Why does colias not have any assumed gender? All pronouns referring the them are gender neutral, as if we don't even know their gender. Is this because no one actually knows or is it more of a design quirk? Or is it that we simply can't refer to them with any gender pronouns? Otherwise my only question is what exactly is his connection to the ants?

extremely late to responding to this, so I don't know if you'll even see this, but they're nonbinary.

For a more in depth Lore Friendly answer; chances are when they entered the backrooms the wanderers who found them didn't know the kid's gender and just continued to refer to them with they/them, and it just stuck. just so happens that colias would later find out they prefer things that way and prefers they/them being used for them. that's it.

as for their connection with ants, it's intentionally left a bit ambiguous. wether colias has some psychic connection with them, or ants are actually a parastic hivemind that made colias one of their own, or maybe they're just a weird kid that likes bugs, thats up to the reader to decide and interpret. Hope this clears up a few things :P
