List of fictional pansexual characters

This is a list of pansexual characters in fiction, i.e. characters that identify as pansexual or are identified by outside parties to be pansexual. Pansexuality is the sexual, romantic or emotional attraction towards people regardless of their biological sex or gender identity.[1][2] While pansexuality is at times viewed as a sexual orientation in its own right, at other times it's viewed as a branch of bisexuality, to indicate an alternative sexual identity.[2][3][4]

The pansexual pride flag.

This list contains characters across various forms of media that are pansexual, listed in alphabetical order by surname in each section. In the case where characters are identified with only a single name (either first or last) or by a title, that is used instead. To be listed here, characters have to either state in-universe that they are pansexual, be identified as such by either someone involved in the work they appear in, or a reliable, third-party source.

The names are organized alphabetically by surname (i.e. last name), or by single name if the character does not have a surname.

This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

Lando Calrissian The Empire Strikes Back 1980 Billy Dee Williams Lando, a gambler, con artist, playboy, mining engineer, and businessman who administered Cloud City, was confirmed as pansexual, and having fluidity in his sexuality, by a co-writer of Solo, Jonathan Kasdan. Some took this to be a "deeply regressive" move by suggesting this to fans without delivering on it, even as Donald Glover supported the interpretation.[33] Other fans pointed out possible flirting between Han and Lando, shipping them since the 1980s, with shipping expanding in the 1990s. Glover also described Lando as a character who "doesn't have hard and fast boundaries about everything" when it comes to sexual attraction.[34] [35]
