It sounds more like a general complaint about the lack of well-portrayed middle-eastern characters in the mentioned genres than boohoo I can't steal licensed images to me. At least it sounded that way because they complain about the plethora of white blond blue eyed characters and about stereotypes. Maybe OP didn't notice the problem until they had a reason to look, idk. I wouldn't have thought of it myself, it's not something I would normally go looking for.

I think it's telling that no characters are there and the OP *has* to get commissioned art for her character, regardless. OP, I'd offer suggestions but I can't think of any characters either. That's pretty sad, now that I think about it.

I never realized how few there were. This is really bothering me now. I've read a whole lot of unlicensed manga (set in the middle east even) and I can't even think of one.

I can only think of the maid in GOSICK. She was the culprit of one of the cases, but a very sympathetic character who was just getting back at the woman who led to the deaths of many innocent children. >_>;

Aside from her, though, I can't think of any...

Oh! Wait, there's the reaaally old Arabian Nights: Sinbad's Adventures anime, which is super cute and is still shown frequently on TV dubbed in Arabic. I loved that show as a kid! ♥ It's a bit stereotypical, but they were going for a fantastic, old timey setting.

In recent years, it's getting harder to find well-portrayed Middle Eastern characters, definitely. Boy, do I hate the "Arabs = terrorists" stereotype that sneaks up even in shows that are otherwise great.
