well, gender swapping would probably get pretty ugly in a place like eorzea. My characters are all cis as far as I've developed them, so having a different gender would make them trans, and I'm not entirely sure how this world treats that kind of thing. You say opposite, so I assume you mean mtf and ftm and not anything outside of the gender binary.
Lysiette was always a curious soul, so as a man. he would probably not take into account other people's thoughts on things. He'd probably go by "Lys" instead of thinking of an entirely different name than his birthname. I don't think he would experience much if any dysphoria, and so I doubt he would feel a pressing need for transitioning (assuming there's a magical method of doing so). Unfortunately, it's fairly likely that him being trans as well as being dusk wight would work double against him, probably making him much less likely to be as open with strangers as my cis woman version of the character. But to his benefit, his body was already somewhat androgynous in the face and shoulders if not the breasts. He'd probably be the type who is reckless about many things but hyper vigilant about binder safety due to a scare he had during puberty
Synglona was already a bit on the shy side, but as a trans man he would be far more withdrawn so as to avoid harassment. He grew up in a pirate family, and I picture them to be more protective of each other than they are put off by a trans person. So they would be extremely protective of him, especially as he develops into a more female appearing body- spelling destruction to anyone who made comments as to his gender. He would be the type to adopt a different name entirely and probably magically transition as far as he can. However, he would also still like wearing his long hair and more feminine clothing. This would have been a source of shame earlier in life, since he would think that if he liked skirts and blouses then maybe he wasn't a boy after all. But after working through issues to accept himself, he would still only wear feminine clothing alone or with people he trusts. Because, based on sex locked clothing, eorzea is really not cool with men dressing in traditionally highly feminine clothing.
