Talk:Equinox (Warframe)/@comment-11575002-20150831014126/@comment-68.13.172.188-20150910112206

The combined, Equinox form is pretty distinctively female by previous female warframe standards (thin, with pronounced thighs). The only thing really missing is distinct breasts, but that's not something unheard of either (see: Zephyr).

If we look at the Trivia section we see this:

"Equinox's separate forms were originally referred to as Anima and Animus, both of which are concepts in Jungian Psychology. They are respectively described as the feminine and masculine aspects of a person's psyche."

Going off that, it can be assumed that this frame is designed around those principles:

- Day-Form (Animus, the masculine half of the unconcious mind): "He" embodies physical power and action, which are both reflected in the Day-Form powers. They embody the typical "masculine" persona by utilizing boosts in strength (Metamorphosis), a more confrontational attitude (Rage & Provoke), or outright harming enemies (Maim).

- Night-Form (Anima, the feminine part of the unconcious mind): "She" embodies psychic sensitivity, becoming more defensive (Metamorphosis), calming (Rest & Pacify), or a source of motherly care (Mend).

The original Equinox was possibly a psychologist or someone who held those concepts in high regard. If someone like that was given the power of the warframe, it makes sense that those concepts would extend beyond a mere mental state and become physical forms that embody the masculine and feminine in full force.
