This is Aran at the Alliance meeting:

This is Aran in the past, after the battle with the Black Mage:

What the pineapple?!
Maha, what did you do to Aran? Or is this a side effect of the Black Mage's curse?

Hasn't this been something that's been around for a while now? Technically he's a he cause that's canon. The girl representative is just Nexon's way of appeasing the player base.

OP lives under a rock.
The "Gender confusion" gig has been going on for months.

They've also referred to the girl Aran as "Canon" as well.

i've heard ice does wonders for your skin, but prolonged exposure may have secondary effects.

Yes, the inconsistency in Aran's gender is old. Very old.
Maybe the Koreans are just trying to poison our Western minds with the idea that gender can be fluid.

Nexon should allow Arans to wear clothes of either gender. That could be his Skill Link!

Like I said before Aran is male. Dude just likes to cross-dress.

nexon seriously needs to revamp storylines and makes sense of the class. either have the class gender-limited or have it be that maplers go through quests to find out about the hero's powers and follow their footsteps.

as a maple tree... it has alot of leaves...
each leave has a story but sometimes the story of some leaves can be similar...
that's the way they familiar... but they're not too
1 will become part of a collage for some child
and the other will just dissapear by the time
it's not just 1 story it's a lot of stories...
aran could be aran's disciple but they never gave story
or maybe she was aran too in another timeline
they never explained why irena is sharing eagle eye's clothes
or where's she/it from in the story of maple...
tl;dr there's alot of arans is not just one

That's why another one of Nexon's jokes on their mystery poll was why was there more than 1 Aran running about?
And with them using fem!Aran's sprite in Phantom's storyline, Phantom doesn't seem to have anything to say to her at all... So my conclusion is something along the lines of this:
Fem!Aran could possibly be one of the Rien tribe members, and was just named after Aran in order to be a strong warrior like him. Considering Nexon is revamping a lot of areas, I am guessing we might see a quest line revamp for Aran once the 5th hero is released, which may include a Rien map revamp. This would make fem!Aran similar to the pirate Valerie, whom used to be just PC art until the 8th anny celebration and the Nautilus revamp.

I think I'll go with this one. It's by far the best explanation that's within the realm of logic.

Mir wanted to take a picture with Mercedes, who wasn't even at the Alliance.
Also, what is that Mercedes quest?

Lol'd.
Well, as someone else said, Maple is full of stories, not just one. So it might be because of that. Surely doesn't make much sense, but what can you do. Many other things in the game's storyline don't (apparently).
Aran: the gender confused Legend - Alloy - 2012-02-05
You know what? I'd have made this so it would have chosen the highest level Aran you had in your account as that gender. If there's conflict, make it random. End of the story, same with Evan. Even if it isn't that needed due to his... uhm... looks.
