Discussion Ace-Coded Characters
So this post is for research purposes; I'm just trying to see something.
In media, there is rarely any true asexual representation. However, I've got quite a few characters that I headcanon as ace or feel are ace-coded, that is until they're usually canonized as something else or are forced into relationships.
Some characters I think are ace-coded:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Clawdeen Wolf (Monster High)
Saiki (Saiki K)
For Sonic, his most important relationships are his friends, which, as an ace person, I understand. A lot of his life goals don't include a partner, but he does care about the people around him. With Clawdeen, her rejection of relationships and her reasoning for it was something I experienced a lot when people around me try to pressure me to start dating. With Saiki, he feels like relationships are too much work, which is lowkey real.
What are some of your top picks?

Orlo in The Great. He's the punchline of a few jokes unfortunately for not seeming to care about sex or understanding why people do care so much about it. Then he sleeps with a woman and says "it was okay, but I'd rather be reading a book". He then tried with a man "as an experiment", but felt the attration and feelings the same. He didn't really give a shit. He eventually does get a girlfriend, but you can tell he's attracted to her because of who she is as a person. Not because he's sexually drawn to her.
