This trope is under discussion in the Trope Repair Shop. An Ambiguously Brown character is a character with a darker skin tone that clearly stands out from most of the cast, but it's not entirely clear what race they are actually meant to be. Their heritage is never mentioned, and their facial features don't correspond to any particular race either, so it's unknown. They're just brown. Generally this is primarily a trope in drawn media— most live-action characters are assumed to be the same race as the actor by default, although it could apply if there is some reason to wonder about this character specifically. For actors who are ethnically ambiguous, see Plays Great Ethnics. It also does not apply if the character has a defined race or ethnicity, even if that race does not exist in the real world. This can be considered an easy way to add visual diversity to a work when the author doesn't want to deal with real world racial issues, although it could also be considered to lack real representation. Oftentimes, this is the result of to trying avoid Monochrome Casting while having Only Six Faces— everyone looks the same except for coloring, anyway, it's just that this one has darker skin. Compounding this issue, while some features such as blue eyes or extremely tight curls are more racially distinctive, light brown skin + dark brown hair is found everywhere around the world, which can make it difficult to narrow down. Can also be the result of unusual skin and hair combinations. Cultural differences can come into play here as well— Compare Mukokuseki: in principle anime characters who are supposed to be "stateless". Other times, western viewers may not realise that fully Japanese people can have a fairly wide range of skin tones— often the characters are meant to be fully Japanese and recognized as such in the Japanese fanbase, with the ambiguous part only coming from the point of view of non-Japanese viewers who don't realize that fully Japanese people can have dark skin. In older European works, where the population is predominantly white the word "dark" is often used to mean someone white, with dark hair and dark eyes. If most of the cast is various shades of brown in a future world, it may be In the Future, Humans Will Be One Race. For an even more extreme version, see Amazing Technicolor Population. If the character’s skin doesn’t even look like that of a human’s, then it’s most likely to be Ambiguously Human. See also But Not Too Foreign, of which this is a sub-trope and Mixed Ancestry Is Attractive, for when a multiracial character (who may or may not be ethnically ambiguous) is seen as attractive and intriguing. |

Doctor Gonzo in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is either Samoan (what Thompson introduces him as) or Mexican (what everyone else mistakes him for). Justified in that he was based on a real Mexican-American attorney, who Thompson was using as a source for a story, and the whole point of going to Vegas was to keep quiet that he was talking to Thompson. | |

Deconstructed in Hero by Perry Moore. Golden Boy is a speedster and sidekick to Silver Bullet; he grew up in an orphanage and he himself doesn't know what race he is. This has kept him from being adopted since "The blacks thought I was Hispanic, the Hispanics thought I was Arab, and the whites didn't want any questions." The patronizing nature of his codename isn't lost on him either, but Silver Bullet is the closest thing he has to a father, so he just goes with it. | |

Lampshaded in Scream Queens (2015) at Chanel #2's funeral where Chanel #5 says it's a shame that they never found out what ethnicity she is — as she was the only non-white blonde in the Girl Posse. Her actress Ariana Grande is of Italian descent — but has often been mistaken for a lighter skinned black woman or Latina. The fact that she's fond of spray tanning doesn't help. | |

In Yellow Brick Ramble, a comic-adaptation of the second Oz novel The Marvelous Land of Oz, most of the native-born Ozians are noticeably darker-skinned than how Oz adaptations usually portray them. However, they clearly aren't meant to be any particular real world race, given that some of them have unnatural skin colors (such as green or lavender) and most of them have fantasy-elf-style Pointy Ears. | |

On the Rejected Princesses site, writer and illustrator Jason Porath will often cite this as something he's done if a historical woman's ethnicity is a bit of a question mark by modern standards, for instance both Tomyris and Tirgatao were both "Scythians" but the historical records conflict a fair bit on how exactly they looked since it was actually a pretty broad category, so he went for a middle ground and figured that both would have been out in the sun a lot regardless. | |

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: Angie Yonaga, the Ultimate Artist, has dark skin, a non-Japanese name, and her official art shows her carving a Tiki statue, all implying that she is Polynesian. The English translation adds more evidence by naming her god Atua, a Polynesian term. Her ethnicity is never actually stated outright, but Shuichi does point out her foreign-sounding name and asks whether she's from Japan. | |

The second chapter of Enter Ken Finlayson sequel "Snickery When Damp" manages to use this trope without the individual in question actually appearing in person. Mrs. Finlayson is only identified as Afro-Eurasian and since "Afro-Eurasia" is the name of the collected landmass that is Africa, Europe and Asia that does not narrow down anything, which Heidi of course lampshades. Apparently that is the extent of the rest of the Finlayson family's knowledge and would they ever find out Mrs. Finlayson would kill the entire family, extending it to in-laws and the children of Ken's older half-sister Ulrica. | |

