Heaven Will Be Mine, as a narrative, is about being other. In a world where metaphor and physics are the same thing, what society pressures you to be is a physical, changing force.
Saturn's backstory deals with grooming and involves her relationship with a much older man, with implied tokenization. Her faction specifically takes dehumanization as a challenge: Earth doesn't think of us as 100% human? Let's see how much less than 100% we can get. In general, an not-explicitly-stated but very much there force on her backstory / narrative is period-typical / society-typical homophobia, transphobia, etc (she's from the Space 1980s) (how much these are like the real 1980s is up for debate, but you get the idea).
Saturn also experiences body dysmorphia. (This isn't because she's transgender, this is mostly because she can't stand being human in the way humanity defines it, but it's still very much there.)
Please comment here if you'd like me to either (1) avoid specific topics in both dialogue + narration or (2) avoid tagging your character(s) altogether.
