There are certain set of pages on here where gender-specific pronouns where the subject is of an unknown gender or is specifically mentioned within the course of a story as having no gender, an example of both cases I have identified, the first is the page on Sentris, where we don't know Sentris' gender, yes in Neverland Sentris is played by India Fisher, but Sentris only takes Charley's form, so apart from referring to Charley, we shouldn't use her, etc, to reference Sentris. The other case's example is Christopher in Love and War, Christopher has no gender as referenced in the adventure as an accident from a drug, so Christopher's page shouldn't have he, etc, in relation To Christopher. Having recently listened to Neverland no gender is placed upon Sentris, apart from in referral to Sentris' appearance, and I will reread and re-listen to Love and War to check about Christopher, but I propose using Gender-Neutral pronouns, such as the singular they, or ones such as, Xi, Thon or Per.