Similar to The Hunger Games example above, Julian Comstock, which is set in a post-apocalyptic 22nd century America, never explicitly gives the racial background of any character, but instead simply describes physical characteristics. Julian himself, who is blond, blue-eyed and pale is probably what we would nowadays consider white, as are his mother and Evil Uncle. Another character, Marcus Sedgewick, is described as having very dark skin and tightly curled black hair, and would probably be considered black in the 21st Century. However, everyone else is more ambiguous, the narrator Adam is paler than Marcus and darker than Julian and has curled hair, suggesting a biracial background, however his sister was a natural blonde; meanwhile Calyxa, his wife, has hair like Marcus, but also has "pink" skin, and probably has some Quebecois ancestry being a native French speaker from Montreal. | |

X-Men: Generation X and X-Factor member Monet St. Croix is the daughter of a dark-skinned French father and mother of Algerian citizenship and indeterminate ethnicity. She is always depicted as brown-skinned, with the precise hue varying from issue to issue. Whenever it gets too light, there's an outcry that Marvel is trying to make her "less black" for nefarious purposes, and when it gets too dark, there are cries that she was never black in the first place, but it was never stated that she is or isn't. She and her siblings (who are more consistently dark-skinned, the few times we see Emplate's human form) are most likely mixed, though colorists should settle on a tone and stick to it. Fridge Logic answer: Her Healing Factor causes her to both tan rapidly, and lose that tan when it's no longer needed. Bishop was long assumed to be African-American, even though his long straight hair didn't quite add up. This assumption carried well into the mid-2000's when the time-travelling mutant cameoed as a little boy in present-day New York in X-Men Legends. It wasn't until later that he was established as an Australian Aborigine (one can assume he learned to disguise his Aussie accent to avoid unwanted attention). Storm herself began as this. The intent was to show her as a 'woman of the world' and she was drawn with a mixture of African, white and Asian features. But as the character explicitly hailed from Africa, she's counted as a black superhero, and is usually drawn as such these days. She has however been portrayed by half white, half black actresses in the live action films. |

The Cosby Show had a whole episode revolving around this trope, wherein one of the kids got a new teacher who asked her pupils to guess her ethnicity. It was a mix of several: African-American, one specific European nation, and one specific Native American tribe. While she obviously had much fun with her own ambiguity, Cliff also told a story about a boy he knew, who got upset with everyone wondering about his ethnicity, and one day decided just to answer every inquiring with: "I am an Arachne." | |

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Skye is played by the half-white, half-Chinese Chloe Bennett, but went through the first season without clarifying her ethnicity (one episode states that she was found in the Hunan province as a baby, but it's far from confirmation - the same episode starts casting doubts on whether she's even human). This led to some controversy during the first season where some critics of the show's admittedly white-dominated cast refused to see Bennett's real-world ethnicity as relevant until there was explicit in-universe confirmation that Skye shared it, leading some other people to accuse them of whitewashing. The second season eventually confirms that Skye shares Bennett's ethnicity, showing that her parents were a white dad and Chinese mom; though with the twist that Skye has some Inhuman ancestry that Bennett obviously doesn't share. Reina is another example. While her appearance and accent suggest that she's a light-skinned African-American, she spent much of her early life in Asia and we know next to nothing about her. Actress Ruth Negga is Irish and Ethiopian, but Reina's background is still a mystery except that she's at least partially Inhuman like Skye. |

In Parks and Recreation, the Season 4 finale has it commented of Jones' character Ann Perkins, "I’ve said this to you before and I know it makes you uncomfortable, but you’re thoughtful and you’re brilliant and your ambiguous ethnic blend perfectly represents the dream of the American melting pot." There's also an earlier episode where Tom (Aziz Ansari) tries to set up a dirty joke by asking if Ann has any Indian in her (for extra irony, the same Tom is once thought by his boss Leslie Knope to be Libyan). | |

Batista (David "Dave" Michael Bautista, Jr.) is half Filipino and half Greek-American, but was often mistaken for being Latino or Hispanic because of his Spanish ring name and last name, which led to him being unexpectedly popular in Mexico and put in an angle with Eddie Guerrero to capitalize on it (the Philippines and Mexico were both colonized by Spain, leading to many cultural similarities including surnames). He was born and raised in Washington D.C., but has since made his permanent home in Tampa, Florida, rather than Southern California, even after his Hollywood career took off. Just to confuse the issue even further, he also has an East Asian dragon tattoo on his back and speaks with a standard Washington D.C. accent. When Dave and Kumail Nanjiani co-starred in the buddy cop movie Stuber, they improvised a scene in which Kumail's character fails to guess Dave's character's background. | |

Vampirella: Vampirella's friend Pantha was reimagined as an Ancient Egyptian woman in the 1990s and since then has often been drawn with a dark skin of ambiguous origin.

