I'm fairly unfamiliar with the story, but when did Pinocchio go to war and cross-dress?

JNPR's theme is not just gender-bent warriors, it's historico-folkloric gender-bent warriors who famously cross-dressed. Pinocchio is of too recent origin to count.

That said, I do agree that Pyrrha has the most death-flags, but her death is ages and ages off in the future, probably toward the end of the show. Years and years away, both in-universe and in real time.
