The trans character Camila receives ongoing focus, including romantic storylines and maturation arcs that creators explicitly expanded from the source book to incorporate contemporary identity topics. This casting of trans actors Nila as the young version and Alice Marcone as the adult version, combined with dedicated identity arcs across seasons, shifts narrative weight away from the core premise toward normalization of these elements as central plot drivers. Writers including Luíza Fazio and Gautier Lee describe the season as “the season of the lesbians,” prioritizing queer romantic dramas, desire, and heartbreak over discovery narratives and drawing directly from their personal experiences in a deliberately diverse writers’ room.

This approach, alongside statements from creators Fazio, Lee, and Marcone that treat LGBTQ+ representation and normalization of queer relationships as core storytelling choices, makes the ideological framing foundational rather than incidental. The result intrudes on the entertainment value by subordinating time-travel subplots and youth-targeted adventures to multiple lesbian romance and sorority identity threads.