Minty Zaki, a minor racer in Wreck-It Ralph, has skin that varies from a medium to darker brown, though not all merchandise and artwork are consistent with this (sometimes depicting her as light-skinned). It has been debated whether she's meant to be black, or if she's a darker-skinned Asian. In the Japanese release, her skin is considerably lightened and she's altered to be a kimono-wearing Japanese girl. | |

Quest for Fire: Ika and the Ivaka tribe cover their entire bodies in paint and have noticeably non-white features. Ika is played by Rae Dawn Chong, who is mixed raced. The director wanted the Ivaka to not conform to the appearance of any single race, in that they're a tribe of Cro-Magnons who predate modern ethnicities. | |

The Kabra family in The 39 Clues is described as having dark skin. London's large population of Indian-Brits may make the skin color of Ian and Natalie, the children, less ambiguous, but that doesn't explain why their mother (whose maiden name was Vesper-Hollingsworth, which doesn't hint at anything) also has "coffee-colored" skin. | |

Prince Naveen from The Princess and the Frog was deliberately designed to be this to avoid upsetting any minorities. Since he was going to marry the first black Disney princess it would either tell people Disney didn't believe in mixed race marriages or were cheating their fans out of a black prince. Henceforth, he is a thoroughly ambiguous mish-mash from his name, the native words he uses, his skin, his hair, his eyes, etc. When we see his parents at the end of the movie, they both have white hair from age, but that doesn't offer much in the way of clues, either. | |

A few characters in Double Homework: Rachel has a conspicuously darker skin shade than her classmates do, and Dennis terms her the “ethnic girl,� but it is unclear what ethnicity she is. It’s all the more confusing that she has an Anglo-Saxon last name. Nothing is known about Henry’s racial or ethnic background, though he looks vaguely black. |

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal introduces new one-time characters for almost every strip, and these are a diverse bunch, not just straight white men by default. (At least starting in 2010 or so.) However, perhaps simply due to the art style, the non-white characters mostly look ambiguously brown. | |

In Little Men by Louisa May Alcott, the character Dan is described with black eyes, black hair, and, at several points where his skin is mentioned, brown skin. But it's unclear as to whether this is racial, tanned, or just dirty. Everyone else in the book seems to be white (several are specifically blond Germans) except for a Black cooknote and, given some hints in the narrative, possibly another black character in the background, but Dan just seems like the odd boy out. | |

In the last Harry Potter book, Harry has a reaction like this the first time he sees a picture of Dumbledore’s mother, Kendra. He notes that her facial features and straight black hair remind him of pictures he'd seen of Native Americans in Muggle school. However, Harry is an Unreliable Narrator and not the most worldly of people, including not even realizing there were wizards outside of the UK until the fourth book, which adds some ambiguity. Perhaps she was really Native American, though given her kids have red and blonde hair and blue eyes, she'd likely have been mixed race. Another way to look at it is that she was of another non-white (though again, probably mixed race) ethnicity and Harry just mistook her for Native American out of his own ignorance. Finally, perhaps Harry was just wrong and she was white (since he never actually describes her skin tone) with high cheekbones and dark hair. For what it's worth, the actor who was cast to play her in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is half Brazilian, though she didn’t make it into the final cut of the film. | |

Arrested Development: Despite his actor being white, it's subtly implied that Tobias Funké is a very light-skinned Black man. His middle name is "Onyongo", and when Lindsay points out that the name "Tobias" makes people picture a big black guy, his only response is "I'm certainly not a big guy". This extends to his daughter, Maeby. | |

The defendant in 12 Angry Men is nonwhite and lives in a New York slum, which is the basis of Juror #10's "guilty" verdict. In the 1957 film, the actor is Italian, and the time is right for anti-Italian prejudice, but #10's rant doesn't specify beyond "those people", so he can be interpreted as whatever minority the audience relates to. | |

Charby the Vampirate: The vampire Nora has dark skin but her purple eyes, horns, wings and hair do not help narrow down her possible human ancestry. Wes has dark hair and a noticeably olive completion when standing next to other hunters in places with good lighting. He has heterochromia with one green and one blue eye and it's possible he just spends more time in the sun than some of his more pale coworkers. While most of the elves introduced in the story thus far are pale and short there have been at least two of generally human height with brown skin. |

In her review of Pocahontas (see above) she notes that the title character doesn't look particularly Native American, but more like "an a-ethnic mush of unparalleled hotness." Incidentally the face was based on the voice actress, who really is Native American... but her ancestry is from the opposite side of the continent. This is why Pocahontas itself doesn't have an entry. | |

In Iron Man 3, the Mandarin is of indeterminate but apparently Middle Eastern birth (played by the Anglo-Indian Ben Kingsley). Further confused by his American South accent, Chinese name, and tactics similar to South American militants. This is in contrast to the Mandarin of the comics, who (as his name implies) is partly of Chinese descent. Perhaps surprisingly, the movie manages to make sense out of all this by the time it's over; basically, he's merely an impersonator deliberately invoking a mishmash of various stereotypes about anti-American terrorists. The real Mandarin seen in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Xu Wenwu, is Chinese. | |

