Essentially, the folks in the clan need to know that when they reach out to you to group up, they're getting the woman who joined the clan, and not anyone else. We are mindful that while some folks in our clan regularly play with male friends, others are not comfortable doing so. As our mission is to provide a safe space for female gamers, each member having her own account supports that mission. The mechanics of how that will work for you, I'm not familiar with, as I created my own account and had my own characters from the beginning. Hope that helps!
