The more likely inspiration for Violet might be coming from a Chinese myth about a demon who painted themselves to take on a human form of a beautiful woman. Would definitely track with her broken vote poster featuring a similar green skinned demon.

Oh yes considering her ethnicity this probably is way more likely. I hope they give her paintings that come to life too, still :)

For some reason I assumed she would be Korean

Her hat and blouse fitting is very french/european, so style wise she's kinda a mess if we're talking character design lol. Makes sense that korean could work, theres like 8 countries she could be from just going off her design

This is cope, but there’s something here about the beauty of New York. The capital of the world where culture splashes together like waves —or Valve doesn’t particularly care for cultural consistency

They are mixing things tastefully thus far. Shiv is a mixture of elvis, with Puerto Rican 50's fashion, or holliday with 1800's western fashion mixed with 30's/40's leather jacket styles, so im praying that violet and baba will be a mix thats also tasteful