Being A ΔΙΚ has some characters with unclear ethnicities, which stand out more due to its somewhat Monochrome Casting: Josy has a noticeably darker skin tone than most of the cast (and by some distance compared to the rest of the Main Girls), but her actual ethnicity is unclear. She is at least half-white - her father Pete shows up on screen in Episode 5 - but her mother has yet to be seen, so it is unclear whether she is mixed-race or simply tanned. Tybalt also has noticeably darker skin than most of the cast, but his ethnicity is never clarified; although we get to meet both of his parents, he is explicitly adopted. Sally accuses him of overusing fake tan, but it is never confirmed whether there is any truth to this or if it is just Sally being Sally. |

The character of Jimmy in That Thing You Do! is played by dark-skinned actor Jonathan Schaech, whose ancestry is mostly German and one-quarter Italian. Jimmy's full name is the very British-sounding "James Mattingly III" (his official credit on the rock album he and his band record), but Schaech made no attempt to lighten his skin tone for the role. It really makes you wonder about Mattingly's true ancestry, especially when A.M. White (Tom Hanks) orders Jimmy to record the title song in Spanish, causing Jimmy to become very peevish and sarcastic and unceremoniously quit the band, implying he's possibly a Latino who uses a stage name. | |

A Little Princess actually has Sara Crewe in this (most adaptations cast white actresses). She's described as being dark and having a "brown" hand. Victorian standards of brown could just be referring to a tan from growing up in India, but it is possible to read Sara as being mixed race. Her mother was said to be French, so she could have a Mediterranean complexion. | |

Generation X and X-Factor member Monet St. Croix is the daughter of a dark-skinned French father and mother of Algerian citizenship and indeterminate ethnicity. She is always depicted as brown-skinned, with the precise hue varying from issue to issue. Whenever it gets too light, there's an outcry that Marvel is trying to make her "less black" for nefarious purposes, and when it gets too dark, there are cries that she was never black in the first place, but it was never stated that she is or isn't. She and her siblings (who are more consistently dark-skinned, the few times we see Emplate's human form) are most likely mixed, though colorists should settle on a tone and stick to it. Fridge Logic answer: Her Healing Factor causes her to both tan rapidly, and lose that tan when it's no longer needed. | |

Most humans in Harbourmaster are varying shades of brown, on account of lineages mixing together throughout the spacefaring era. In fact, Veras is considered unusual (and ridiculous) for frowning on miscegenation (what with Veras being obsessed with preserving the semblance of pre-spacefaring humans). Aquaans, meanwhile, are always some shade of brown, although that's simply cultural preference on their part. | |

In Gen¹³, there's a running gag of sorts that nobody can guess what Sarah Rainmaker's ethnicity is when they first meet her. An entire issue during Adam Warren's run features Sarah in the background waiting for drinks at a bar, all while an idiot next to her tries to guess her background, getting further and further from it as he goes. (She's half American Indian.) | |

Maree-Celee from The Princess 99 has dark red hair, red eyes, and brown skin but then it's later revealed that her father Docteur Haypenny has pale skin, red eyes, and a white streak in his hair to add to the confusion. Admittedly, Skye has dark skin and multicolored hair but this is made moot with the fact that she's an alien. The entire novel tends to fall into this trope when you consider that the setting is based of 1920s New Orleans but isn't set on Earth. | |

A lot of the first round of reports of The Men in Black describe them as vaguely olive-skinned, and with features that make them hard to pin down, ethnically. Of course, many people claim they're disguised aliens or something, so likely not any real variety among humans (that's assuming they exist). | |

And then we get to the part where she's had family in uniform going back to the Revolutionary War, implying Jazz has white ancestors as well. | |

AJCO has Vinnie, who looks vaguely Hispanic but with enough elements of Middle-Eastern Asian to throw off any assumptions. It has yet to be pointed out, possibly because unlike the other factions, there are actually several other people of colour in Katton. Egg is also a shade of brown, lighter than Vinnie but much darker than the white characters such as Kaja or Lorelei. Word of God is that she's mixed race, though Word of God hasn't said exactly what those races are. |

Several characters in Obey Me! – One Master to Rule Them All! fit this trope: Mammon, the second-eldest and the Avatar of Greed, is noticeably darker-skinned than the rest of his brothers. Diavolo, ruler and future king of the Devildom, is also tanner than the pale-skinned majority of the cast. This becomes especially prominent in his demon form, which turns his skin even darker. Simeon, an angel and one of the exchange students from the Celestial Realm, has the darkest skin among the cast. Raphael, another angel Celestial Realm exchange student, has a tanner skin color similar to Diavolo (above) Mephistopheles, a demon currently attending RAD and former head of the Newspaper Club, is darker-skinned. |

The Stormlight Archive: Brandon has mentioned in interviews that most Rosharan ethnicities would appear to us to fall under this trope. For example, Alethi (the ethnicity of most of the POV characters) would look something like a cross between Asian and Middle Eastern, while the Vedens look much the same but with red hair. This also comes up in-universe with the Heralds, who were born something like six millennia before the story starts and thus pre-date modern Rosharan ethnicities. |

