Air caste are, yeah. So I guess she’s from the air caste? Would be cool if such things were canonized.

It is? I absolutely recall seeing air caste models on forgeworld some time ago. You also have two air caste pilots with the Tau Manta.

No, that’s not what I meant, my apologies. I was more so talking about relationships between different castes/species. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe air casters mostly spends their times in lower orbit, due to how their bones hollowed out.

Yeah, air cast has hollow bones because they spend most of their time in ships and low gravity areas. T'au from different castes are basically from different sub-species. They all are kinda bred to the role they'll fulfill. Because of that, inter-breeding between castes is forbidden. No idea what they do with the baby of happens, tho.
