As someone who thinks that Anodites might be, here’s my reasoning. XD

My personal theory, which is probably wrong but I think that it works so I go with it, is that Anodites are an all female species who evolved to be made of mana and manipulate mana because it allowed them to transform themselves into any other species and reproduce, meaning a never ending supply of mates and endless choices. It may be that they take on the female role because passing down the Anodite Spark, since it is not passed down through DNA, requires the Anodite to incubate the egg or whatever, but I’m rather unsure about this. So, when they have the babies of the other species, almost all the female decedents (and I’m sure every once and a while there’s a fluke and a male does this too) eventually grow out of their old bodies and become pure Anodites themselves, and continue the cycle.

I have two major pieces of in-show evidence to support this:

1.	All the Anodites we have been shown so far are female. Also, all male decendents of Verdona Tennyson are perfectly human (except Ben, but, you know), and all the females (which is only Gwen and maybe Sunny) are Anodites. 2.	Every single Anodite we have seen so far has fallen in love with some sort of alien that is different from the species they likely grew up as. Gwen is in love with Kevin, and her opinion of him didn’t change at all when his body mutated. Verdona, who probably wasn’t a human, fell in love with Max. Sunny is in love with Antonio, and she doubtfully was his species.

This theory is probably going to be debunked soon, but you know, I have fun with this. :D
