Let's Create a Character Pt. 2 - Roots? (Patreon)

What's her ethnic background?

Consider the demographic makeup of San Francisco (our main setting) is:

39% White

33% Asian

15% Hispanic/Latino

5% Black

0.3% Pacific Islander

0.2% Native

If she's a secret badass, then the available options might link a bit to her ethnicity. The ninja society is multiethnic, as we've seen, but other groups may not be - Triads are pretty exclusively Chinese, for instance.

Interestingly enough, when looking up the demographics above, I saw that the census considers Brazillians to be White, rather than Latino; Middle Easterners/Arabs/Persians are considered white, although Indians are considered Asians.

Once we have a result we'll narrow it a bit more by nationality.
