[makes another tsuna AU] HELP ME

A Fem!Tsuna! Since the point was 'what if KHR starred a female protagonist', I had to restructure her personality and appearance; the entire point of the series was that Tsuna is a collection of traits that are undesirable in men (scrawniness, not handsome, not visibly manly enough, cowardly, a layabout, can't make up his mind, unintelligent, no aspirations, terrible coordination). Stuff like being bad at studying, clumsiness, cowardice, and fretfulness are all traits that are often forgiven in young girls, so I just had to scrap half of it.

As a female protagonist, she's very unremarkable-looking, a slob, has a very low-energy and lazy personality, doesn't favour cute things or makeup, acts very brazen and abrupt when frightened, and has no skill in feminine hobbies. Just a base rate of things that aren't favoured in the 'feminine ideal'.

Her character arc is a bit more...constructive than canon!Tsuna's? Teenage girls are always under a lot of pressure. I notice that characters always start in on Tsuna trying to get him to be 'manlier', but stop focusing on it the longer they're exposed to him (excluding his father). While that is nice, Tsuna isn't really under overwhelming social pressure to be manly, and the 'manly ideal' is fulfilled with the HDW mode anyway. It's not really efficient as a character arc story. Meanwhile, being efficient and cool and powerful doesn't make a girl anymore...ungirly. It just makes her awesome. And that is the story we NEED.

Her Terrible Pun Nickname is Yuutsuna (Yuutsu (gloomy/meloncholy) + Tsuna). Her name uses the same kanji as canon Tsuna's (which means rope, line, or cord when read that way; when read as 'kou', it typically refers to the main subject, general outline, the focus of a topic. The More You Know.)

She is like, super, super gay for Kyoko.

Just like every other Tsuna I write, she's DMAB (Designated Male At Birth) & intersex. It's my headcanon and there's no feasible reason to change it just because she's a girl
