Doctor Aphra, the Star Wars equivalent of Indiana Jones (just one that fought on the side of the Nazis), has become a very popular character since first introduced alongside O-O-O and BT-1 in the Darth Vader comic by Kieron Gillen and Salvador Larroca.

The character has jumped off the pages of the comics and into the games, which is quite a rarity. And in the process, she's picked up quite a fan base — some of whom are just realising that she might just be gay.
