Alternatively, the Bearer was so hollowed that their body was decayed beyond recognition. It was only upon restoring their humanity with the effigy that they remembered (and their body restored to it's natural state) who and what they are.

I don't believe the the character's gender, class, or ethnicity is even important canonically. No matter what you choose, the path ahead is the same. Just as in DkS1, it doesn't matter WHO the chosen undead is, ANYONE can fulfill the prophecy. So, by this logic, any choice you make is canon, because it fulfills the prophecy regardless.
