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.
To be fair, Baba just means "grandma" basically, right? I assumed what they were going for was that she wasn't literally Baba Yaga, but like, New York's Baba. As if every country could have its own Baba archetype who rides around on (inanimate object) with feet. The idea that a Baba could come from anywhere.
Idk, if the game is assumed to take place sometime around the late 20s to early 40s the timeline absolutely lines up for her to be a second, or even possibly a third generation Russian/Ukrainian immigrant. If that's the case then the only accent she would have would be a New York one.
