(ETH) – The creator of the Disney Channel cartoon “The Owl House” is not making anything hidden about how the lead character of the show is bisexual — reportedly reflecting her own sexual orientation.
According to the Christian Post, Luz Noceda is believed to be the network’s first bisexual lead character. The report stated that the Series creator Dana Terrace recently announced to her Twitter followers last week that her “stubbornness” in getting leadership at the children’s television network to back her on having a bisexual lead character for the show that debuted in January has finally “paid off.”
Terrace’s post confirmed rumors that the exploration of a relationship between Noceda and another female character in recent episodes is indicative of Noceda’s bisexual identity. A recent episode of the Disney show, which is based on Noceda’s adventures, showed Noceda dancing with another female character named Amity at prom.
“When I was first developing Owl House I always wanted to do a prom episode to make up for my own experiences,” Terrace tweeted. “Back then PROM was an anagram for ‘Perennial Ritual Offering Maiden’. I’m so INCREDIBLY grateful for the crew working to make this episode so badass.”
In the development of the series, Terrace explained that she was open about her intentions to “put queer kids in the main cast.” “I’m a horrible liar so sneaking it in would’ve been hard haha,” she wrote. “When we were greenlit I was told by certain Disney leadership that I could NOT represent any form of bi or gay relationship on the Channel.” “I’m bi! I want to write a bi character … Luckily my stubbornness paid off and now I am VERY supported by current Disney leadership.”
