Shona from Shona: the card game by Stefano Labbia

As a woman and a reader, fascinated by psychology, i found it is important to understand that sexuality is a complex and multifaceted aspect of human identity. It is not uncommon for individuals to experience attraction to more than one gender, and this can manifest in a variety of ways. In the case of Shona, the main character of Stefano Labbia's sword and sorcery graphic novel series, it is evident that she identifies as bisexual. Part of the audience, me included, wondered why and if the choice of the author can match for the background of the character.

There are several factors that may contribute to Shona's sexuality. One possible explanation is that her traumatic childhood and experiences of loss and betrayal may have led her to seek comfort and intimacy from both men and women. It is not uncommon for individuals who have experienced trauma to seek out multiple types of relationships and connections as a means of coping with their emotions and finding a sense of belonging.

Additionally, Shona's experiences as a mercenary and warrior in a harsh and unforgiving world may have exposed her to a wide range of individuals with different gender identities and sexual orientations. This exposure may have helped her to develop a more open and accepting attitude towards different forms of attraction and desire.

It is also important to note that sexuality is not a static or fixed aspect of identity. As Shona continues to grow and evolve as a character, she may continue to explore and express different aspects of her sexuality. This fluidity and flexibility are important components of a healthy and fulfilling sexual identity.

It is important to approach Shona's sexuality with an open and non-judgmental attitude. By recognizing and accepting the complexity and diversity of human sexuality, we can help to create a more inclusive and supportive world for individuals of all gender identities and sexual orientations. Labbia has done an excellent job, painted a character who doesn't fear who she is, what she love and for what cause she decide to fight. Shona inspires all of us to express our feelings and our emotions without fear and being proud of it.

Furthermore, it is critical to recognize that bisexuality is a legitimate and valid sexual orientation. Unfortunately, individuals who identify as bisexual may face stigmatization and discrimination, as they may be perceived as "not fully committed" or "greedy" in their desires. It is important for mental health professionals to provide support and validation for individuals who identify as bisexual and to work towards dismantling these harmful and outdated stereotypes.

In working with individuals who identify as bisexual, it is important to acknowledge the potential intersectionality of their identities. Shona, for example, is not only bisexual but also a woman and a mercenary in a male-dominated profession. These multiple identities may intersect and influence each other, and it is important to consider all aspects of an individual's identity when working with them.

Finally, it is critical for mental health professionals to approach discussions of sexuality and sexual orientation with sensitivity and tact. It is important to create a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore and express their desires and to provide accurate and affirming information about different forms of sexual expression. By approaching sexuality with openness and compassion, mental health professionals can help individuals like Shona to navigate and celebrate their unique sexual identity.
