Zhi doesn't really differentiate between the genders, to the point that I don't even think she has a sexual preference (or even really cares for it, but that's not the point). While she's wary of those who are bigger and built more for muscle than she is, she's small enough that that category includes as many women as men. Due to her mother having been a whore, she has a bit of a soft spot for them, but since there's boy whores and girl whores (how thoughtful!) that isn't really a difference either.
I do have a character in another setting who is totally misogynistic and acts the part of a chauvinistic pig, though, and he is very interesting to play, but Zhi is very . . . it's almost like she doesn't see people at all, including their genders. All she sees is the potential gil, and the potential danger to her hide. She'll flirt/joke/act sympathetic with anyone to get their measure (or to get a certain response), but I think that's more of a learned trait than actual intent. Beauty in either gender doesn't really affect her much; she considers it a tool to be used against others and is constantly on guard as a result. She's just sorta unaware of gender to a large degree, I think. Maybe she's just a late bloomer or something.
