::That's what I gathered from the prior edit. The current configuration is super confusing to me as a reader who hasn't read the Cwej series stuff. Again, the people who are actually up to date will know best on how to present the material, but I think that if you mention her being a Cwejen in the lead it should (also) be sourced to the first story in which she's stated to be one (imo). And the standard human template/Cwej nuances strike me as useful to discuss. As a reader who's not up to date on the issue. I fully admit my own limitations here.

Clarifying Cwejen status
Might I suggest that the article lead emphasize the original source that says Christine is a Cwej? It's none of the four stories cited in the lead, and it's confusing. As written, it suggests that BotW or Dead Romance are saying that she's a Cwej, and they absolutely do not. An earlier edit suggested this was The Five Christinas, but this claim was removed from the page and replaced with a more in depth discussion of the story. Having not read the story, I can't comment, but if it's the case that this is the first place her being a Cwej is mentioned, I'd suggest that we highlight this fact.

- Yes, it originates in The Five Christinas, which de facto presents her as a Cwej by having her be present in a situation where five female Cwejen have been pulled together from across time and space due to… something-or-other; I forget the details. That being said, it's building on the mention in Dead Romance that Christin was grown from a "standard human template" in the Great Houses' databanks, which I think it is fair to argue was a literary antecedent to the proper introduction of the Cwejen, even if I am doubtful that it was the intent upon introducing the Cwejen to retcon Christine as having been one (since BotW says nothing of the idea of female Cwejen, a much later confabulation).

- I have now added the correct citation after the statement, it must have been missed in the expansion where I changed some things around in the article. DrWHOCorrieFan ☎ 08:33, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
