Talk:List of fictional non-binary characters/Archive 1

Page title

Thanks for creating the page. I note that a page already exists for List of people with non-binary gender identities and it might be helpful to use the same terminology, calling this page a List of fictional characters with non-binary gender identities. That title would avoid issues relating to narrow definitions of the word genderqueer. Trankuility (talk) 23:28, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

I really hate the unclear terminology as well - Non-binary redirects to genderqueer, eventhough I would personally prefer non-binary as well. I definitely wouldn't mind a move of any page, but commonname is a bit difficult to establish. I really wouldn't argue against this being moved, though. ~Mable (chat) 08:15, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

As this is a new page, and as a similar discussion has moved List of people with non-binary gender identities, I made this change, per WP:BOLD. Hope that's ok with you. Trankuility (talk) 21:39, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

In case these refs ever come to use anywhere (for instance, in NiGHTS own article), I didn't feel comfortable just deleting them, though he has never really been described as a non-binary or genderqueer character, and I don't think he is human, so there. ~Mable (chat) 18:00, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Haruhi Fujioka

@Roscelese: To quote The Daily Dot, "In fact, Ouran is one of the rare instances in which an anime character embraces, if not a genderqueer identity, then at least a gender-ambivalent one." The Mary Sue explains Haruhi's character as followed:

"She is happiest in neutral clothing, and when a kid gets gum in her hair she chops it to pixie length without a second thought. The host club boys are often cooking up schemes to get her into dresses and bikinis. When these schemes succeed, Haruhi either has no reaction to the clothing or treats the high heels and frills more as costume than expression of identity."

And she follows this up by saying she would like to imagine Haruhi to identify as agender in a possible sequel to the anime. I personally do believe that these aspects would merit her inclusion on this list, probably more so than, for example, Pat from Saturday Night Live, for whom I was unable to find out anything other than that no one can "figure out" their gender (though their behavior, comically or not, does seem like they are purposefully keeping it ambiguous). ~Mable (chat) 06:20, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I wouldn't consider The Mary Sue a reliable source; Daily Dot I don't know. I just really don't think "is totally comfortable wearing pants and short hair" is a reasonable standard for "not a woman." –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 13:55, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

I could argue that "I have watched the anime and I think she is totally agender," but I suppose that would be considered original research :p Eh, if you believe the sources in the Haruhi Fujioka article aren't sufficient for this list, then I suppose that's that. I'll have to wait for better ones to pop up >.> ~Mable (chat) 14:50, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

So according to one popular translation of the anime (the one available on Hulu, so I assume it's pretty accurate) Haruhi says “If you all think of me as a boy, then that’s ok with me too. My feeling is that any awareness of being a boy or a girl falls lower than that of being a person," here's a YT link, scene starting at 20:59. This seems like a pretty clear sign of a queer gender identity to me. Another translation of this scene (I'm unsure of the origin of this one): “Haruhi… You’re a girl?” Haruhi: “Biologically, yes… It seems like my consciousness for genders is lower than that of an average person.” Another YT link at 3:16. To me, this indicates a queerness of gender that goes beyond a mere apathy of expression. I think this alone is enough to warrant her inclusion, and I also don't think its insignificant that other writers online have interpreted Haruhi as genderqueer.

Non-human Characters

There are many fictional robots/groups of aliens that do not fall within binary gender because of their physical nature, but what about non-human groups that use gender in essentially the same way as humans? For example, the fairies characters in Peritale mostly fall within the male/female gender binary, while Lavender, included in the cast page here, identifies as non-binary. Is there a logical reason this character shouldn't be included in the list? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Desishan (talk • contribs) 04:02, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

I don't particularly have a problem with that. When I wrote that, I was particularly worried about gender-does-not-apply cases. I don't really know the works you are linking, so I can't make much of a judgment on them, but they wouldn't probably be eligible for the list if it wasn't for an issue I'll point out below. ~Mable (chat) 07:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Dealing with non-notable additions

