Birds, as a group, have a wide range of colorations, but the general trend is: if one is drab, and the other is colorful, the colorful one is the male.

That, and avians, like the birds that inspired them, don’t really have a lot of surface gender expression in their appearance – at least, not any that most humans (myself included) would bother to try and sniff out, or even pay attention to in passing – which, to be sure, doesn’t encourage recognition of that fact.

That said, excluding a brief bit of innuendo and a spare few disparaging remarks, the plot doesn’t overtly pay attention to it, either.

Gondolessa’s character is actually kind of rare in any media, in the sense that it could count as “covert passing” instead of “overt representation”, and in that the audience still has a way to notice this.

Wait… Gondolessa is male? I don’t think I ever figured that out. I think the name sounds so feminine that ignored any overtly male traits.

Not the first or last time she is savvy enough to jump boat and come back later to save everybody’s else bacon.
Well, not fast enough this time.

There’s also the pigtails on the fleeing silhouette of Bandit.

If there’re growing pains here, it’s definitely not on the part of the artist…the details are quite clear.
