Sorry for rambling. I just find it interesting to see so much arguing over what constitutes as "too white", which alienates both races other than white as well as mixed races, all the while being valid.

If her face is based on a real mixed race or black woman, then I'm being too cynical. But as I strongly doubt she is, she is a designed character, not a real person. And video games tend to design their "non-white" protagonists as kind of being white anyway. Case in point, the Prince from Prince of Persia or Altair from the first Assassin's Creed.

So my guess is that they wanted to play down anything non-white about her for safety.

AYRT

Well, quite a few characters use design models based off real characters, but I don't know enough about the game to say that applies here. I would have to say her features do register as black to me though, but looking closer it is rather ambiguous.

Totally agree with you about toning down the blackness, however. In this industry, it's practically a given.
