I dislike the reveal completely. I've played this game for 16 years and not once did I ever get the impression the Raptor was a girl. Either the Raptor is the best actor to ever exist or Jagex literally just threw this into the game.
Are we just going to forget that in the alternate time all the heroes died except the Raptor. His armor hints he escaped alive. Last I remember, Ellamaria was zombified and just bossed around Arav and really didn't do anything.
This 100% seems like a retcon and a terrible one at that. Forget what Jagex says. The Raptor is not freaking Ellamaria, regardless of what they claim now. I mean, just think about it. On what world can she go and slay, do adventuring, and everything else while also being the queen? That doesn't even seem realistic. Where would she even find the time? Not to mention their personalities are completely different from one another. I loved the Raptor the first time I talked with him. I immediately disliked Ellamaria the first time I talked to her.
Plus, Ellamaria doesn't even remotely fit into his armor. Its even more blatant that they forced this change by the recent graphical update they did to try and make him way less bulky. The mods can say they planned this all along, but that is just a straight up lie. If they had, we would have gotten something similar to Mulan when she was dressing up as a dude. You don't make a character with the biggest armor in the freaking game secretly a women half the Raptor's size. Do they really expect me to believe that the queens tiny hands fit into the giant gloved hands the raptor has in numerous art pieces of him that used to be on this website for all to see?
This was clearly just done for some agenda and not to actually stay true to what would have made sense for the character.
