In my opinion we should separate this into "Current Party Members" and "Former Party Members". Grouping Namari and Shuro under the main characters because they last worked together in the first few pages of chapter 1 seems seems untidy.
I feel like the Ambiguously Bi entry for Marcille is making some assumptions. Unless it's more clear in the original Japanese, the "princely elf" that she sees when the succubi attack doesn't necessarily seem to be a man. Looking at the Canaries as I read, I assumed they were all women, until I saw on the wiki that some were men. Elves, appropriately enough for their typical fantasy depictions, are very androgynous, save for the women who have noticeable chests, but not even all elven women have that. Otta, for example, is a fairly flat-chested elven woman. So while the "princely elf" seems to be male coded, that's purely in that they're "princely," and that could as easily be down to the fact Marcille seems to read romance fiction (the books she wants to recommend to Laios and Chilchuck seem to have the vibe of romance novels).
Is it more clear in Japanese that the Princely Elf illusion is male?
