It seems to me that Empyreans can split into two personalities.
What I wonder is if Ranni and Melina are the same situation. Their similar appearance cant be a coincidence right?

It's looking somewhat like Melina may have been a daughter of Marika but for the sole purpose of [spolier]becoming kindling for the flame[/spoiler]

Male/Female period. That's the biology. Psychology cannot change that. Our internal cognitive processes can dream up any number of gender fantasies. That's ok. Not my business or anyone else's. But biology is what it is, not what we decide it is. And if I don't like what I see the media doing with it--games, movies, tv, etc.-- I just turn it off or don't play. Simple. OK...here comes the vitriol.

I'd suggest getting updated on gender-based dimorphic brain structures, hormone expression, etcetera. Male/Female is biologically based, but doesn't always express itself in strictly binary terms. Even major sexual structures don't always conform to strictly binary expression. That's the biology.

Aren't those...usually errors in neurochemistry rather than norms? If someone has such a massive endocrine disruption that they assume themselves a gender opposite of sex that doesn't really seem like a healthy body that sounds like someone's hormones have been nuked from a foreign substance or source.

I mean, yeah there's Klinefelter syndrome and other X/Y pairing issues and damage but I don't think this can be argued as an "intentional design" rather than a mutation as it these forms of genetic changes usually result in infertility.

Marika split into 2 beings / halves. A male and female form. Which ultimately she used to mate with herself and create children.

There is no "intentional design" to begin with. Biology is wacky and weird, all kinds of unpredictable things happen when you start combining DNA and growing organisms out of it. Humans are not made from a definitive recipe that comes out the same all the time - it's chaotic.

I think she/he split his body into two and then commited sin.
How?

How do we know they're the same? The description for the Golden Order Greatsword says that Radagon came from beyond the land between seeking territory, those claims he recanted to go join up with Renalla and then Marika. No idea what happened for them to "become the same" as is shown in the final boss scene however

I think its just for the transgender crap honestly. Type A-B bodies for example and not male female anymore.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

bruh there have been non-binary characters in nearly every souls game, quit trying to make everything political
The Darkmoons look upon you in shame.

There have been non-binary characters in REAL LIFE deity lore. People need to be less dramatic.

Serious answer: Look into Carl Jungs theory of Anima and Animus (also the Shinto tale of Izanagi and Izanami for a more looser inspiration). The basic idea is that they are two parts of a whole but Radagon was never able to equal Marika so she shattered the Elden ring in the hope that a whole balanced person could become Elden Lord.

"O Radagon, leal hound of the Golden Order
Thou'rt yet to become me. Thou'rt yet to become a god.
Let us be shattered, both. Mine other self."

Because it says so repeatedly throughout the game in many areas, many items too.

Radagon is Marika in disguise. I feel the real Radagon is that poor little horse. I don't why... The first time I see this boss fight, my attention is all on that horse for some reason. There is something odd about it... But then I will never have any clue about this game's story anyway XD. This is one of those games - kill everything that talks and moves XD.

[Yew Nough]

What's strange is I remember dialogue stating that Radagon was from another land (I think it was the same piece of information that states how he hated the color of his hair cause it resembled the fire giants) to reach Marika.

Is it possible they became one after they met?
