I think one of my biggest pet peeves re this whole Monsoon issue is how people are surprised that Magnus kissed a woman since she's been 'straight' up until this point. That implies that sexuality is a solid, a constant, an unmoving, unevolving factor in one's personality. If you really study the psychology, in theory, of someone nearly three hundred years old, doesn't it make sense that sexuality would be a fluid factor? It changes with time, just like the seasons, or maybe it doesn't change at all. Maybe it's always there, always open, just waiting for each individual to come along and effect you. What I'm saying is, I can easily see Magnus being pansexual, but not defining herself by any sexual orientation whatsoever. She's probably dated abnormals, women, men, something in between... who knows. If she's so accepting of every type of creature, why wouldn't she be the same way sexually? I can't see her bothering with something so silly as a gender preference after her three lifetimes.
Of course, this is solely my opinion and personal bias of how I view her character. Feel free to discuss, disagree, whatever!