There were a few of these in here before, but recently a lot of them got added: non-notable works (primarily webcomics) that include non-binary characters. I love these, don't get me wrong, but using primary sources to link to all of them is really just original research. There's no reason to believe that these specific examples are worth talking about, as it's theoretically impossible to know if anyone other than the editor who added those entries to the list have read these webcomics. At least for A Frigate Bird Sings, I found some secondary sources commenting on the work and its implementation of gender. I would like to remove the following characters from the list because the work they appear in isn't notable and reliable sources haven't mentioned the character:

• Aster
• Ember Chu
• Kylie Coven
• Lucy Marlowe
• Norn Misra
• Ted Verres

If I'm not mistaken, non-binary wiki already lists all these characters and many more. There may also be reason to remove Bolt and Watch/Garden Boy, as they seem to be lacking any kind of notability as well, though I'll keep those open as their works are considered notable. Thoughts and opinions? ~Mable (chat) 07:50, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

Name	Source material	Gender identity	Explanation	Sources
Aster	Love Not Found	Androgyne	Aster uses "zie/zir" pronouns in the comic, and author Gina Biggs has stated that Aster identifies as androgyne.
Ember Chu	Blindsprings	Duine
Kylie Coven	Rain LGBT	Genderfluid
Lucy Marlowe	Never Satisfied	Non-binary	Lucy uses "they/them" pronouns in the comic, and author Taylor Robin has stated that Lucy is non-binary.
Norn Misra	Demon Street	Non-binary
Tedd Verres	El Goonish Shive	Genderfluid	Tedd realized he was genderfluid after several years of working with technology with which he could freely change his sex.

References

Removed the above characters from the list. Maybe some of them can be added once again some day, if their works get more notability. Would definitely be nice. (also, ugh, why do I hate those ugly "retrieved" dates so much? :s) ~Mable (chat) 08:07, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

External list

Someone has put together a list elsewhere of fictional non-binary characters. It could be mined for ones that satisfy the requirements of this page. It is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15gFNIpYesvtur_QIA_dkWk_VAVTOGtXwunGczo8dmsg I will add ones that I think meet the criteria. JesseW, the juggling janitor 07:10, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

I personally mined Nonbinary.org's list to get the current list. I doubt this list will help much, but I'll have a look. I'm already glad some of my personal favorite nonbinaries are in there. ~Mable (chat) 08:34, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Great, thank you. Two I looked at but wasn't sure about were "The One Who Looks Like Neither a Man nor a Woman" (not sure whether this list or intersex list, or somewhere else), and "Corellon Larethian" (not clear whether there is canonical support). I'd be glad for your thoughts. JesseW, the juggling janitor 02:51, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

I wasn't able to find anything on "The One ...", but Corellon Larethian has some interesting sources. Both Kotaku and The Huffington Post quote the D&D rulebook, which says: "The elf god Corellon Larethian is often seen as androgynous or hermaphroditic, for example, and some elves in the multiverse are made in Corellon’s image. You could also play a female character who presents herself as a man, a man who feels trapped in a female body, or a bearded female dwarf who hates being mistaken for a male. Likewise, your character’s sexual orientation is for you to decide." I don't think there's anything particularly useful for this article, though. It's all more LGBT in D&D in general. Which, honestly sounds like a topic worth having all on its own: LGBT in Dungeons & Dragons. ~Mable (chat) 10:44, 17 November 2016 (UTC)

Hm, thanks for finding those. JesseW, the juggling janitor 04:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

The Forgotten Realms wiki has several good sources for Corellon Larethian, especially the note from Demihuman Deities: "Although Corellon had no gender, sources refer to him by male pronouns, since elves perceived him as a male father figure. His avatar is also stated to manifest as an androgynous male elf." http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Corellon#cite_note-DD1e-p91-4 Corellon Nymeros (talk) 14:32, 19 October 2018 (UTC)

Another from the list that might be appropriate is Dr. Haru Tanaka, a one-episode character from the TV show Bones (TV series). The episode the appear in focuses on their non-binary identity, according to http://bones.wikia.com/wiki/Haru_Tanaka (which I know isn't a sufficient source on its own). JesseW, the juggling janitor 04:38, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Ah, I remember that episode. The usual characters in the show tried to figure out the character's gender. It was rather awkward. The character doesn't have much notability, however. There's this article by a website I've never heard of before, saying that they're "androgynous", but that's it. I'm not sure if that's really enough, seeing as they're such a one-off character ^_^; I think there isn't actually enough confirmation: even in the episode itself, the character never said anything about their gender, and the creators have (as far as I know) never confirmed anything. They might just happen to look androgynous for some reason. ~Mable (chat) 09:13, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Makes sense. Glad I brought it up here first. JesseW, the juggling janitor 05:05, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

