They told us in the Facebook promo text

Haven't seen that. I still don't have a problem with it - if they want to make sure people are using their correct pronouns its best to spell it out, otherwise there could be some unpleasant comments.

Ack, I haven't seen a FB post about the shopkeeper. Did I use the right pronouns in my post? I can correct myself if I was wrong.

Neopets seem to be using they/them but I also haven't seen this post directly specifying - could be she/they?

I think I've only seen they/them in official posts, but she/they is def possible.

Thank you both. I'll go update my post until she is/isn't confirmed and sorry for making the initial mistake.

Posting this here since more information came out about the shopkeeper. Their name is Umbra Penn and here's what TNT said about them:

Wtf...

i genuinely love the new shopkeeper. the artwork on neopets recent years has been AWFUL. like if you like the design or not its drawn really well and it shows a massive improvement

the new shopkeeper is a cutie. Hopefully this is a sign a non-binary gender option for pets will roll out some time as well

If they're completely redoing the pet table for this, they definitely could adjust the gender options. I'm not sure how they would handle things like elderly or royal that have gendered paints, but just saying, if they're gonna do it, now's the time.

Oh no if we get a semi good looking lutari everyone's gonna lose their minds
