Canis Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 My friends constantly confuse Walani with being Asian, but I'm pretty sure she's Hawaiian. 38 minutes ago, Zeklo said: I recall people theorizing that Willow is of Japanese descent due to some of her quotes and a lighter brand or someth'n.

I’ve always gone under the assumption that she might be Wilson’s niece. Not entirely sure why, but that’s what made sense to me. Probably the hair and clothes, even if most of the characters have a similar color scheme. I haven’t heard of the Japanese descent theory before. That’s interesting.

MondayNight Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Ambiguity has it's beauty and only hints, not clear statements, fair well it this context - because it plays on each and everyone's personal preferences and imagination: characters can be whatever you want them to be, and only a minor background is suggested (via character's mechanics and aesthetics). In this train of thoughts, indeed Charlie and Willow are implied to be of Asian culture and lineage by their respective quotes, promo images and in case of Willow, her lighter (its specific model namely: 1920s-to-1930s "Willow" brand Japanese lighters). As for Walani, like previous posters underlined, she seems either Hawaiian or Polynesian while Wheeler I presume, given her skin tone and explorer background, is of Spanish descent.
