Alfreda Sorensson Night Calls (series)[lower-alpha 1] Katharine Eliska Kimbriel 1996–1997, 2014 Alfreda, the protagonist, is demisexual, with the series starting when she is young, so this is "not apparent yet," according to the author.[22]
Kevin Guardian of the Dead Karen Healey 2010 Although he isn't the protagonist, Kevin is a key part of the book, and he comes out as asexual to his friend, and the book's heroine, Ellie Spencer.[23] This conversation is handled delicately, with Ellie offering support to Kevin when remembering how her sister, a lesbian, has a tough time trying to tell her parents. Unfortunately, as one reviewer puts it, he doesn't explore his asexual identity much after this point.[23]
Reyna Avila Ramírez-Arellano The Heroes of Olympus Rick Riordan 2011 Reyna was given the prophecy by Aphrodite, "You will not find love where you wish or where you hope.

Neil Josten All for the Game series[lower-alpha 2] Nora Sakavic 2013–2014 When asked about his sexuality by a teammate, Neil claims that he "doesn't swing" either way. He never shows any sort of attraction to anyone until later in the series, when he begins to develop feelings for a teammate. Even after beginning an intimate relationship with a male teammate, he continues to affirm that he doesn't swing, but rather only has feelings for his partner. The author confirmed that Neil is on the ace spectrum, saying he is most likely demisexual.[26]
Clariel Clariel Garth Nix 2014 The protagonist "stands out for her assured asexuality", doesn't see the appeal of sex, and wants to live alone in the woods as a forest ranger.[27] Clariel's lack of experience of sexual or romantic attraction are described at multiple points, come up early in the book, and are treated as a core part of who she is as a person[23]
Kelly
Digger		 Part and Parcel Abigail Roux 2015 In a Tumblr Post, Roux described Kelly as a biromantic demisexual and Digger as a "hetero sex positive asexual," saying these identities are important to these characters, herself, and "anyone who desperately needs to be able to relate to those identities."[28]
Nevian
Larryn
Jessana

Julian Deadly Sweet Lies[lower-alpha 3] Erica Cameron Cameron, an asexual author,[30] says that Julian is "100% a confirmed ace character."[31][32] She was glad to include a scene in the book where he has "a personal epiphany about his asexuality."[33]
Supporting character. The Call Peadar Ó Guilín 2016 This book has an asexual character.[34]
Tom This Song Is Not For You Laura Nowlin Tom, one of the book's protagonists, is interested in Ramona romantically but not sexually, and he eventually tells her that he is asexual, as he struggles to accept the bounds of his new identity.[35] One reviewer noted that this book is unique because it is rare that there are asexual characters in young adult fiction, if when readers "see romantic relationships handled the way they are here."
Rivka A Harvest of Ripe Figs[lower-alpha 4] Shira Glassman In this book, Rivka, a warrior, is a major aromantic (and asexual) character.[36]
Nancy Every Heart A Doorway Seanan McGuire The protagonist of this book, Nancy, is asexual, and is, as such, "part of an increasing number of ace leads in fantasy and science fiction in recent years," as one reviewer puts it.[23] At one point, Nancy says "I'm asexual.

Tash Tash Hearts Tolstoy Kathryn Ormsbee 2018 Throughout the process of publishing this book, Ormsbee said she struggles with knowledge of the lack of "ace rep books," with more pressure to provide representation for all those on the asexual spectrum.[41] She added that this book is not for all, noting the vastness and naunce of the asexual experience, with every asexual reader unique, having different reading tastes, and admitted that "Tash's experience won't resonate with many."
Corey Before I Let Go Marieke Nijkamp 2019 This book features an asexual protagonist, Corey, whose asexuality is integral to the story, which her editor was ok with.[34][42] Some have described this book as a gripping "asexual tale of friendship and love."[43]
Alice Let's Talk About Love Claire Kann Kann noted that Alice was the inspiration, as a fully confident character, but that she did a lot of research to brush away her biases and "write the story that genuinely reflected Alice's experience since asexuality is a spectrum."[41] In this story, Alice has a rocky summer, with her relations with other complicated, her job at a local library seeming to ground her until she has a crush on a new employee.
Aled Last Radio Silence Alice Oseman Oseman said she added asexual characters into this book because of the "absolute scarcity of asexual representation," and made clear that asexuality is real (and valid), as Frances and Aled are united together not by love but through making a podcast together.[41]
