Luna is quoiromantic and asexual, as well as genderfluid! On their masculine/boy days, they go by Apollo. Hufflepuff!
Yellow means feminine. A yellow ribbon in her hair, a big yellow bracelet, a yellow skirt, a yellow belt around her robes. It means feminine and she/her and Luna.
Orange means agender. An orange earring of her own creation, an orange necklace, an orange hat or shoe buckle. It means neutrality and they/them and Luna.
Green is masculine. A green robe, green buttons down her shirt, a green streak running through long, blonde hair. It means masculine and he/him and Apollo.
Luna doesn’t need specific symbols for the quoiromanticism or asexuality that are also a part of her like she does for how to refer to her, but she enjoys them nonetheless. Brilliant hues of purple, green, and blue complimented by black, white, and gray are found upon many things Luna owns. Shirts, robes, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, flags, broaches, socks, wall art, paintings, wand holsters, mirror and picture frames, wand holder covers, and more. Her absolute favorite pride piece is the mural all of her friends have helped her to paint, though.
It covers the entire ceiling of his bedroom. The background is a sizzling mixture of purple, blue, green, white, and black all swirling together. Apollo and all of his friends painted some representation of their friendship. The ceiling is graced with lions, eagles, different visions of nargles, an ouroboros, radishes, and hearts courtesy of Neville, Ginny, Harry, Hermione, and Ron. It is, of course, completed by Apollo’s addition of painting all of their faces together. Hermione and Ginny actually found the quote, which encircles the edge of the mirror, for him. “A true friend is someone who will always love you — the imperfect, the confused, the wrong you — because that is what people are supposed to do.” by someone they only knew as RJL. But Apollo’s favorite part of the mural is everybody’s signature, big and bold, by their contribution.
Every night that Luna falls asleep under it brings only sweet dreams and comfort.

My favourite thing in the hp universe is modifying house attitudes and stereotypes into more fitting for everyday stuff
Gryffindors don’t have to throw themselves into literal battles to prove bravery, they can be brave by admitting they were wrong
Ravenclaws don’t have to dig common knowledge in order to fit in, they can spend their entire days trying to memorize all Pokemon and their evolutions
Hufflepuffs don’t have to stick to people that are bad for their mental health, they can be loyal to themselves and get rid of toxic friends
Slytherins don’t have to hate ethnic and sexual minorities and muggleborns to be traditional, they can just be really obsessed with always tying the left shoe first

Hello! Your local mod here. A few months ago, I spent a lot of time researching books with asexual main characters and made a list of YA books with explicit rep. While making the list, I found lots of books that didn’t fit my requirements and had lots of requests to know what other books I found. I linked people to sources I used, but none 100% matched and there are at least four books that could be added. So I wanted something that had a wide range, could be updated, and could be shared easily. Hence, even though it doesn’t fully fit this blog, it’s going here!
This is a list of books in all age ranges. Some of the books have explicit representation - using the words or giving the definition without using the word - and some don’t. Some of them could be considered problematic. If you want more details on any of the books, feel free to message me privately. I’ll also be linking to the goodreads page for each book [links tk], so you can check reviews for feedback (it can be tricky, but see what shelves people add it too). I’ll also link my sources at the end of this post in case they update with things I don’t catch or they have details I didn’t include. And, as a final note, sometimes the asexual main characters aren’t main characters until later in a book series. In those cases, I’ll link to the first book and leave a note about which book has the main character.

Resources
As I said, this will be a continuously updated list. I’ll be adding in goodreads links now that the list is up (as long as tumblr allows), adding books that come up, and can move/remove books if anybody thinks they don’t fit, since most of this was research, not my actual reading list. So, feel free to message me with any comments or concerns and otherwise, enjoy!
Update #1: Links added; Running with the Pack, High and Tight, and More Than Enough added; Shock and Awe moved.
Update #2: A Gentleman’s Position, Aces, Into the Blue, The Last Chronomancer, Empty Net, The King’s Peace, The Galloway Road, A Word and a Bullet added.
Update #3: Sea Foam and Silence, A Promise Broken, Feather by Feather and Other Stories, and Texture Like Sun added.
Update #4: I marked books I was fairly sure explicitly used words with **; I added [#ownvoices] to books with out ace/aro authors (and the ownvoices only speaks to them being ace, writing an ace character); Bone Diggers and Accepting Me added.
Update #5: Moved a few books that had been released and added some links.
Update #6: Moved a few books that had been released.
Update #7: Added a few books and moved some recent releases.
