Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 3): General Bracket Match 16

Sky Graf | Identity: non-binary | Media: The High Republic Quest for Planet X

Sky Graf was a young member of the wealthy Graf family. A year before the Night of Sorrow, their father went missing looking for Planet X. To prove themselves to their family and possibly find their father, they stole their older brother’s ship the Brightbird and deemed up with Dass Leffbruk (who had previously made it to Planet X) and the Jedi padawan Rooper Nitani to use a Force artifact to try to find Planet X during the great hyperspace race. The Force artifact brought them backwards through the planets Dass had recently visited, where they face challenges while also trying to outrun Sky’s brother. During their journey, they also had to take the Path of the Open Hand member Fel Ix as a hostage. Fel Ix began to break through his cult programming, and when the news of a possible battle between the Path and the Republic reached the crew of the Brightbird, he convinced Sky to give up the search for Planet X to travel to Dalna. Fel Ix succeeded by appealing to Sky’s connection with their father by pointing out how he was a father himself. Working with Fel Ix, Sky helped defeat the Graf code that was corrupting the communication buoys in the Dalna sector, preventing more violence during the Night of Sorrow. Their brother, Helis, eventually caught up with them. But the siblings were able to talk about their feelings and reconcile. The two of them would fly the Brightbird together and continue to prospect. But Sky would no longer chase their father’s ghost.

Sky’s lifestyle was a combination of the hard and technical life of a pilot and hyperspace prospector combined with the luxury of their family’s level of wealth. They are very intelligent when it comes to science. They are confident, with a prickly exterior. They didn’t connect with Fel Ix the way Dass or Rooper did until the end, not wanting to try to understand the perspective of someone who tried to kill them. When things got serious, they showed a surprising capacity of violence and a willingness to do anything to achieve their goals. They only felt like they had unconditional love from their father, his disappearance driving them even further in conflict with their family. At the end of the book, they are more at peace, but still eager to make their own name separate from the Graf dynasty. Unusually for transgender characters in Star Wars, there is explicit discussion in their internal monolog about how they felt gender dysphoria when they started to go through puberty and how their father got them a binder.

Sabé | Identity: bisexual | Media: Queen’s Trilogy/Darth Vader comics

Sabé, born Tsabin, was a member of a family of musicians who set their daughter on the same path. However, she was only skilled enough to ever have a supporting role and instead volunteered to be one of Queen Amidala’s handmaidens. She became Padmé’s most trusted operative, pretending to be the Queen during the Invasion of Naboo. After Padmé’s term as queen ended, she remained her operative and worked with Tonra, a member of Naboo’s security force, to attempt to free slaves on Tatooine. They eventually made contact with the White Suns, a Tatioone slave liberation movement. When the Clone Wars began, Sabé once again acted as Padmé’s decoy when Padmé was away from Coruscant conducting an investigation. There she learned Anakin and Padmé were married. However, to make sure Padmé didn’t have her closest confidant, Palpatine blasted Sabé’s brain with the Dark Side until she didn’t want to work closely with Padmé anymore. Sabé spent the rest of the war helping the White Suns.

After Padmé died, Sabé founded an organization known as the Amidalans- a rebel cell consisting of Naboo (including some of the other handmaidens), who sought to avenge Padmé. They attempted to assassinate Vader (who they deemed responsible) on multiple occasions. Sabé focused on deception, preventing to work with Vader to find Padmé’s killer and infiltrating Crimson Dawn.  until she figured out that Vader was Anakin. Remembering how Padmé’s last words (which had been recorded) was “There’s still good in [Anakin]”, she decided to actually become Vader’s operative. Her given reason was that the Empire and Vader did bring order to the galaxy, but it is just as likely she is following her queen’s last order to attempt to bring the man she loved back to the light. She remained by Vader’s side even when her fellow handmaidens came to “rescue” her. Her last appearance in the comics was Vader abandoning her on a beach until she could decide to fully commit to the Dark Side (emotionally speaking).

Sabé had crushes on a handful of people and even a romantic relationship with Tonra, but her most important was her romantic love for Padmé. These feelings were requited, with Queen’s Hope creating a love triangle where Sabé represented ideology and duty and Anakin was selfish love. As we know, Padmé chose Anakin, but a deciding factor was Sabé’s self esteem being temporarily shattered by Palpatine. Her wider moral view seems to have degraded after spending over two decades focusing on avenging Padmé instead of joining the wider Rebellion. However, even working for the Empire, she hasn’t gone completely evil yet- doing things like pretending to kill a bunch of refugees to gain their loyalty instead of actually killing them.

The beauty of the Deutsche airforce painted in a sky of the proud colours of the Deutsche Tricolour. Here you see my artpiece of Graf Zeppelin also known by the name LZ 127. It was primarily a passenger carrying airship and not used in warfare.

Graf Bobby and Baron Mucki walk home after an evening at the club. "Just look," says Mucki, pointing up at the clear starry sky. "Isn't it beautiful? When you look up at these millions of stars, you realize once again what dust in creation man is. So many stars!" "Yes," says Bobby, deeply moved, "and that's only the stars over Vienna."

