Nicole has been playing hockey since she first learned to walk. She's a complete natural on the ice, and her Father couldn't be be more proud. But her Mother couldn't be more disgusted with her after her fifteenth birthday, where Nicole first sported her new haircut. Nicole's hockey team has never seen her without her mask and gear. On top of that, her voice sounds more like a squeaky twelve year old boy's. And there are plenty of boys on the team with long hair. No one suspects She's really a girl. But is she? Raised in a town where titles such as 'Gender Queer' or 'Transgender' or even 'Non-Binary' are unheard of, Nicole is faced with intense pressure as she struggles to figure out what the heck is even happening.

Her parents laughed as she said this; she was cute with her front teeth missing. Not a place for magic, but Winnie certainly thought so, skipping home. But somewhere along the way, that changed.