In The First Law Series: The magus Bayaz's servant Yoru Sulfur is described by another character as having a somewhat ethnically ambiguous appearance, being darker skinned than is the norm for someone in the Union (a European Fantasy Counterpart Culture) but lighter than people from the neighboring Gurkhal (The Empire, home to people of Arabic and African appearance). This ties into Sulfur's blandly pleasant manner and blandly pleasant features that make him The Nondescript, able to fit in everywhere. It's implied that the ambiguity relates to the fact that like his master, Sulfur is Really 700 Years Old, and thus came from a culture which no longer exists. Temple, one of the main protagonists of Red Country is darker skinned than most of the cast and other characters wonder (sometimes offensively) at his ethnicity. At one point, Temple asserts that he's the Son of a Whore and that his mother was Dagoskan (which evokes both India under the British Raj and Constantinople) and his father was a Styrian (a stand in for Italy during The City State Era) mercenary. |

Throughout plenty of books in Goosebumps, little mention of specific minority ethnicities are attributed to characters. Occasionally a character is described as having black hair and dark brown eyes, which are common traits of non-Caucasians, yet there is often no note of dark skin color involved. A great example would be in Werewolf Skin, when the main character Alex meets two boys whom are (again) noted to have black hair and dark brown eyes. One of them has the name Arjun Khosla, to which Alex asks him about it, and the boy replies is Indian. But no allusion to nor mention of skin hue is brought up in this case. | |

Wonder Woman (2017): Sameer gets this reaction in-universe, which he uses to effect. Early twentieth-century racism lets him impersonate several nationalities, since most people just assume "brown=foreign". There are several clues about his true origins: he wears a red chechia, which was worn in the Army of Africa, which was formed in French colonies in Northern Africa (it also explains his French language and accent) and participated in the war in Western Europe. The actor, Said Taghmaoui, was born in France to Moroccan immigrants. | |

In one episode, he mentions that his childhood boogeyman was the Sack Man, which implies Latino or Eastern/Southern European heritage.

Seinfeld: Parodied in the Season 9 episode "The Wizard". Elaine has a new boyfriend who Jerry thinks is black, even though the actor playing him is pretty lightly-skinned. Elaine spends the episode trying to figure out his race and gets pretty conflicting answers, but concludes he is black when he says that they are an interracial couple. In the end of the episode when Elaine tells him she thinks he's black, the boyfriend reveals he thought Elaine was Hispanic. Realizing they're both a couple of white people and not an interracial couple, they decide to take a trip to The Gap. | |

Most of the cast of The Reader (2016) falls under this, their skin described with words like "tan", "copper", "honey", "dark", or "black". This is justified, though, since Kelanna is a fictional world with no real-world equivalents to nations where such characters would come from, and no one group is signified as coming from a specific island or kingdom in the book. | |

In Knives Out protagonist Marta is Latina but her family’s country of origin is never stated. The ignorant Thromby family say anything from Uruguay to Ecuador to Brazil. Her actress Ana de Armas is Cuban of pure Spanish descent but she uses more of a Central American accent when speaking Spanish. Given that the story revolves around her mother being an undocumented immigrant, she’s probably not Cuban like De Armas due to the US’s former policy of giving any Cuban refugee asylum if they stepped foot on American soil. | |

It's not easy to notice at first, but many of the people shown in the artwork of Numenera have traits from multiple ethnicities (this is certainly true of the ones in the cover art, at the bare minimum). Like BattleTech above and Mass Effect down in the Video Game examples; this is due to humanity having co-mingled enough that they are now a single ethnicity. Of course; why humanity still exists in a recognisable form after a billion years and the falls of eight eons-long civilisations (the last few of which weren't human at all) is one of the setting's greatest mysteries which kind-of makes the whole 'ethnicity' thing a moot point. And this is before you factor in mutations, genetic modification, encounters with crazy nanites, etc. | |

Wuthering Heights is set in the late 1700s in England. Mr Earnshaw says he found Heathcliff on the streets of Liverpool alone, and—unable to find his parents—took him home. Heathcliff's ethnicity is as murky as his background. He's referred to as "dark" and a "gipsy." He might be literally Romani, but it could equally be that people just don't know what else to call him. At one point Nelly fancifully speculates that he could be the son of the Emperor of China and an Indian queen. From his age we know he was born in the 1760s, and at the time Liverpool was a big international port city and the slave-trading capital of Britain. While Heathcliff's not, in Nelly's words, "a regular black", he might be black-biracial. The idea that he's some sort of biracial is also aided by the popular theory that he's actually Mr Earnshaw's bastard son, because the Moses in the Bulrushes story strikes many people as questionable. | |

Queen Marisol from the Frozen licensed book "Anna & Elsa: A Warm Welcome" comes from a warm country, has black hair, and has darker skin than Elsa. Her name being Spanish implies she is from a Latin American inspired country. It is also possible she's Middle Eastern due to the names of others from her country. | |

Aytan, Itzel, and Mina of Aecast are different shades of brown. Despite the comic clearly taking somewhere in a fantastical Middle East, no ethnicities are specified for them. At best, Mina may be Indian. | |

