Haven't got the game myself, but I noticed ranni the witch and renna the witch in the Elden Ring images.

Added, thanks.

Only two posts, but there's also boc_the_seamster

I just noticed that zorayas has been applied to a few posts of rya (elden ring). They’re obviously referring to the same character, but I’m not actually all that familiar with Elden Ring, so I’m not sure which name is actually preferred in-game or by the community. Anyone who knows more about this care to advise me on which tag should be kept?

Zorayas is technically the real name, while Rya is the name she introduces herself to you as when she's in disguise as a hunchback human lady

There are a couple other cases of double identity in the game and tags too, though they might be kept for spoiler reasons?
Specifically ranni_the_witch and renna_the_witch are the same person using a really hastily made alias, as well as Gurranq_(elden_ring) being the alias used by Maliketh_(elden_ring) while living as a banished clergyman

None of these characters look particularly different, so I'd say it's fair to alias to their true names. Maliketh, Zorayas, and... whichever witch name is right.

That works for me. Though, I wonder if they should be kept separate as separate forms? I don’t know if the other characters look different, but Rya as a human looks very different from the snake form.

We could have Zorayas_(cursed_form) and Zorayas_(cured_form) or somesuch. Cursed/Cured might be too easily mixed up, so maybe something different.
Zorayas' cursed form apparently a skink with a long, snake-like neck, though a lot of people just call her a "snake with arms" (which, let's be honest, is exactly what a skink is, but they still use the word snake first), so maybe zorayas_(skink_form) for the curse?

Except she isn't cursed. The snake form is her true form. The human form is just a disguise for her to do her job.

I thought all the maidens in non-human form were cursed? If not, then it's normal and disguise forms?

Zorayas is the offspring of a human woman and a giant snake. She disguises herself to scout for people to join her faction, the volcano manor. What other maidens do you believe are cursed?

And is Rya the name of her disguise? If so, I still think using Rya for the human form and Zorayas for the snake form could work. If not, perhaps just zorayas_(true_form) and zorayas_(human_form) or zorayas_(disguised).

I don't know who all counts as a maiden, just it seemed like people talked about the maidens being cursed.
Off the tags here, any gender:
The witch being a four-armed mushroom lady, Blaidd and Maliketh being wolf men, and the Seamster being a rat fellow had me thinking those were curses. I wasn't aware that apparently a lot of human-hybrids like the Minotaur were people in the game.

Is that standard FromSoft fare, to have anthro characters?

Elden ring is definitely courting the Furry crowd. There are multiple furry races (demi humans, snake-men, the wolfmen of farum azula). Ranni the witch is inhabiting the body of a four armed puppet, blaidd was created to protect her,, Maliketh is a deity, and Boc the seamster is a demi-human.

How about this?
zorayas - snake form
zorayas_(human_form) - human
I’m sure the vast majority of this character’s appearance on this site will be of her snake form, so I think it’s safe to use that as the unsuffixed tag, especially considering it’s her “true form” as well. Also, it seems to be standard to do that already (compare with asriel_dreemurr for his canon form and asriel_dreemurr_(god_form)).

Still pushing for Asriel to get a new suffixed tag for his non god-form so users can stop mistagging.

Well- ok, fair, but his god form is also just very popular. I doubt we’ll ever see more than a handful of posts featuring Zorayas’ human form. There aren’t even any that exist here currently.

Given it's human on a furry site, yeah, Zorayas can keep an unsuffixed form for her normal form.
