A writer on Rainbow Six Siege has expressed their pride at the game’s first transgender operator, who arrives with the Crystal Guard season update.<\/p>\n

Narrative writer, Simon Ducharme, said they are “incredibly proud” of developing the character and had “tears of joy” knowing they were “encouraged and supported” to write queer characters.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Gamespot<\/a>, Ducharme added: “The decision to create a transgender character was made early on, as part of our initiative to have an inclusive roster of Operators. The consultants, all of whom are trans people, wanted to make sure that Osa was presented as authentically and organically as possible. She was written by a queer person and she is voiced by a trans woman – and while her identity is certainly influenced by her gender, who she is in the Siege universe is centered on her talents, her influence on Nighthaven, and her close friendship to Kali.” <\/p>\n
