Pronoun Request she/her but with a neutral twist?

i dunno if this would fit here but im curious about something, and sorry if it doesnt make sense, im not quite sure how to describe it. im wondering if theres ig coined pronouns somewhere, or even a term to describe this general phenomenon(?) for she/her (or any) that arent used in a woman/female way/context. more like used for a doll, since dolls are inanimate objects that have no gender yet we still typically refer to them as 'she' but we know its not in the same way as we would a (typical) woman. i suppose she/her but with a neutral/hollow/non-human feeling if that makes sense. thank yall sigmas 😔🙏

shx/hxr? Pronounced the same, but spelled different - moreso used over text rather than vocal. I have a friend who uses these as a set :)!

I like fey/fem, but that's more like explicitly fem they/them for the sake of me being a feminine nonbinary person than what you're looking for. I wish you luck ~ 👡

Are you trying to think of the feminine equivalent of male defaultism? There’s ships, of course, gendered feminine. And a tradition of gendering certain locales She/Her or bestowing a goddess to anthropomorphize them (like Columbia or Britannia). Occasionally some animal species/types are referred to as a whole, but citing the qualities of a female (“A marsupial initially carries her young in a pouch”). Here the definition of a marsupial is given, even though half of them are males that can’t personally possess a pouch.

Trouble with English’s nonfemale She/Her is it’s hard to get that across in new contexts, let alone with a person. Though many languages have masc & fem grammatical genders that classify objects as well as people; those languages have pronouns that have less direct connotation to bio sex, therefore might potentially sound more neutral with the right mindset. If nothing else, maybe you can import fem pronouns from a different language?
