Brunnen-G and Sosiqui were two that, for some reason, I automatically assumed were male. I think it's mostly cleared up by now, though...

Don't feel bad, a *lot* of people thought Brunnen-G was male for months after she made her debut on the forum. In fact, it was almost half a year before she actually *did* reveal her gender on the forum...I'll never forget what an interesting day *that* was. heh.

And as for Sosi? Well, there is the fact that she, like Brunnen-G, took her name from a fictional alien race. Not that that really has anything to do with anything, but still, it's worth pointing out nonetheless.
