NiGHTS is probably the only game Character I know of who, OFFICIALLY, doesn't have a Gender. It's not that S/he is NEITHER, nor is it that s/he is BOTH. ugh! It's hard to explain. Some people like to think of NiGHTS as a girl, some like to think NiGHTS as a boy. Others don't like to pin NiGHTS down to either while others like to switch back and forth. And beause NiGHTS is from the world of dreams s/he can be all of these.
ugh! I make no sense XD;; this is what TRiPPY, the unquestioned queen of the fanbase has to say about it:
"NiGHTS is not singularly male in character. NiGHTS is not singularly female in character. NiGHTS is not genderless either. He's multi/dual gendered. Most fans refer to him as 'he' or 'she' because typing the non defining 'NiGHTS' out all the time can get tiring and impersonal. Would you like to be referred to by your name constantly in normal conversation? lol. Also being referred to as an 'it' is pretty rude.
So MANY people argue about NiGHTS' gender like there's some kind of mystery behind it that remains unsolved but there is no mystery. NiGHTS is multi gendered on purpose. The SonicTeam created him this way so he would appeal to more gamers and undoubtedly hark back at the anima/animus dream archetype. For those who aren't familiar with Jung the concept is that Anima is the female aspect of the male unconscious and the Animus being the male aspect of the female unconscious. We have both aspects potentially inside us making us very changeable creatures not bound or defined by physical law. NiGHTS seems to be a personification of that free spirited side to us. Some people see NiGHTS as being one set gender or the other, but that's okay as long as they aren't claiming to be 'canon' as it's very misinformed and annoying. The Archie comics scripted NiGHTS merged/dualised as being whatever gender the dreamer was, but this isn't really true. Not all girls see NiGHTS as a girl. Not all guys see NiGHTS as a guy. Quite the opposite infact. And furthermore, not all dreamers see themselves as the gender they actually are in real life while asleep. A boy could be a girl. There is no law. Mmmmmm androgyny.
Also in demonology and general spirit lore a lot of spirits are multi gendered.
Point being- NiGHTS is whatever the dreamer sees him as. He is chaotic and seems to have no physical rules. A shape shifter and a very mischievous individual in the real sense of the word. This isn't stopping the SonicTeam from ruining the myth behind him in a sequel though and making him one set gender. Personally, i think being the controversial way he is makes him more kick ass. No other SonicTeam character is like NiGHTS. Simply put- this hero is unique. And might i add that NiGHTS has helped various fans become comfortable with their own sexuality in their lives. Can any other video game character lay claim to that?"

Oekaki is an online drawing program that requires Java to work. basically, an Oekaki board is like a bit like a forum, but instead of talking to each other about things, each board entry is a picture you submit. Usually the rules are no more than 2 pics per user in 24hours and you need to spend over 15 mins on a picture. Some boards are specific like the one I drew this, the Board I used for this you're only allowed drawing NiGHTS fanart 83.
Wiki says: (お絵描き ) is the Japanese term to describe the act of drawing, meaning "doodle or scribble". On the Internet, an Oekaki is a message board system that revolves around computer art created with an art program stored on the server. Oekaki artists often post their art to other websites, such as personal pages or free gallery websites, in addition to the original board.
for example, here's the NiGHTS Oekaki board: [link]
Hope that helps