Mission: Impossible II: Nyah is clearly nonwhite, but her skin is light enough to pass for any number of ethnicities, and her racial background is never confirmed. Not helping is her name, Nyah, which is of undeterminable origin. Her actress Thandiwe Newton is half-British and half-Zimbabwean. | |

Tenderness: Eric's mother is described as having been tanned, with dark, curly hair and dark eyes. While Eric is coded as white, his victims are all modeled after the mother who is implied to have molested him, and they are mainly all Hispanic and Latina. Whether that means his mother was too is left ambiguous. | |

Sophie Moore, Kate Kane's girlfriend when the two attended West Point, is consistently depicted as not white, but her appearance has varied over the years and her ethnicity has never been mentioned. In her very first appearance, she's the most ambiguous, and could be seen as black, Latina, or even of Middle Eastern heritage. In the New 52, she's depicted as black, while in DC Rebirth, she could potentially be biracial (one black and one white parent) or of East Asian descent. | |

The series Danganronpa is known for having at least one or more dark skinned characters involved in the cast. Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: Aoi Asahina, a bubbly swimmer girl with a dark skin complexion that isn't from a tan as expected from most athletic characters. Yasuhiro Hagakure, a laid back fortune teller with dark skin and wild dreadlocks. (It's implied that he may be biracial since his mother doesn't share the same physical qualities as him). And Sakura Ogami, the world's strongest fighter who has the darkest skin color among her peers. Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair: The sequel has Akane Owari, a sporty girl like Aoi (only with a more aggressive attitude) and dark skin that matches her predecessor. And there's Teruteru Hanamura, a Casanova Wannabe chef with tan skin who is stated to be from the more rural part of Japan. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony: Angie Yonaga, the Ultimate Artist, has dark skin, a non-Japanese name, and her official art shows her carving a Tiki statue, all implying that she is Polynesian. The English translation adds more evidence by naming her god Atua, a Polynesian term. Her ethnicity is never actually stated outright, but Shuichi does point out her foreign-sounding name and asks whether she's from Japan. |

Animorphs: Ax's human morph is described this way. He's a Mix-and-Match Man derived from the four human Animorphs: Jake and Rachel (Jewish and white), Cassie (black) and Marco (Hispanic). Marco himself never has his race directly stated, but all the clues point to at least his mother, Eva, being Hispanic. His father, Peter, never really gets described, though; for what it's worth, the TV series cast a white actor. |

Sex/Life: Billie is played by Sarah Shahi, who's of Iranian and Spanish descent. Though the actor who plays Billie's dad is portrayed by Hrant Alianaknote Sudanese-born Armenian-American who appears vaguely Middle Eastern and also has an accent, while her character's mother's White, what ethnicity she was meant to be isn't clear. Their last name, Mann, along with its alternate spelling Maan is used in Asian cultures however. In India, its a Punjabi name usually associated with Sikhs. The Ma'an is an uncommon topographical surname used by Arabs usually of Syrian or Iraqi origin. So it's possible they're of South Asian or Middle Eastern ancestry, but this hasn't been said. | |

In the colored comics for Roommates, Javert is noticeably more tan than the other roommates despite only being identified as French. His darker skin tone is almost certainly a nod to how Javert in the novel was the son of a gypsy woman and a convict, but the webcomic has Javert's mother be Morgan Le Fey, who seems to be white. A spin-off comic has his father be Clopin which would explain things, but it's uncertain exactly how canonical that is. | |

In The Immortals, Daine's skin color is never noted, but she has very voluminous curly hair and mentions that she stood out in her home village - the people there, her mother included, are mainly pale blue-eyed blondes. Her father is a god of the hunt, described as having olive brown skin with green streaks. It's unclear how much she takes after him physically; some cover art gives her a darker complexion, some doesn't. | |

Power Rangers (2017): Trini was already given a Race Lift as her actor is Latina whereas her television counterpart's actor was Asian yet the character's full name is still "Trini Kwan", though it doubles as Mythology Gag as Trini was Latina in the original pilot for the show. This is not mentioned in the dialogue but via Word of God which states that her father is named "Mr. Kwan". Making matters more confusing, Mr. Kwan is played by the Canadian actor of Egyptian descent Patrick Sabongui. Kimberly from the same film is implied to be of partial South Asian descent in comparison to her original counterpart being Caucasian, given that her actress Naomi Scott is of Anglo-Indian (English father, Ugandan-born Indian mother) descent and that her mother is played by English actress of Indian descent Anjali Jay. |

In Little Women, the last chapter makes mention of a "merry little quadroon", who might be Dan. Then again, considering said quadroon acts nothing like the taciturn Dan, Alcott may have had a different boy in mind (possibly Nat, due to the child's "sweetest voice of all"), or she might have radically changed his characterization between books. | |

A Song of Ice and Fire: Most people in Slaver's Bay count. The original Ghiscari were mostly wiped out by the Valyrians, and the modern Ghiscari are a mix of many different races. From the one of the prequels, Nettles. All that's known about her is that she was dark-skinned, brown-eyed, and black-haired. It's believed that she had some Valyrian blood, but no one really knows where she came from. |

