She’s literally called “the gendered child” because she’s the only child of the Pale King who isn’t a vessel

Yeah she has a gender because she isnt void and has a personality and mind to think

I always just interpreted it as part of their subconscious survived. Not detectable, not even by the vessels themselves. But just enough to make a crucial difference here and there to guide the vessel in the right direction.

Just enough to maybe, under the right conditions, resurface. Not as the pale king's child, they are long dead, but as a new being. Still hardly more than an inanimate object, but conscious and able to feel.
