LGBTQ+ Keeper

Note: At this time, the information on this page isn't considered factual and is mainly headcanons, as none of this has been referenced or mentioned in the Keeper series or by the author herself. This is simply stating another possibility of pairings and isn't meant to offend anyone.

The Theory
Many people think that characters in Keeper of the Lost Cities are LGBTQ+, which is normal, considering that the world holds many LGBTQ+ people, and normalization of LGBTQ+ is rapidly growing.

Dex
Many people think Dex is bisexual. This is shown through many instances and ships such as Detz/FedEx. Some people think that even though Dex doesn't hate Fitz anymore, he can't possibly like "Wonderboy" even if he stopped with the nickname, but others believe that the nickname is just a way of Dex trying to hide his feelings.

(See also: shipped with Keefe (Keefex), Tam (Tex), Wylie (Wylex), Sophie (Dexphie), Biana (Diana), Linh (Dinh), or Marella (Dexella))

Biana
Many people headcanon Biana as bisexual (Bi-ana), but others headcanon her as gay, dubbing her "Lesbiana" and pairing her with Sophie (Sophiana), Marella (Mariana) or Linh (Linhiana).

Sophie
Some people think Mysterious Miss Foster is asexual, bisexual, lesbian or greysexual, though it is not clear. She's also been headcanoned as nonbinary, pansexual, and bisexual. She is shipped with Linh (Solinh), Biana (Sophiana), and/or Marella (Sophella).

Keefe
Keefe is widely headcanoned to be pansexual (or in some cases, gay.) Some people ship him with Sophie (Keefoster, Sokeefe or Foster-Keefe), Biana (Keana or Kiana), or Linh (Kenh), while others think he pairs better with Fitz (Feefe), Dex (Deefe), or Tam (Kam).

Tam
Tam is headcanoned by many as gay and shipped with Keefe (Kam) due to them hating each other, similar to Drarry. However, some contradict this by saying he has a crush on Biana (Bam/Tiana), because of his "stealing a glance at Biana" in book four when Keefe says Tam is still not in the Foster-Fan-Club.

Linh
Linh is mainly headcanoned as asexual and/or lesbian and liking Sophie (Solinh) or Biana (Linhiana). She has also been headcanoned as a trans girl.

Fitz
Fitz is widely headcanoned as queer, ranging from pan/poly/bisexual to transgender, and many ship him with Dex (Detz or FedEx), again due to the supposedly not liking each other thing. People also ship him with Keefe (Feefe) due to them being best friends or Tam (Fim).

Wylie
Wylie is headcanoned as gay and/or a trans boy (born in a female body but is actually male) in many cases. There isn't much to go on in the books, however, since we don't know much about him. So, in theory, he could be anything.

Marella
Marella is headcannoned as being lesbian, biromantic/bisexual, demisexual, asexual, and/or agender, and being romantically involved with Sophie (Sophella), Biana (Mariana ), or Linh (Marellinh).

LGBTQ+
Someone's sexual/romantic/asexual orientations, or gender/sex identity. LGBTQ, or GLBTQ, is an initialism that stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer. In use since the 1990s, the term is an adaptation of the initialism LGB, which was used to replace the term gay, which was sometimes an insult in reference to the LGBTQ+ community beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s. The (mostly) full acronym: LGBTTQQIAAP stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, pansexual, but people are currently figuring out more and more.
