OOC and Character Creation

Of course, think about it. Being trans and being GNC are different things, but understanding and self-acceptance don't come overnight, at least not for everyone.

About the father, it's up to you to decide of course, but I don't really see why the father needs to have been dead for so long? Or at all? Especially if your lady's goal (going with lady for now) had been to defy him and piss him off. He could have "assigned" the manservant to watch over her long ago. Even if he'd been (or still is) disapproving, he could've still loved her and worried about her.
... And how her reputation reflects on him and the rest of the family. Having a trusted servant with her would have been essential for damage control.

He looks like he's Seen Things XD

Just a couple of things. I've been thinking about the Other Gear, since you only get two slots. Instead of Travelling Clothing, maybe you would prefer to take Luggage, which would contain any necessities a reasonable person might be carrying. Like a change of clothes (including your good overcoat and boots), some writing paper, a pocket knife, etc. I won' allow you to pull out 50 feet of hempen rope and a set of lockpicks, but I also won't be counting your socks. That goes for Bowl's gear as well.

The other thing is, I'd like you to decide who's carrying the letter of recommendation and the spell, and we should keep track of them if you split up.

ha, very good. Luggage sounds good, will tweak now.

I would say the letter and the spell would not be left in the care of a manservant.

happy to carry the spell

Welcome, Maximilian!
Everything looks in order, except the Other Gear. You've only put down one piece of Other Gear, and you get two. I've suggested "luggage" being one of them, as a very general way of saying you have enough clothes, personal grooming implements and other travelling necessities with you. The other "item" can be something more specialised (an heirloom, a piece of jewelry, a weapon, a specific book, a set of tools etc.). You could also leave it empty for now and decide on it later.

Yea, I couldn't come up with something else. The "Change of Clothes" was mostly meant to be for switching between male and female, so I put it as a separate thing. I could use luggage as the other gear, I suppose?

I've also thought some more about what way to go with the gender and what I settled on for play is that I'll be using male pronouns when they present as a man and female when presenting as a woman. I think they're maybe more comfortable presenting as a man but don't mind presenting as a woman either.
I'd assume Edward probably just thinks of them as a woman, but those details are up to B.

Merry Christmas (or whatever seasonal holiday it is at your neck of the woods)! You have your opening post. I was wondering whether you'd have your own coach or ride around with the post, but I decided that having your own transportation would be more convenient. It's not an adventure-breaking advantage and Calstock should be able to afford it.