OK, next one. :-) Hedwig Robinson from Hedwig and the Angry Inch (musical). The article includes a citation for the claim that Hedwig is genderqueer. Seems pretty clearly appropriate to add to me. JesseW, the juggling janitor 05:05, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Yes, that seems perfect! I'm adding it as we speak :) ~Mable (chat) 13:33, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

Actor names

Live action characters exist because actors bring them to life. The names of actors should be included for film, television, web series, and podcasts. I could do a bold edit, but I think consensus is the courteous approach here. Also, if the actor names are included the table formatting code should be changed to wiki markups that set the % of column widths. For example:

Character	Actor	Source	Source type	Gender identity	Notes	Ref

Pyxis Solitary yak 12:32, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I would put "actor" after "source" and "source type", but other than that, I am all-in. Sounds like a good idea. Moreover, now we have subsections, "source type" can likely be removed from the table, freeing up some space everywhere. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 12:44, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

I was thinking the same about the "source type" column. In the // Television, web series, and podcasts // section the "Notes" column can include if a program is a web series or podcast -- I also think in this section "Source" could be changed to "Show" (because that's what they are). Pyxis Solitary yak 13:20, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

Right now, we're actually not listing any characters from podcasts, so I removed that part from the title. This way, the "source type" becomes particularly irrelevant for that one. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 14:06, 8 November 2018 (UTC)

mogumo should be on this list

Mogumo is from the manga fukakai na boku no subete wo and is non-binary. Masterball2 (talk) 03:30, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

See #Dealing with non-notable additions above. Fukakai no Boku doesn't seem to have been covered by any reliable independent sources yet, so we can't include it yet. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 10:46, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

oh,okay,that work has no article,but mogumo is said to be non-binary by a website known as tvtropes. Masterball2 (talk) 18:41, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

TVTropes isn't considered a reliable source under Wikipedia's guidelines because it is completely created by its users, with no real editorial oversight. Same with fanwikis. ~Maplestrip/Mable (chat) 19:41, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

It's still confirmed that Mogumo is non-binary. It's necessary to know that Mogumo is non-binary in order for the manga's plot to make sense. It's confirmed in the very 1st chapter. https://mangakakalot.com/chapter/fukakai_na_boku_no_subete_o/chapter_1 Masterball2 (talk) 03:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

Year

There's inconsistency in how the "year" field for serial works is currently being used. Mostly it is used to describe when the work itself started/ended, but some use it to note when the character first appeared. I think there's value in noting the latter, especially in long-running works where the character may not turn up until far down the road, but it shouldn't be mixed up with the former. I'm leaning toward using the year field for the work's run, and noting the character's first appearance in the "notes" field. Oornery (talk) 21:18, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

CfD nomination of Category:Genderqueer

Non-human characters

I think it's a bit silly that this list includes so many non-humans such as angels, demons, shape-shifters, supernatural beings, etc. It really erodes the usefulness of the list, in my opinion. I can think of a dozen fictional characters that are capable of changing genders through magic or supernatural powers. Someone calling them "non-binary" or "genderfluid" doesn't really mean that much. We might as well list "God" while we're at it, since many sources consider God to be genderless, but anthropomorphic. Kaldari (talk) 19:32, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, as seen at the top of this talk page (under the bullet point Determining whether a character is eligible), those characters aren't supposed to be here. Speaking for myself, I just got tired of cleaning up the page. Oornery (talk) 23:34, 16 February 2020 (UTC)

What about works that don't fit in any categories

So I was going to add Nine, a main character in Jon Bois' multimedia story 17776 but it doesn't really fit in any of the available categories. Where should I put them?

