In 2003, BioWare developers working on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic hid a fact about one of the game's characters from their own marketing team. This character, the Jedi Knight Juhani, happened to be female and she also happened to be gay. Developers weren't sure how players would receive that trait.
"I think for a long time it was just assumed that nobody would accept it," BioWare lead writer David Gaider said in 2013. Even in the final game, Juhani's sexuality is vague. "We kind of hid it," Gaider continued. "She never says, 'She was my lover.' She just says, 'We are very close.'"
