"Thirteen" from House

House is a drama/comedy that shows a group of doctors in a diagnostic team who are trying to discover what unusual disease is killing their patient. Thirteen is a new character to the cast. Her real name is Remy Hadley but she has been given the nickname, Thirteen, because that was her assigned number when she was applying for the job. Thirteen is a beautiful bisexual that seems to make the men and women swoon. All of the male doctors dream of sleeping with here, while she can easily have her choice of any woman. She is a very secretive character who later reveals that her mother died from Huntington's Disease and that she is, indeed, a bisexual. Thirteen soon discovers that she has the gene for this terrible disease and acts out in horrific ways. She becomes addicted recreational drugs and has several one night stands with men and women. She has a serious relationship with another male doctor, later on, in the show.

I think that Thirteen fits the stereotype of the "oversexualized lesbian/bisexual woman". She has one night stands with both men and women but, sadly, this is understandable. She has found out that she might have the same fatal disease that killed her mother. Although Thirteen fits this stereotype, I think that she is still a good influence on other gay women. She is not perceived as an oversexualized woman because she is bisexual. She is having a hard time living with the reality of her illness. Other gay and bisexual women can learn to perserve through their struggles in life, as Thirteen is trying to do. Thirteen is a smart, successful doctor which shows that sexuality can't hold you back from achieving your goals in life. Her addiction to drugs and, maybe even, sex might be something to other people (gay or otherwise) can relate to. They might think "hey, if Thirteen can get through this, maybe I can, too".