• Allie 849 (talk) 18:28, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to the wiki Allie 849. I see you're pretty new. You can pretty much go ahead and do whatever is useful or needed, such as creating a new new category. (If someone disagrees they may change it or revert the edit, which is no big deal. At that point you either accept their reason or you talk about how to resolve it.) Perhaps add an === Other === section and put the new entry there. Alsee (talk) 03:13, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Pseudononbinary character graveyard

I am creating this section in the Talk page in the hopes of making easily accessible a list of characters who, while they may seem, or technically be, nonbinary, probably should not (still) be included in the Article page, to 1) preemptively persuade people away from re-adding them, 2) give myself and others a place to put characters who seem sooo cool and baaasically canon nonbinary, even if they do not belong in the actual article, so we can feel like they're noted somewhere, and 3) perhaps, with the help of other editors, create a suggestive discussion of what constitutes a meaningfully nonbinary character for the purposes of this article, to aid in future eligibility determinations.

Name	Source material	Previous Listed Gender identity	Explanation for Removal
Aziraphale, Beelzebub, Gabriel, Hastur, Ligur, and Michael	Good Omens	Agender	The book mentions that Aziraphale is perceived as a gay man and that this is incorrect because angels are sexless. In a tweet Neil Gaiman specified that they have neither sex nor gender identity.
Twogami / Imposter	Danganronpa	Non-binary	Gender that is unknown, ambiguous, or undefined to the audience of a work is not equivalent to known nonbinary gender.
Master Chief	Halo (franchise)
Chick the Cherub	John Dough and the Cherub
Zoë Hange	Attack on Titan	Undefined
Akiyama Mizuki	Project Sekai: Colorful Stage	Ambiguous
Ashiok	Magic: the Gatherin	Officially Unspecified
Nights	Nights into Dreams	Genderfluid	As much as I like these characters, they are normatively non-gendered for their fictional species that do not have humanlike gender systems. They fail to meet the eligibility requirements.
Reala		Agender/Non-binary
The Knight	Hollow Knight	Agender
Pat	Saturday Night Live	Androgynous	Gender that is unknown to the viewer of a work is not equivalent to known nonbinary gender, and, while this character is pretty notable as a portrayal of androgyny, the entire point of the character and the sketch series is that Pat must, per the transphobic logic of the media Pat came to exist in, have a binary gender that is merely frustratingly and disgustingly concealed. Pat is neither stated, nor, indeed, intended to be nonbinary.
Asari	Mass Effect	Ambiguous	Extraterrestrial species variously described as all-female and mono-gendered, or hermaphroditic and sexually ambiguous.

Nick 556 (talk) 15:02, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Thought I'd respond to this since I've done a good deal of editing on the main page. Your graveyard reminds me of my sandbox which has characters I stuck there because I couldn't find good sources for them, so I call that a graveyard too. Anyway, looking at your edits, it appears the following had sources for being non-binary:

• Chick the Cherub in John Dough and the Cherub
• Zoë Hange in Attack on Titan
• Glen/Glenda Ray in Seed of Chucky
• Pat in SNL
• Twogami / Imposter in Danganronpa
• Master Chief in Halo (franchise)
• Nights in Nights into Dreams
• Reala in Nights into Dreams
• The Knight in Hollow Knight

I've wanted to change that notice for a while, expanding it beyond the "human experience" (or equivalent to it), but cannot due to the lack of permissions in that area, which is why it seems you removed many of these entries. In any case, it looks like the former entries for Chick the Cherub, Zoë Hange, Pat in SNL, and Nights have reliable sources. Not sure about the other ones. The Nights entry, the game's creator (Yuji Naka) says "Men or women, we all have dreams, so I thought that the residents in the dream world shouldn’t have a gender, rather, the form of the characters should be determined by the person who is dreaming" in an interview. Naa does talk about Reala but doesn't talk about gender, so that entry rings hollow. And those who created Hollow Knight say they support people seeing The Knight as Agender, saying "it's fantastic that players could feel empowered in such a way" and say that "HK does (almost explicitly) confirm its protagonist is genderless." So that seems to count too. I think these issues could be addressed in a page which I have been meaning to create, titled something like Non-binary characters in fiction, like the Asexual characters in fiction page. Back in early October, I started planning a page for it but never did it because of other stuff. But I'd be willing to get back to it again.Historyday01 (talk) 21:36, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

The article itself states (at current) "This is a list of fictional characters that either self-identify as non-binary (or genderqueer) or have been identified by outside parties as such. Listed are agender, bigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, and other characters of non-binary gender, as well as characters of any third gender." As such, I believe that the page should only list characters who the source text itself or sufficiently authoritative members of the text's creative team identify as personally holding nonbinary gender identities à la the listed nonbinary gender identities, that is, in the manner of a transgender or gender nonconforming human, or a human who identifies with a gender form particular to their culture that is not manhood or womanhood.

