She-Ra Is Getting a Badass Nonbinary Character in Season 4!
And they'll be played by author Jacob Tobia!
We already knew the first three seasons of Netflix's She-Ra and the Princesses of Power was filled to the brim with tons of positive queer representation and big gay energy, but with the release of the upcoming fourth season of the critically-acclaimed animated show, it looks like we're gonna get even more LGBTQ+ inclusion, this time in the form of a nonbinary character!
\u201cJust announced on prism by @Netflix! Meet @JacobTobia - the voice of Double Trouble!\u201d— She-Ra and the Princesses of Power (@She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) 1571685300
The new character, a mercenary shapeshifter named Double Trouble, was announced earlier today on social media by none other than nonbinary writer, author, and producer Jacob Tobia, who will be voicing the part!
"Fantasy has always been so vital to me because as a nonbinary person, it’s a way of escaping the confines of the world we live in," they said in the video announcement. "It’s the way of building other realities and imagining the world as it could be, not as it is."
"Ever since I was a child, I've dreamed of playing a nonbinary, shapeshifting goblin-elf-princess and now I can say I've done it!" Jacob wrote on Twitter in response to the announcement of their casting! "So much love for my @DreamWorksSheRa family <3 Thrilled to be bringing a lead nonbinary character to life with y'all!"
