In case you’re interested, NB as an umbrella term is pointedly not restrictive.
A common misconception is that it’s the traditional third-option to M/F, like neuter or gender-neutral, but it’s usually more about flouting the rules of gender than avoiding gender expression entirely.
For example, I’m gender non-conformist, a type of non-binary. I tend to borrow gender expression indiscriminately and switch it up when it gets boring. While subtle forms of gender rebellion are my cup of tea, I don’t care about pronouns and never changed my name. You can’t really misgender me, and that’s fairly common among NB folks I’ve met.
So yes, in theory ~~Yakko~~ Wacko (whoops) can easily be the NB Warner Brother. He could just wear dresses or makeup in some episodes and be considered demonstrably NB, but even that isn’t a strict requirement.
