Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 1): General Bracket Match 2
Grandfer Aurin | Identity: nonbinary | Media: The High Republic Phase II
Grandfer Aurin was a non-binary Umbaran resident of Dalna who appears briefly in Path of Deceit and Path of Vengeance. They sold droid parts in the market, and while not a member of the Path of the Open Hand, they were friendly with Marda Ro. However, when Marda returns to the market in Path of Vengeance, they are a lot more uncertain about the Path and more cold to Marda.
Santari Khri | Identity: nonbinary (she/they) | Media: Jedi Survivor
Santari Khri was a Jedi during the High Republic who appears in visions in Jedi Survivor. The presumptive Marshall of Koboh, they designed the puzzle shrines on the planet and were involved in the research into the Koboh Abyss occurring on the planet and moon. She was a close friend of Dagan Gera, but when Dagan wanted to travel to Tannallor in defiance of the council’s orders, she was forced to cut off his arm. However, despite his treason, they ordered him to be placed into a bacta tank. They likely survived the Emergence of Koboh and went on to help defeat the Nihil.
Database entries refer to Santari with both she/her and they/them pronouns. It is unknown if this is intentional or the result of their gender being changed in some fashion later in development.

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 2): General Bracket Match 30
Matthea “Matty” Cathley | Identity: wlw | Media: The High Republic Phase II
Matty Cathley was the talkative (and ADHD-coded) padawan of Master Leebon, the Jedi Order’s representative to Jedha’s convocation of the Force. Matty was assigned to introduce Vildar Mac to Jedha, causing her to spend the lead up to and the Battle of Jedha by his side. She ended up defending the bar Enlightenment from rioters and enforcer droids. During the battle, her master was consumed by the Leveler. Vildar became her new master. After the battle, she was assigned to investigate the Path of the Open Hand with Oliviah Zeveron. She had a crush on Oliviah, and the mission reignited that. However, she was eventually able to process her star-struckness. Their investigation put them right in the middle of the Night of Sorrow. During the battle, when being attacked by the Leveler, Matty was able to push through its fear effect.
Cohmac Vitus | Identity: mlm | Media: The High Republic Phase I
Cohmac Vitus was a Jedi scholar with an interest in folklore and cultural studies. Due to the Great Disaster, his trip to Starlight Beacon was disrupted and he, with his friend Orla Jareni, the two Jedi padawans, and the crew of the ship they were traveling with were left stranded on an ancient Drengir infested space station. Mistaking the Sith alchemy keeping the Drengir dormant for a disturbance in the Force, he was part of removing the statues sealing the beasts and then putting them back, at least slowing the spread of the Drengir across the galaxy. During that adventure, he grew close with the padawan Reath Silas, and took him as his padawan after Reath’s master’s death. They spent their time traveling the galaxy, securing cultural artifacts from planets experiencing conflict and doing comparative folklore studies- a good way to get the studious Reath out into the field. Together they investigated a Nihil plan to build a mass shadow generator and the raiders’ infiltration of Corellia.
Ever since the death of his master when he was a padawan, the Jedi’s pro-death theology never felt right with him. He spent over a decade pushing down his grief (the one emotion the Jedi actually aren’t allowed to feel), and while his adventures on the Amaxine Statione allowed him to come to work through his feelings, it left him even more uncertain of his path as a Jedi. He also doubted the idea that the Dark Side wasn’t to be studied. He also didn’t think the Jedi Order was suitable in a galaxy consumed by the Nihil. After hearing Kantam’s story about leaving the Order and feeling Orla’s death during the destruction of Starlight Beacon, he decided to leave the Order. He knighted his padawan and then gave Reath his lightsaber before hitting the bricks.

THE HIGH REPUBLIC CHECKLIST:
If you want to consume these in order, I really like Youtini's High Republic Reading Order list for being extremely comprehensive and solidly updated for Phase III+ or the more middle-ground comprehensive High Republic guide from starwars.com or Wookieepedia generally does a good job putting things in individual release order.
This post is just a checklist of what's available and not quite a reflection of read order. (Which I generally suggest following release order, not chronological order, given that you're often meant to know/not know certain things.) Possibly missing a short story here or there, but assume the novels are in read order for each given phase and that it's a useful list for remembering what you have/haven't read yet!
