You know.. maybe. Probably. It may change completely.

they find it enjoyable to switch between genders and seduce/spy on/rob/kill people on his command,
They don't get too close to people emotionally, and especially not sexually*
He's not a bad person, at least not intentionally,

One thing I'm curious about though.
I know you're probably just writing this down stream of consciousness style and stuff but I was curious as to how this would work. Does the second quote only apply to personal relationships then? Or when you say "seduce", that they don't end up sleeping together?
I understand the importance of having a pronoun that isn't gender-defining as he/she, but how exactly does one choose between the genderqueer ones?
Are there some more common for certain groups under that umbrella term, is it simply about what sounds the best to the person choosing, is there some kind of (unwritten) rule, something I should consider as a writer and/or what Mari would need to consider as a person if [they] were choosing for [themselves]?
Seeing as this is 19th century, and it's very possible that genderqueer pronouns weren't remotely a thing then yet
does it sound plausible for Mari to make up their own and use those
although they don't like hiding their true self, they find it enjoyable to switch between genders and seduce/spy on/rob/kill people on his command, simply because that makes him proud and Mari feels like they're not alone and have some kind of a purpose and talent.
I'm pretty sure that Mari's biological sex will be male. Partly, that's so I can have some dramatic and potentially gory scenes in which they wonder if they can make themselves a normal girl in order to stop lying to the illusionist
as well as make it easier for the circus owner guy to expose Mari's 'true nature'.
I've decided to keep their age at 17 - of course, that's not counting like 70 years or so they spent working for [Jack], who made them immortal prior to it.
And Perry is a guy. And he used to work in the RL some sixty years ago, while he was still a woman and before he stopped taking his artificial age medicine.

1- Not all languages have gender neutral pronouns and/or are extremely gendered (such as French), therefore removing gendered associations with these pronouns helps allow those languages to be more trans friendly
2- Some people are plain old more comfortable with he or she as pronouns, even though they're non binary
This is one of those things I'm on the fence on, because once you reveal biological sex, people will often assume that the gender is male— when that's not the case. So you're basically going to have to walk the line between "I want to change my body" and "I am still this gender regardless of what my body is".
Please make this an extremely villainous act because "exposing" a trans person (and the violence done in the name of "exposing" a trans person) is a terrible problem in the real world.
Like, going from unattached to attached is something I remember vividly from children's cartoons, only less death. This isn't necessarily bad, but I'd just like a little more meat to it— what makes those boys different?