Re: Chick the Cherub, the blogger cited seems to understand Chick as genderless, but the post and comments still confirm that Chick was intended to be of unconfirmed gender as a draw to interpretation of Chick as a boy or Girl. Re: Hange, the article cited repeatedly makes it clear that Hange's gender is unconfirmed, rather than confirmed as nonbinary. Re: Pat, quoth the web article: "probably a woman," quoth the book: "a character whose gender is never revealed." With regards to Hollow Knight, my experience of the game is that the Knight, like other Vessels, is not a man or a woman because they are a created being with a singular terrible purpose and do not have the same kind of autonomy or personhood as other characters who do have identified genders.

I think the Non-binary characters in fiction page is an interesting idea, but I think it would not fully address the issue of disambiguation (which I do not claim is fully possible, much less simple) between characters who are of nonbinary gender identity in a way that is comparable to a transgender human, characters who are of unconfirmed/ambiguous gender, and characters who do not adhere to binary gender because it does not apply to them. I think it could be useful to create a page, perhaps interlinked in some way with Gender in speculative fiction and/or Single-gender world, for portrayals of genderless beings in fiction, or fictional genderless characters. Androgyny in fiction is a category with the subcategory Fictional androgynes but neither seems to have an article proper. Nick 556 (talk) 15:20, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

@Nick 556, I guess I assumed this discussion was over when I posted my last comment on November 24.Oops. Anyway, I completely agree with you that the page "should only list characters who the source text itself or sufficiently authoritative members of the text's creative team identify as personally holding nonbinary gender identities." I don't even mind the notice that those characters should be human or humanoid anymore. What you said about Chick the Cherub, Hange, and Hollow Knight, that makes sense. In terms of the Non-binary characters in fiction page, I can agree with you it does not "fully address the issue of disambiguation" between characters which are non-binary "in a way that is comparable to a transgender human, characters who are of unconfirmed/ambiguous gender, and characters who do not adhere to binary gender because it does not apply to them." Creating such a page, which would be "interlinked in some way with Gender in speculative fiction and/or Single-gender world, for portrayals of genderless beings in fiction, or fictional genderless characters" would be a mighty task. That is good there is a category and a subcategory , and perhaps there could be a page for that, titled something like "Androgyny in fiction". That might be a better idea than trying to change the Non-binary characters in fiction page into something named Media portrayal of non-binary people, although I'm still open to that. I could easily fold everything from the Non-binary characters in fiction page into that new page. Historyday01 (talk) 02:43, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Unsourced content graveyard

I said I was going to remove the content on December 30, but I felt it was time to make the move now than wait until the end of the year. If it was just a little bit of content that needed citations, that would be fine, but there is way too much as it stands now, so I'm moving it here rather than deleting it outright. I hope that people can provide sources for this stuff so it can be re-added to the main article. Historyday01 (talk) 16:35, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

Haruka from Sailor Moon

Haruka says in the manga that she has aspects of male and female personality. It's explicitly stated. Wouldn't that make her nonbinary? --KimYunmi (talk) 20:52, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

KimYunmi, good question. I think so? A CBR article seems to imply it:

In Sailor Moon Crystal, the most recent anime version for the franchise, Sailor Neptune remarks that Sailor Uranus is both male and female. She’s the first non-binary character referenced that way in the Sailor Moon franchise. While the Sailor Moon Stars arc of the 90s anime saw male pop stars transform into female Sailor Senshi, they were not explicitly referenced as non-binary.

I think its also implied in this SYFY article, while this one says they explicitly identify as non-binary, and other says Haruka has an "ambiguous gender." So, yeah, I think that's enough to go on to have an entry for her. On a related note, I also came across an article saying Usagi is bisexual, which is interesting. --Historyday01 (talk) 01:27, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
