Talk:Lauda

Gender
How come Lauda is listed as male? Based on their physical appearance and more importantly their name, it seems to me like Lauda would be female. GodKingReiss (talk) 01:48, April 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * If I'm not mistaken, he is referred to by male pronouns. We don't decide a character's gender based on their looks or name, as those can be unreliable methods; especially when it comes to fictional characters. As I can't read or speak Japanese, it's possible that Isayama wasn't the one to even decide this character's gender. But unless there is some evidence to show otherwise, it'll stay this way. That being said, I personally think he looks like a guy. o_o EternalLocket (talk) 05:23, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

Possibly Incorrect
I've re-read Chapter 35 numerous times, and not once have I seen any indication that Lauda is in the chapter. The character in the current profile picture appears, but he/she is never referred to by name. What's more, when Lauda does appear in Chapter 43, he/she is depicted with brown hair, rather than blond hair. Also, while I'm here, I guess I'll just ask: how was it determined that Lauda is female?--Neetaku (talk) 19:08, December 22, 2016 (UTC)


 * Lauda's appearance in Chapter 35 was determined by Hfc2x years ago. I never questioned it, but after noting the difference in apparent hair color, it's likely this was a faulty connection on his part.


 * Also, Lauda is a girl's name, and her Chapter 43 appearance gives her a notably feminine appearance, despite only seeing her profile. More faulty reasoning on Hfc2x's part.


 * Essentially, the true Lauda should be described in the article as a female team leader who appeared during the fight with the Colossus Titan, and that's it, with no faulty connections to Mike's team or the Battle for Shiganshina. --GodKingReiss (talk) 00:22, December 23, 2016 (UTC)
