This is portrayed by trans actor Misia Butler and framed as a focal point of acceptance and self-determination. Creator Charlie Covell, who uses they/them pronouns and identifies as non-binary, has highlighted queer representation as a deliberate priority, claiming myths are 'inherently queer' and ensuring multiple trans and LGBTQ+ characters to avoid tokenism.

The series explicitly explores gender politics, feminism, identity, and power dynamics as major themes, with modern twists prioritizing these over traditional myth fidelity. Casting emphasizes diversity, and audience reviews frequently criticize the 'drenched' woke elements, DEI-driven inclusions, and trans messaging as forced or detracting from the story. These choices make identity politics a structural driver for character arcs and subplots rather than incidental, leading to cancellation amid backlash despite the premise involving gods and prophecy.
