Beauty Ideals

Sona piscos find skinny to be sexy. They’re also turned on by large lips and a gap between the two front teeth.

Gender Ideals

Cisgender, transgender, agender, and gender fluid are all norms.

Courtship Ideals

Sona piscos typically start dating at a young age. Whenever a pisco meets someone they find attractive, they flirt by singing. If that other pisco likes the song and finds the inciting party to be attractive, they accept the invitation to go steady. Usually, piscos are only allowed to date if they’ve both hit puberty. Depending on how long they’ve been in a relationship (usually about a year or so), they might decide to get married. They do so by registering their relationship with their respective governments, which is required by law for marriages. Each pisco also has to give a gift to their partner’s family, usually in the form of money.

Relationship Ideals

Pansexuality and panromanticism are the norm with sona piscos.
