[ChexEcodece]

First time I saw her on Dark Angel, I knew nothing about her, and I instantly wondered about her ancestry. I wondered if she had some sort of non-white ancestry, because I thought she looked really exotic. I couldn't quite place her, I thought of something like part Polynesian or some other unusual admixture.
At that point in time those things didn't even interest me at all. She just looked really unusual to me.
She certainly didn't look just European to me.

I guess she looks more exotic in motion, and it depends on her styling.

Dark Angel

At some event, at the time of DA:

Even with lighter hair she looked somewhat unusual in the past, like this:

Subjectively, she looks a bit more "white" to me nowadays... and less girly. Maybe.

However, "British" certainly don't enter the equation at all. If some Brit looks like her, then it must be some unusual ambiguous looking Brit, who quite simply doesn't look typically British - or British at all.
