The curved eyebrows and tightly pulled-back hair were vaguely inspired by a real person, but I chose to give the subject an Asian cast to her eyes because I hate all the anti-Asian sentiment being whipped up over COVID. Looking at it now, it reminds me a bit of the Michelle Yeoh character in Crazy Rich Asians, though more in attitude than actual features.
