Wanted: List of Fictional Female and Non-Binary Ace, Demi and Grace Characters
I was thinking it would be nice to compile a list of fictional asexual-spectrum or likely ace-spectrum characters who are female or non-binary. I am going to stress here that I am not trying to erase or leave out male aces, demis and graces, and that later I will make a more complete list of…
Um, Jaenelle Angelline from the Black Jewels Trilogy (that…turned into like 10 books) is very probably grey-a and grey-romantic. There’s a quote about her responding to her (at the time) future husband “as a man” for the first time at age 25, and seeing everyone else as friends or brothers, or something. She’s also sex disinterested to aversive in every case except with her (at the time) future husband.
Karla of Glacia from the same series is almost definitely asexual-she is explicitly said “not to like men that way,” meaning sexually, but also does not seem to be lesbian (and there are homosexual characters in the series, so it’s not like the author is too scared to include them, or something). She forms a platonic family with a man and an adopted daughter, and even had a queerplatonic relationship with another man, her cousin, until he died in the third book of the trilogy.
I see Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games as both grey-a and aromantic. She seems sexually attracted to Peeta twice in the the first year that she knows him-once at The Cave and once during the second Game she’s in, the rest she’s doing for the camera, and she seems sexually attracted to Gale one time when he’s dying from being whipped.
Someone’s already mentioned Erin from Girls With Slingshots and Amy from Big Bang Theory (who, if not ace, might be grey-a).
