Has anyone seen a female charr?

Abedeus · Dec 06, 2009, 07:02 AM // 07:02

Has anyone ever seen a female dwarf?

Tip - If Pratchett has taught us anything, is that dwarfs and trolls are really hard to tell when it comes to gender. Probably same in GW with dwarfs and charrs.

Verene · Dec 06, 2009, 07:07 AM // 07:07

In GW1, no, not that I've ever seen.

In GW2 stuff, yes.

Bob Slydell · Dec 06, 2009, 07:08 AM // 07:08

There arent any female charr npcs in GW1, but there will be in GW2.

Charlie Dayman · Dec 06, 2009, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Isn't the Charr in Prince Bokka's play a female Charr? Or at least the Kournan soldier is disguised as a female Charr.

Head over to guildwars2.com and click on Races under the World drop-down tab. You'll be able to read more about the Charr and see a female model in the screenshots.

Well.. I know this isn't warhammer, but dwarf females tend to have beards too.. Charr would probably be hard to tell too, mainly because of all the fur...
But in general, just look at the body structure.

Cheers

Here you go.

Hollygen · Dec 06, 2009, 01:31 PM // 13:31

There's lore that's been put in for GW2 to explain that female Charr have been kept out of warbands and the like, hence why we see none in GW1.

Breakfast Mc Rit's directions are the best source for seeing what female Charr will look like
Male sylvari can also be seen on the GW2 site, as wall as the art book, and various concept art over in the GW2 forum (http://www.guildwars2guru.com/) and other locations

Female dwarves... I follow the Pratchett theory of dwarves in that the females look pretty much like the male dwarves

paddymew · Dec 06, 2009, 01:48 PM // 13:48

The female charr are actually quite cute-ish. A lot more feline than the male ones.

own age myname · Dec 06, 2009, 01:59 PM // 13:59

Female charr remind me of Khajiits from Elder Scrolls^^.

X_Kiari_X · Dec 06, 2009, 02:11 PM // 14:11

For all charr fans, read The Ecology of the Charr on gw2wiki.

Here's a quote that says why there's no female charr in GW1

Quote:

Her allies joined on the Plains of Golghein in a final battle to finally overthrow the Shaman caste.

That day, the female Warrior struck a blow for her people as well as her gender. Kalla filled the battlefield with women who had trained in secret for generations, defying the Shamans??? orders to stay at home.

So you'll see female charr in GW2!

Since Charr are basically big cats, how could you tell? When you see a cat walk by, you can't tell if it's female unless you check certain areas really closely. It's probably not a good idea to get that close to a Charr unless you are really, really friendly.

The exception is a calico cat - they are almost always (99%) female. Next time I see Pyre I'll ask if there are calico charr

Well, if you've taken a look at the recent GW2 stuff that was released the other day, female Charr actually look significantly different than male Charr.

And there are feline species where the males and females look different (hell, that's true of most animal species). And Charr are not big cats, they are feline-like.

According to the screenshots, it's quite obvious which ones are female. They literally look like cats, instead of a goat/cat/dog hybrid.

own age myname · Dec 06, 2009, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Yeah, if anything Charr are more lion-like.
