The series includes visible diversity within its main human cast, notably featuring a prominent Latina character. Its narrative explores themes of prejudice and acceptance, focusing on the challenges faced by the 'other' in society, without explicitly critiquing traditional identities or making DEI themes overtly central to its core message.
