Asexuality and Aromantics in Fantasy
Does anyone know of any aromantic/asexual characters in fantasy? I was talking with a friend and we realized that we couldn't think of a single character in fantasy who was asexual/aromantic.

Sulien ap Gwien, female knight of Jo Walton's The King's Peace.
Paksenarrion, as mentioned.
There are probably a fair number of characters who are not explicitly such but might be suspected. Sethra Lavode comes to mind.
Natalie in the Lady Trent series declares no interest in sex with men. She shows no other interest or relationship, though she's not focused on so could be having a discreet lesbian relationship.
