Catra and Adora are sitting in the Dining Hall eating some supper after a long day's work, and an adolescent Finn walks up to them. Looking visibly nervous, she never was the stoic type.
"Hey moms...can we uhm talk...like privately" Finn says with a shaky tone.
"Oh uhm of course my love" Adora says as the mothers get up to follow their daughter into their bedroom.
Finn takes a collective breath, she has always been a brave soul but this is shaking her to her core. "Moms...I really don't know how to explain this. But I don't really like being a girl, like I don't feel like a girl."
Mila standing outside the door, mischievously eavesdropping as she definitely told her sister she wouldn't do. "You're doing good little si...sibling" she corrects herself as she smiles with pride.
"Oh okay...so do you feel like a boy?" Catra inquires. Adora is quite surprised with how Catra is handling this.
"I don't know I just don't like being a girl" Finn says, her tone lightens up as he senses them accepting Finn.
Adora gets excited "Alrighty Finn, let's try something" she waves her over
Finn follows the women into the bathroom
"Who's style do you like the most?" Catra asks
"Uhm a black jacket and jeans sounds cool" Finn says anxiously
Catra gets excited "OO! I got this"
Finn has shoulder length hair, she never liked it long.
Adora almost telepathically communicated with Catra to know the next step, she clipped Finn's hair on the left side of her head to the back to represent it being shaved and left the right side hanging down.
"Finn try this on, this is a binder. It helps you not look like you have yknow...a woman's chest."
They cycle through many very masculine outfits that they may or may not have stolen from Bow's closet. Finn wasn't liking any of it and it was clear
Catra brought out some jeans, a white undershirt and a black jacket.
Finn gets changed after her mothers leave the bathroom. She puts everything on and smiles, "This is definitely my style" he takes the jacket off and sees the undershirt and she feels at peace. She walks out of the door to her parents.
"Hi.." Finn says awkwardly
Adora has developed a motherly sense of seeing her child's uncomfortability, it's even obvious for Catra.
"Yea this isn't you is it?" Adora asks
"I can't think of a boy's name that I like and the whole boy aesthetic wasn't my taste anyway. I have tried seeing how boys act and how they are and it doesn't feel right. Same thing with girls, I don't like the whole idea of princesses and castles and unicorns"
"You can say that again" Catra mumbles under her breath and Adora elbows her in the side.
Finn flops on the bed in frustration as she buries her head in her arms and sobs. Adora and Catra sit on either side of their daughter.
"We will figure this out my child" Adora says reassuringly
Finn lightens up as he hears a reference that feels...right.
"Don't worry kid, we will help as much as possible" Catra says reassuringly but in a more joking tone.
Finn smiles brightly at the neutral reference.
Finn, using his Catra gifted charisma, says "Why don't we just stick to neither boy or girl. Just a child"
"If that is what makes you comfortable pri...my child" Adora says correcting herself.
Mila cheers outside the door "I'm so proud of you little one"