The Nostalgia Chick: In her review of Pocahontas (see above) she notes that the title character doesn't look particularly Native American, but more like "an a-ethnic mush of unparalleled hotness." Incidentally the face was based on the voice actress, who really is Native American... but her ancestry is from the opposite side of the continent. This is why Pocahontas itself doesn't have an entry. She also uses that word to describe Tommy Wiseau. He's clearly white, but that accent makes figuring out his exact ethnicity... difficult. |

Questionable Content falls into this partly because the art style makes everyone look white-ish. Some characters have non-Western names, like Amir, but they still look just sort of generically brown. Word of God states that one character, Dale, is African-American. Someone asked the creator what race Tai was, to which he responded, "Tan." He later replied to another person asking what her nationality was with "American." It's also said later in the story that her red hair is actually dyed, implying that it's naturally dark brown or black, which still doesn't answer the question. |

In the Rainbow Magic series, several fairies have brown skin of differing tones, without any other indicators of a specific race. Izzy the Indigo Fairy has a brown skin tone that is noticeably darker than the rest of her sisters, who are all unambiguously white. In the Weather Fairies series, Goldie's deeper skintone may be because of exposure to the sun, however Hayley also has the same warm skintone, in comparison to their lighter sisters, despite controlling rain. |

Tenzing Tharkay from the Temeraire series is half-Nepali on his mother's side, with dark hair and eyes, a skin tone compared to polished teakwood, and to the shock of many, a perfect, upper-class English accent. In the series' Regency-era setting, most characters have a hard time determining what his race is beyond "not white", with many dismissive types settling on just calling him "Oriental" or "a Chinaman". Upon meeting him for the first time in Macau, the extremely white British protagonist initially thinks him some offshoot of Chinese, but decides against it, owing to Tharkay's un-Chinese clothing and lack of East Asian epicanthic folds. | |

Game of Thrones: It turns out Grey Worm's from the Summer Isles, though he's substantially lighter than the only other character we've met from the Summer Isles, Xaro Xhoan Daxos. His ancestry has yet to be revealed in the books; Martin has stated that he has no plans as of yet to go further into Grey Worm's race or personal history, but he might do so if the notion strikes him. Upon the decision to cast the mixed race (Chilean, Romanian, English, and a little bit of Argentinian) Oona Chaplin as Robb Stark's love interest (a fair-skinned Westerosi noblewoman called Jeyne Westerling in the books), they made the character Talisa from Volantis. Although in the books, the people of Volantis are said to resemble the blonde Targaryens more than anything else, and Talisa's features match those of people in Myr more. The actress recalls once being told by a drunk casting director that she was "miscellaneously ethnic". All of the Sand Snakes, and their mother Ellaria, hail from Dorne — which is a Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Spanish, Moorish, and Mediterranean cultures. The Sand Snakes are all daughters of Prince Oberyn — played by the Chilean Pedro Pascal — but none of them have any Latin heritage. Jessica Henwick is mixed Chinese and English, Keisha Castle-Hughes is mixed MÄ�ori and white, Rosabell Laurenti-Sellers is Italian and Indira Varma is Indian and Swiss. Of course this is possibly intentional, as all of them are 'Sands' — illegitimate children born in Dorne — so they could be mixed race in universe (we only learn they all have different mothers). |

Bailey from Avialae is drawn with brown skin in color illustrations, but his ethnicity hasn't been brought up once in 200+ comic pages. His last name, Gilbert, does nothing to narrow down the possible ethnicities for him and the artstyle makes his facial features look very similar to pale-skinned Gannet's in the black-and-white pages. Word of God says that he's half-Puerto Rican. | |

PHD: The Nameless Guy is kind of a weird example. He claims to be non-white, but looks just like the white characters, if anything slightly paler. Since he is Jorge Cham's Author Avatar he is most likely Asian-American, but it's never been made clear. Another example is Dee's friend/housemate. He has dark skin, but unlike Tajel or Prof. Khumalo, he has no name or any distinguishable ethnic features to determine his background. |

Archer in Fate/stay night has skin dark enough to clearly mark him as distinct from most other characters, but lacks any clear markers of his race. Subverted when it's revealed he's actually the future self of the red-headed, light-skinned Japanese protagonist Shirou Emiya; overuse of his thaumaturgy changed his skin color, among other things. | |

In Friday, the eponymous protagonist of the Robert A. Heinlein novel, is some shade of brown. Justified in that she's an Artificial Human, genetically engineered with genes from around the world. Her mentor even remarks that she couldn't be racist, as she'd be shooting herself in the foot. | |

