AGIA DESCRIPTIONS:

"With her upturned nose and strangely tilted eyes, she looked so much like her brother I felt sure they were twins, but the slender figure and delicate features that seemed incongruent in him were compelling in her."

"Of average height, with a short nose, wide cheekbones, and the elongated brown eyes that often accompany them."

"Her voice was much deeper than I had expected."

"... wide, flat cheeks and softly rounded chin, freckled, sun-browned skin and long, laughing, mocking eyes."

. .

Seems like she is definitely Asian looking, laughing, mocking eyes, elongated, strangely tilted, with wide, flat cheekbones and delicate features.

Also, what's up with the deep voice, and similar physique to her brother? Is this a man in drag or something?
