I'm kind of nervous about writing one of the supporting characters of my novel. She is the goddess of fertility and finds it ironic to be that and be asexual. As a straight girl I am nervous of how I am portraying her. There is one scene where she explains asexuality to the main character, then nothing else is really said about her sexuality. She teasingly flirts with a guy that she is close friends with, but neither takes it seriously.
Are there any tips to make sure I am not treating my character nor her sexuality offensively?
