Concerning Gender
rosaniel became the first public genderqueer to represent Errinundera in international football, and by extension the first to be appointed captain. Quer androgynous appearance defies classification and que has playfully resisted media attempts to determine quer biological gender, arguing that it has nothing to do with quer importance as an individual and quer contribution to football.
Que was eventually confirmed as genetically female after being secretly filmed in Geisenfried during World Cup 32. See news article FOOTBALL SUPERSTAR OUTED
Epithets and Nicknames
Lampooning rosaniel's disingenuous public coyness in revealing her biological gender, the hostile McKillops Bridge Sun Herald once described the then rising star as the "angelic, genderqueer rosaniel". Quer public request that the epithet not to be used only encouraged the Errinundrian media. From that moment on the epithet was almost always attached to quer name. Within media circles que was often known simply as a.g.ro. This appellation was unwarranted as que was famous for quer even tempered behaviour.
More generally quer nickname was "The Archangel". This was due to quer uncanny resemblance to the angel Gabriel in the Pier Paolo Pasolini film, "Il Vangelo Secondo Matteo" (The Gospel According to Matthew). It also fitted other celestial nicknames in the World Cup 30 side, eg ubhashinim was known as "The Goddess". "The Archangel" was appropriate in other ways. Que could pass as either a beautiful woman or an equally beautiful man; quer football prowess seemed to be divinely ordained; and quer nature was authoritative and calm.
Public Reverence
In quer last World Cup campaign, rosaniel was feted by Errinundrians who turned out in their droves to pay her honour. In an extraordinary display of affection, over 60 million people lined the tracks as que travelled by train and monorail from McKillops Bridge to Frosty Hollow for quer last international match on home soil.

Comparisons with moschatuma
Although many decades separate the 2 players, modern commentators are comparing rosaniel with the greatest player of Errinundera's classical era, moschatuma. There is an enormous amount of archival footage of the World Cup 7 captain in action. The similarities in their exquisite skills and charismatic leadership are uncanny. The consensus is that rosaniel has the better goal-sense while moschatuma had superior defensive skills. Pretty obvious really: one is a striker, the other was a midfielder.
