Alluka is Killua's little sister, making her the youngest, and possibly the strongest, of the Zoldyck family. The older siblings refer to her as their younger brother however Killua, who is extremely loving and protective of her, refers to her only as his younger sister.

Anonymous (Shimanami Tasogare - Manga) Nonbinary

Anonymous is the one who brings the whole group together and gives them a safe haven. They abandoned all labels and their name claiming none of that is who they are. Anonymous is a very relaxed character who refuses to get involved but will listen if you want to speak. They are highly respected, mysterious, and frustrating for most of the other characters because of their refusal to get involved with others. Anonymous doesn't like to admit it but they do actually care about the others.

    No slur is used towards character.
    Slurs are used in the manga.
    Character is not misgendered or called birthname
    Character does not die.
    Character is Asexual/Aromantic.
