHT AFTER I clear Plum Park. This ruined the concert for me, but I remember the jazzhand Koopa Troopas fondly.

Nicely done!
I also believe she is a race like Yoshi. Birdo we know and love is said to be male at birth, female at heart. If that's true and this Birdo is Yoshi's mate, then that would make Yoshi gay? MORE THEORIES!

TCPolecat7 In reply to Makuzex [2016-02-24 02:02:28 +0000 UTC]
Maybe, maybe not. If Birdo is a full race/species, then there's plenty of room for variety. Plus, I suppose technically Yoshi should be female anyway...Β males don't normally lay eggs.

If Birdo feels that she's a girl, she's a girl. Doesn't matter what the continuity is or what her biological sex is. :v

TCPolecat7 In reply to PolarNothingness [2015-02-22 21:05:22 +0000 UTC]
That's one perspective on it. Tho admittedly I draw her as if she were biologically femme too.
