Happy pride to Tate from Remnants who is I think one of the first LGBTQ+ characters I can remember being exposed to when growing up.
Scholastic censored aspects of the series that were more open about her sexuality - lesbian - when these books were initially coming out in the early 2000s, so there are actually different versions of certain books.
I have vivid memories of her hair being described in the book I had as a kid as a style that in-universe was popular among queer youth but in the version of the book I own now it is merely described as cool/fashionable essentially.
In the Gone series by Michael Grant (who helped co-write Remnants) - a lot of Remnants characters kind of have archetypes reused lol and Dekka in many ways is Tate if she was written during less censored times.
Remnants has such lovely lesbian rep in Tate, one of our kindest and most selfless Remnants ❤️, so I really wanted to get a feel for drawing her next. I've got decently solid looks for Yago, 2Face, and now Tate. I think next I'll work on Jobs and Mo. After a few more sketches with Tate, Yago, and Amelia lol. I also sketched a very sketchy cover redraw from the cover that features Tate in her limelight moment!
