* {{Transgender}}: Fenic is the foremost example, as well as the only character explicitly stated to be trans in-universe. [[http://valeriehalla.tumblr.com/post/144665680803/i-love-goodbye-to-halos-a-lot-and-all-your-work According to]] WordOfGod, Elly is also trans; in addition, Jessica (the bear bandit) is non-binary, and Leo identifies as genderqueer to some extent. Also, Tahmonai is referred to with they/them.

The story's main character, Fenic, is a transgender girl with latent magical powers who was pushed by her father through a portal into another world and abandoned there when she was 15. Lost and hurt, she slowly cut ties with her past and remade her life in the city of Lionsbridge, more precisely in Market Square, where [[{{Gayborhood}} queer, rejected people have gathered and formed a comunity.]] However, five years later, when she seems to have finally gotten her life back on track, someone comes looking for her form another world, and she soon realizes she might be connected to a much bigger story than she imagined.

The comic can be found [[http://www.goodbyetohalos.com/ here]]. The author has also writen a side story, ''Animal Girlfriends'', which focuses on secondary character Fran and her two partners and which, unlike the comic, contains explicitely sexual scenes. No connection with [[Franchise/{{Halo}} a certain video game franchise]].

''Goodbye to Halos'' is a webcomic started in November 2015 by Valerie Halla. It's a queer fantasy story set (mostly) in a world of anthropomorphic animals. The story's main character, Fenic, is a transgender girl with latent magical powers. One major focus of the story is exploring human relationships that don't fall into neat categories. (For instance, when two people fall somewhere between "friends" and "romantic partners".)

** According to WordOfGod, ''every'' character in the comic is LGBT: [[http://comicsalliance.com/valerie-halla-goodbye-to-halos-interview/ "it's a story without a single non-queer character"]]

* {{Gayborhood}}: Market Square

* WholesomeCrossdresser: The closest trope for Leo's gender expression, since he is fond of skirts and feminine clothing. WordOfGod states that Leo finds it important to show that guys can be as feminine as they want to be. Though since he wants feminine clothing to be able to be considered a normal thing for guys, and since he's stated to some extent identify as genderqueer, "crossdressing" doesn't really fit.

* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Leo is afraid of knives.

* UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}}: Fenic is the foremost example, as well as the only character explicitly stated to be trans in-universe.

* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Shades, apparently based on demons, are a race capable of doing magic that are native to only one world. They have horns, tails, and CuteLittleFangs.

* FacialMarkings: Fenic has one by her eye. [[spoiler:As it turns out, all Shades have one, apparently unique to them.]]
