As we already found out, Nanika is defenitely a girl, so it would make sense. I couldn be wrong here, but when Killua enlightened Illumi about Alluka and Nanika in the woods, didn't Illumi say Nanika is a  Zashiki Warashi? Nanika does not appear in chapter 322, to my knowledge. I'm rechecking. Disregard this, Nanika does appear in flashbacks. However, this is before Nanika's introduction as a separate character, and so I believe the argument that it refers to Nanika has very little weight.

Additionally, the term "zashiki warashi (座敷童)" is not gendered. They are not necessarily female.
