Or maybe they asked the devs for context? Without context it would be way easier to jump to the conclusion that the soldier was male, actually. While we know that female soldiers exist in the universe (or female members of the city watch at least), the general perception of "soldier" is still a male person, which also explains why several people concluded that Curnow was secretly gay or bi at least in the comments here and on Curnow's page.

The problem is that German is less "neutral" than English, so the translators had to pick a gender specific word. I was actually surprised that they picked the female version cuz I always interpreted it as Curnow being gay myself.
