Yeah, personally I'm a fan of singular "they." As long as the person in question doesn't object to being called "they/them/their" it's fine.

@simplechild Thank for the answer!

@EaterOfBooks Yeah, in fact "they" didn't even sound odd in my ears (or rather look odd in my eyes) in that sentence, which is indeed what got me thinking and thus asking the question, hoping there was a more solid reason for it. If "villain" instead of "villainess" had been used, it would have been even traditionally more correct because then the gender would have been unknown, but since everybody knows the ad was about a female villain, it would have been kind of artificial. So, it is sort of funny to have a gender specific "villainess" and then go for a gender neutral "they".

But her acting sucked though. She didn't completely commit to the villainess act to the end. Too innocent and easily flustered, didn't even try to act l like it was all part of her plans to become innocent.

@OhUniverse Not so sure I agree. Her main desire was for both the Prince and her to marry for love. Her last decking of the marriage after learning of the Prince's love appeared more liked flustered embarassment. Her original disapproval of the marriages stemmed from not being able to know what he's thinking, or rather, not knowing if he loved her or not. I don't imagine their wedding was against her will even if it was a forced ordeal.

Besides, the text says they have a happy marriage, so that is how it would appear.

Huh, S and Tsundere? Nice pairing, it works well.
Though I must say, she wasn't talented to be a villainess, sigh... She got flustered too quickly over a few provocations, she was destined to fail...

@moderateTrouble I saw a video before on geisha hairstyles and they had a hair iron that was basically multiple long metal clamps that were grilled. You would use one clamp while the others heated. Could be something similar.
