The person sleeping in that room in Edelstein, with long hair is no one other than Lotus (he says that he's been there since the Heroes have been defeated, and that his frail look isn't his true form; since it's been centuries, his hair just did grow up.) Phantom also mentions that him and Orchid were inseparable, he's nothing more than a spirit without a body; so we can guess that Orchid was the body part of their real form.
Phantom also speaks about him being "a man" in the past on the level 74 quest. We could relate that to what happens to the Empress, according to Phantom. That a child body is just a sign that they can't have their full power yet, not having anything to do with their age. That also explains why Orchid is only lv 70 while all the other commanders are at least 120; both of them are completely weak until they're together, and for that, he needs to get back to his body and join his sister.
He doesn't look like a man because that's not his true form, he apparently seems to need his twin to achieve that; he has that extremely female voice because he's just a kid now. Still, this is just goddamn weird.
So with that.... something piques my curiosity. Would Orca/Lotus's case be like a mix of Sakubo (split personality syndrome) and Twinrova (two halves weak, one whole strong), or would it be an amalgam of either one?
Orca's story intrigues me because it appears that she might have been one person completely, with Lotus being an alter-ego or something like that. Also, it may have been ORCA that was the tranny, or that losing her/his alter-ego made time-space remove his/her you-know-whats, turning Orca from a man to a girl.
This is intriguing because Orca's the commander we know so little about - hell, I think we know little about the Black Knights in entirety!
