Elemental Non-Binary Character Name: Who Are They?

comingsoon.net:

Those hunting for the non-binary character name have come to the right place. Though subtle in the movie itself, there is a character that uses They/Them pronouns who has been confirmed as non-binary. Here is the need-to-know info about Pixar’s non-binary character.

In the books accompanying the movie, it’s explained that Lake Ripple is non-binary and uses They/Them pronouns.

Lake Ripple is the first Pixar movie character to be labeled as non-binary. In the movie, they are accompanied by their long-term girlfriend.

Lake Ripple is confirmed to be voiced by Ava Hauser, who revealed the information with a post on their Twitter account:

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT I got to play Pixar's first nonbinary character! Meet Lake! I voice Lake in the new movie <a href=«https://twitter.com/hashtag/Elemental?src=hash&ref_src=» https:>#Elemental

! I'm seeing it in theaters tonight with my friends, so you can catch it in theaters too if you wanna see them.? pic.twitter.com/6kBPGvCATE

Actor Ava Hauser is also known for playing Hoku in Cyclone, Kid in Life With LEO(h), Aria in Spooky Month, Boybrush in Return to Monkey Island, and Cleo in Cleo – A Pirate’s Tale. (via IMDB)

While Lake Ripple is far from a main character, they still play a key role when Wade introduces Ember to the Ripple family.

With Elemental, a movie aimed primarily at children, the introduction of a non-binary character will hopefully resonate with youths who were waiting for someone more like them. Pixar often themes its content around acceptance and being true to yourself, so it’s fitting that a non-binary character now has the spotlight.
