She’s Apex Legends’ first trans character, and after a tough time transng her teens, we see her nfince and learship she the Apex Gam. As a Controller legend, Catalyst’s terraformg abili make her a powerful team player on the battlefield. She’s able to barri doors to rner enemy squads, slow enemi down, and even block their visn g her ultimate. She ref to promise on her strong morals, but she dutifully mak time to help others as she prs on wh her own missn. Voiced by trans voice actor Meli Grant, Catalyst is a great addn to Apex Legends’ diverse roster of characters.</p><h2 class="tle2 jsx-3065735273"><strong>Zagrs - Has </strong></h2><p class="jsx-3649800006 ">As much as Has is a game about tryg to fight your way out of the unrworld, ’s also a game about relatnships. Be that faial or romantic, the nversatns you have as Zagrs are jt as important as the giant monsters you kill, and his slick but genuely rg meanor rri you through them all. While you’re given the opportuny to romance both the Fury Megaera and Death-rnate Thanatos, the way Zag’s relatnship to every character the game regardls of suatn or societal standg is somethg tly special to watch. Has ret the bar for stori roguelike gam, and Zagrs is a massive part of why.</p><h2 class="tle2 jsx-3065735273"><strong>Male - Celte</strong> </h2><p class="jsx-3649800006 ">The story of Celte is an unexpectedly ndid one.

Male’s journey as she rists and then tri to make peace wh the parts of herself that ighten her is tly touchg – whether you read that nflict as her more explic stggle wh prsn and anxiety or the journey of transng that Celte’s creator discsed length later on. Male is clever, charmgly stubborn, kd-hearted, and pafully relatable, and her story is a standout part of a game that would be absolutely fantastic already on s own.</p><h2 class="tle2 jsx-3065735273"><strong>Undyne - Unrtale </strong></h2><p class="jsx-3649800006 ">Unrtale’s Undyne is an credibly over-the-top character who suplex boulrs and lov anime, and n eher be an extremely tough boss, or a great iend. So much of her charm om seeg multiple facets of her personaly pendg on your actns – kill some monsters, and you’ll e to know her as a fairly timidatg warrr, but if you take on a more genocidal approach, she be the hero of the game to foil your villao tent. It's only when you go for a pacifist route that you bee privy to what's hidg unr her tough-as-nails exterr… a tough-as-nails terr that wants her iends and loved on to be their very bt self – even if volv dunkg them a trash n.
