Trying to equip weapons and armor to my pet. If I have to go through the Wardrobe to reach my Armory then I'm screwed because the Wardrobe is broken rn.

Also, why is my avatar set to automatically female? I wasn't given a choice in the matter.

from the menu Subeta->Games-> scroll to the bottom of the page, Battle Coliseum-> menu along the top of the page, 2nd option is Armory.

I don't know why the default is female, I'd assume its because the majority of users are female. You can make a suggestion to change that.

Is there no way to change it? I'll see who I can talk to about it. Thanks for the answer.

the only way to change your avatar is through the wardrobe. if you can't access the wardrobe right now, then you'll have to wait until it's working for you.

the battle coliseum can also be accessed through explore > sacred lands > the big coliseum near the middle of the map.

there aren't any threads in Problems & Bugs about the Wardrobe being down in general, so it may just be you. Or since you're new and we aren't it could be that the Tutorial is broken again and we can't tell.

Often but not always this is due to Internet Exporer/Edge which don't play well with Subeta, and sometimes it is adblockers. Chrome Firefox and Safari are more likely to work. To have staff help you figure out what's the deal, file a Ticket in Help. You can find Help and Ticket in the very first column of dropdowns at the top of the page labeled Subeta