[etymology-of-the-emblem]

Asbel / アスベル and Hrest / フレスト

Asbel is a wind mage and apprentice to the leader of the Magi - Prince Ced - in Fire Emblem: Thracia 776. In Japanese, his name is written アスベル (rōmaji: asuberu), officially romanized as Asvel. The name is a corruption of アスブル (rōmaji: asuburu), Ásbrú: another name for the rainbow bridge Bifröst in Norse mythology. The bridge was said to connect the realm of man, Midgard, to that of the gods, Asgard. Aspects of Asbel's character may be indicative of this namesake: he is of common birth, yet came to be close allies to two descendants of the Twelve Crusaders, those blessed by the gods. Additionally, the Norse god Heimdallr, whose hall lies where Bifröst touches the sky, is sometimes called the father of humanity. In the poem Rígsþula, Heimdallr is instead depicted establishing humanity's social structures, from slave to noble. This may be why Asbel is the wielder of the Grafcalibur tome, a name invoking the German title of Graf.

Hrest (JP: フレスト; rōmaji: furesuto) is the name of the city Asbel once lived in, with his father serving as its bishop. The Japanese name is a shortening of ビフレスト (rōmaji: bifuresuto), the aforementioned Bifröst. It is said that during Ragnarök, the rainbow bridge would be destroyed by the jötnar of Muspell invading Asgard. This event seems to be represented in Fire Emblem with the Empire invading the city in search of Leif. Asbel's father, who sacrificed himself for the protection of the fleeing prince and Asbel, would then be a narrative proxy for Heimdallr, who serves as the guardian of Bifröst against the jötnar.

Amara Kel/Howlrunner | Identity: wlw couple | Media: “Amara Kel’s Rules for TIE Pilot Survival (Probably)”

Amara Kel is the narrator of the short story “Amara Kel’s Rules for TIE PIlot Survival (Probably)” which is her internal thoughts about how to survive as a line TIE Pilot. This military satire story also details her relationship with another pilot, nicknamed Howlrunner. Amara Kel is snarky and cynical, dissoluted with the Imperial Navy but without the kind of spark that would lead her to defecting. She is happy to stay in the background, staying alive without promotion and glory. However, Howl’s skilled flying inspires in her a sense of love and respect for the TIE fighter and the wire thin finesse in its flying.

Amara and Howl’s Theta Squadron was one of the squadrons dispatched to hunt the Millenium Falcon through the asteroid field around Hoth. In spite of rule number one “Don’t Get Attached”, Howl pulls off some crazy flying maneuvers and saves Amara from being eaten by the exogorth. Miraculously, they both survive that deployment.

Last line tag/Six Sentence Sunday

Tagged back by @faytelumos and @blind-the-winds to share the last line I wrote, as well as tagged by @ahordeofwasps to post the last six sentences I worked on.

Tagging, if you'd like, @fearofahumanplanet, @chayscribbles, @peresephones & @pertinax--loculos to either share your last line or last six sentences.

Luckily, I've been editing Those Horrid, Horrid Things and added a new graf (TWs for language):

The ravens were circling overhead. They had been following Loki all day, as tiny pinpricks in the sky, as shadows lurking among the trees. Huginn and Muninn — thought and memory — had pilfered from his breakfast and shat in his doorway. A visit from the beady-eyed fucks could only mean one thing, and so Loki had made his way to Valhalla. The fortress gleamed gold in the sunlight, its roof thatched with shields so bright they hurt to look at. Loki craned his neck and traced a thin line of smoke to the rear of the hall.

wanna hear some basic pronoun statistics from The High Republic Character Encyclopedia?

All THR characters have pronouns. there are 284 character entries in the encyclopedia (out of 296 entries total, the rest mostly comprising groups), with 3 entries for 2 characters together (Ceret and Terec, the Twinkle sisters, Breebak and Tip). In all two-character cases the characters use the same pronoun set.

There are 3 pronoun categories: he/him, she/her, and they/them.

In total, there are 161 he/him entries (162 characters), 117 she/her entries (118 characters), and 5 they/them entries corresponding to 6 characters.

The characters using they/them pronouns are: Helion Volte (Jedi in The Blade comic), Terec and Ceret (Jedi twins in the adult comic), Kantam Sy (the main character's Jedi master in the all-ages comic), Cincey (Path of the Open Hand member in Path of Deceit), and Sky Graf (teen pilot in Quest for Planet X). I believe Volte had unspecified pronouns before the encyclopedia's publication, while the other characters are explicitly non-binary. Kantam, Cincey, and Sky are human, the others aliens.

The Jedi have the highest number of non-binary characters, both absolutely and proportionally. The remaining non-binary characters are Citizens (Sky Graf) or Threats to the Jedi (Cincey). Galactic Republic is the only category with no they/them characters.

Counting the number of entries, the Threats to the Jedi category has the highest proportion of she/her characters at 45.1 %. The percentages are comparable between the Jedi and the Threats to the Jedi, while the other two categories are more dominated by he/him characters (65.5 % for the Galactic Republic and 61.3 % for Citizens).

All 3 individual droids (GT-11, P3-7A, ZZ-10) use he/him pronouns. Characters such as Avon's droid J-6 or Santari Khri's droid ZN-A4, both of whom use she/her, were not included in the encyclopedia.

There are at least 3 characters who were referred to by gender neutral pronouns at some point but do not have them listed in the encyclopedia: Bibs, Cibaba and Santari Khri. Bibs was written as a male character but is not referred to by any pronouns in the works he appears in, and a reference book used they/them for them. The character is now considered a he/they pronouns user by the author. Cibaba is referred to as "they" by Ty's droid in The Nameless Terror but maybe the character in question simply didn't want to assume their gender. Santari was sometimes referred to by gender-neutral pronouns in the game's databank.
