Nanika's personality could be interwining with Alluka himself which makes Alluka dress as he does, but Alluka himself is refered to as a male and Nanika as female. I see this like Yugi and Yami Yugi. Both share the same body. The spirit of the millennium puzzle is male and Yugi is male, but the only thing that would be different is. The being or 'spirit' in Alluka is female, while Alluka could be male himself. I don't know it is just a thought that has been lingering in my head for a few days. This has been covered multiple times and I have already refuted it completely. Nanika is not gendered - all instances of such are inserted in translation. There is no indication that Nanika influences any parts of Alluka's behavior like this, all of it is unfounded speculation. Again, at no point in the series is Nanika hinted at being female. All of Nanika's perceived femininity is via synchronicity with Alluka, who is repeatedly indicated to be a girl. A large portion of Japanese fans believe Nanika to be male, even.

Yet again, Alluka is the one who uses a female personal pronoun. Nanika does not. Alluka's speech patterns are feminine. Nanika's are not. I've talked about this at length both in this thread and in the document I composed, I'd recommend you look at both before offering ideas that have already been shot down.
