During a recent interview, Cara confirmed that her character is pansexual.

“I’m a pansexual faerie,” Cara shared with Variety. “All faeries generally are. They don’t see gender. It’s all about who they are and their hearts. A lot of the things that weren’t written in the script, we made them so. Obviously, I didn’t say, ‘I want to be a pansexual faerie,’ but it made sense that all faeries kind of just love who they love.”

The day before, Cara Delevingne and Orlando Bloom debuted a few new clips of their show during their panel discussion at Comic-Con.
