Wizards of the Coast has revealed card-based game "Magic: The Gathering's" first-ever transgender character.

This new character, named Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, is part of "Magic: The Gathering's" latest expansion "Fate Reforged," according to The Guardian. While her card makes no mention of her gender, a story published on Wizards of the Coast's website reveals that she was born anatomically male, intertwining her background into a tale of combat.

Alesha's clan tradition allows its members to pick their own name after winning the right in battle, with members usually picking names that reflect their actions in battle. "She had been so different...only sixteen, a boy in everyone's eyes but her own, about to choose and declare her name before the khan and all the Mardu."

When it comes time for Alesha to pick her name after slaying her first dragon, she goes in a different way and takes the opportunity to come out to her brothers and sisters-in-arms. "And the whole gathered horde shouted 'Alesha!' in reply. The warriors of the Mardu shouted her name. In that moment, if anyone had told her that in three years' time she would be khan, she just might have dared to believe it."

Alesha does ultimately go on to become kahn, leading a mixed race horde (including goblins, orcs and humans) into battle.
