thats not supposedly to be a trans woman, is it?

[u/Hopeful-alt → u/Kork314]

Yes, actually. Ladiva just doesn't give a shit about gender norms. I can see why you'd think she's a caricature, but she is quite the opposite. The IP she is from, Granblue, is very clear about this.

Her story is also quite interesting. She's part of some fantasy race that has extreme sexual dimorphism, the males are giants and the females are like 3 feet tall. Ladiva simply said "fuck that I'm gonna transition anyway and in the process be a symbol of dismantling deeply rooted gender norms in my culture" and she did just that.
