Wade’s younger sibling, Lake, is credited as the first nonbinary character in a Pixar film, and is voiced by nonbinary voice actor Kai Ava Hauser. In the film, Lake’s nonbinary identity is not stated explicitly, and she is addressed with she/her pronouns. However, Lake is canonically nonbinary in some of Elemental’s related media. In the book Unlikely Friends (Rusu, 2023), their role is expanded further throughout the story, and their pronouns are exclusively they/them. 

Additionally, due to the characters being elementals there is an ambiguity in the character design. I have included androgyny and queer to reflect this aspect. If anyone who worked on the film can confirm whether there were supposed to be additional queer background characters (in particular the couples seen dancing in the park), please feel free to reach out, and I will adjust the categorization accordingly.

Goodbye Forever Party is a film within a larger series, “The Blindfold.”

Peppers is currently working on the concluding film related to this series, The Cone Layer, slated for a 2026 or 2027 release. You can support the upcoming feature by joining her Patreon or purchasing a bundle of the previously completed works on Gumroad, including the recently completed Take Off the Blindfold, Adjust Your Eyes, Look in the Mirror, See The Face Of Your Mother (2025) (see Barber Westchester and The Final Exit of the Disciples of Ascensia).
