[@valteth]

@@dhruvchackravarthi8960 Miquella has a situation kinda like Marika/Radagon wether this is a full on two seperate people sharing a body isn't clear as there is some evidence that they were not quiet as divided as Marika and Radagon. As for the voice Miquella is eternally a child so they cast a woman to voice him as that is what usually happens with child characters. The appearance is likely down to the female aspect of him being less divided than his parents creating an androgynous appearance rather than the appearance changing depending on who is acting at a given time.
