Cheery’s predecessor

We tend to focus on Cheery as the trailblazer of multiple genders among dwarfs, but now that I am reading Soul Music I came across Gloria, who I had forgotten.

She is one of Susan’s friends at school (the other is a troll) and is both a dwarf and female. I think she’s also the only dwarf at the school so may not have faced the same challenges as Cheery. Either way it’s nifty to see how this idea started.
