I noticed that on all the comics, the life character is always a girl. I also see more girls that are life than boys. A few people say life is a girl school. Is life a girl school, Professor Wu?

Well, I'm not the Professor... but, I know there are a lot of wizards that are Life School wizards out there. Boy wizards... Girl wizards... The Life school isn't a "Girl Wizard" school. The Life school just requires a lot of patience... and, maybe "Girl" Wizards just have more patience...
so, that's maybe why you see more of them. I see a lot of both types.

I am no Moolinda Wu, but I will try to answer this.

Life is all about healing, gentleness, and kindness. In my opinion, it is an excellent school of choice. I am not a Theurgest, but I do know that life has powerful spells, both for healing and damage.

I will quote this from W101's "Life Magic" page:

Life Magic rests between Fire and Storms, for the spark of Life comes from those two forces.

Whoever thinks that Life is girly should read the Life Magic page.

ugh this is one of those cases when people say that only girls make freindship braclets and play with stuffed animals and they cant play stuff like football or basketball. well i play soccer and i also swim butterfly competetevly. and i am a girl. it can be vice versa for boys to. boys can be life. sevral of my freinds who are BOYS are in the life school. oh and i dont think that this is as bad but alot of times i see people saying death is boys only. though i dont see it as much as this

Ah, this is a tricky question.

But overall, you are more likely to see a female Theurgist than a male - just as you are generally more likely to see a male Pyromancer or Diviner than a female one (please note that male Theurgists and Female Pyromancers/Diviners DO exist - they are just not as common as their distaff counterpart).

Maybe it stems from the fact that our society still largely adheres to the "Female is the healer, male is the warrior" concept - just look at many fantasy cartoons, comics and movies. So, naturally, we, who have been affected by said influences, follow the same concept.

Of course, it largely comes down to personality and how people take on using their schools. Most people, male AND female, just go for "whatever does the most damage" and tends to ignore the slower-killing Theurgist that is a complete and utter pain to kill because they keep healing right back up.

Not at all, it doesn't matter if you are a boy or a girl, life is a good school and can't really be killed unless one hit killed. Great for group play too. Even though I am not moolinda and I domt work for KI I believe that this game is for all people, that goes for the schools too. Saying life is a girl school is like saying death, storm, or fire are boy schools, completely wrong.

Amber Stormsong level 49 storm
Amber Sandrunner level 31 balance
Amber Soulhunter level 24 death
Amber Hexblood level 19 ice
Amber Emerakdspear level 12 life
Amber Drake level 9 fire

PS. I thought people were over this kind of thing

by the way if you think that life is weak so it is a nobody school if you are life with a secondary of storm then you are like, the perfect wiz. it is true vice versa to

I am not moolinda wu but i would like to answer this.
i myself am a level 60 life wizard (boy) i dont think that life is a girl school at all and i have my life friend boys than girls. life is a school of healing lower attacks health and teamwork. i have tried to do a storm (not hatein on the storm people or anything) but it was very annyoing to keep fizzling thats one reason i love life to because of it accuracy. i am life, death wizard life with the move feint is unstopabble life is not a girly school i would say its one of the stronger schools just because they heal doesnt mean were girls

Sincerly:
