🎮 Character with vitiligo in Fortnite
Graphic artist Dahja Cat is celebrating as her LGBT+ character with vitiligo skin has been officially added to Fortnite, a mega-popular video-game.
Joy, originally named Dalia, was made to show the beauty of vitiligo. Joy was going to be a spy-themed soldier, but eventually Dahja Cat mixed it with vitiligo and rollerskating. The character set also includes a Doja Cat dance emote as a nod to the rapper who inspired the artist’s name. Players can purchase Joy Outfit bundle for 1,500 V-Bucks from the in-game shop Fortnite. This outfit will bring players the new Roller Vibes emote with the song ‘Kiss Me More’ by Doja Cat.
Following this release on Fortnite, plenty of other artists have shared their character art of Joy on Instagram and Twitter.
Previosuly, an insanely popular video game FALLOUT 4 introduced vitiligo charecters of their own.