Warhammer 40,000: The Salamanders are a Space Marine chapter who are known for having extremely dark skin due to a flaw in a particular organ in their gene-seed. This organ normally adjusts the melanin level in an Astartes' skin to account for ambient radiation, but in the Salamanders' case, this organ is stuck in max output mode, and thus their skin is hyper-saturated with melanin. Artistic renditions of Salamanders have ranged from giving them skin tones that are brown to black (as in Real Life) or jet-black skin that would never occur naturally. Official artwork of The Emperor himself has his skin color often◊ times◊ brown-ish◊. He's been confirmed to have been born in Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) in the Neolithic period, but pre-history being what it is, we can't confirm exactly which ethnic group to have called that region home he was born from. |

El Goonish Shive: Grace has darker skin than any of the main cast, but her human ethnicity (and her "father's") has yet to be officially determined, though the texture of Dr. Sciuridae's hair implies African-American ancestry. Seeing as Grace is an shapeshifting Artificial Human whose base form includes antennae her skin tone might just as well stem from the squirrel part of her ancestry. Tedd describes her (snarkily) as "very, very mixed". Sensei Greg, on the other hand, is almost universally agreed by the fandom to be African-American and a throwback to the 70s. He's both an homage and a parody of a common Blacksploitation cinema archetype. Shive introduced the darker-skinned character of Rhea, and then we found out that she's the sister of blonde and almost bleach-white Diane. When asked about it by Ellen, she immediately said "We're adopted." When Shive was asked on Twitter what ethnicity Rhea was, he said "The only ethnicity of ANY characters I'm 100% sure on is Nanase and her family ^^; And that's only because I wanted a family that spoke a language other than English around the house." So, apparently, Shrug of God is the official answer on any ethnicity other than Nanase's (which is Japanese) and by extension her cousin Tedd's (presumably half-Japanese, half-white since their mothers are sisters). |

Hanna Is Not a Boy's Name: In a variation on this trope, {...} is ambiguously Asianish. He has almond-shaped eyes, black hair, high cheekbones, a nose that looks a little Asian if you want it to, and a sentimental attachment to paper cranes for reasons not even he knows. He's also, at present, green. If he is Asian, he'd be an Inscrutable Oriental too... There's also Casimiro, who definitely fits. He is noticeably brown (or, well, dark gray), which is weird for a vampire since all the other specimens thus far have been portrayed as pale white. Word of God has Cas claiming that he was just sporting a "nice tan" before he died. |

April O'Neil's race in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Mirage) is a point of debate amongst fans: was she supposed to be white, Asian, or multiracial? She was frequently depicted early on with a dark skin tone and her brown hair was curly, though explicitly permed instead of natural. Various artworks depict her with different skin tones and hair colors. Later she appeared un-ambiguously white. The 1987 cartoon had her as a white, redheaded woman (which has been her default ever since); however, it's unknown if she underwent a Race Lift or not. Notably, Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles breaks tradition by making April unambiguously African-American. | |

The second Hawkgirl, Kendra Saunders, was this in JSA. She was coloured as darker skinned than the Caucasian members of the team like Stargirl and Jay Garrick, but lighter skinned than the black Michael Holt and Jakeem Thunder. Her ethnicity is is never stated in the series, but the Hawkman series later establishes that she is half-Caucasian and half-Hispanic. | |

Todd in the Shadows, when not sitting in the dark, keeps half of his face covered at all times. From what we can see, his skin is fairly dark, but his exact ethnicity (black? Asian? Hispanic?) is something of a Running Gag, and Todd himself has decided not to comment either way, when he's not playing into it for the sake of a joke. However, he's rumored to be at least half-Malian on his mother's side, which may even confuse things even more given Mali's demographics. As time went on, Todd's ethnicity became less ambiguous. We now know that he's "not black" (he said it himself in his review of "This Is America") and half-Vietnamese (Lindsay Ellis clarified this in "Mask Off"; the relevant time frame is between 21:44 and 22:09). |

Galavant points out (in song) how Princess Isabella is "ethnically hard to pin down". This may have something to do with how both her parents are clearly white while her cousin Harry has darker skin. She's also the princess of the Mediterranean-sounding kingdom of Valencia, and her full name is Isabella Maria Lucia Elizabetta, which certainly sounds Italian. Given Sicily's history with anyone bordering the Mediterranean, someone with very dark skin compared to mainland Italy isn't actually all that unusual. Meanwhile, her cousin's kingdom is styled more like a mix of Eastern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Her actor, Karen David, was born in India, with what she describes as "Chinese, Indian and a sliver of Jewish heritage". | |

In The Locked Tomb, everyone lives in a far-future necromantic empire (strongly hinted to be our own solar system), so characters are described without reference to Earth ethnicities. The young cavalier Jeannemary has thick curly hair and dark skin, while Camilla is described as having light brown skin and dark brown hair, and protagonist Gideon is a dark-skinned redhead. The second book implies that Gideon is Maori, as her biological mother has words from the Maori version of the New Zealand national anthem as part of her name, and her biological father is also brown-skinned and speaks with a lot of Kiwi slang. | |

To The Night Sky has Roy Mustang and Edward Elric — both suffering from amnesia — wondering about their ethnicity. Edward points Roy has Xingese features in spite of identifying as Amestrian, and it's later confirmed the Colonel is fully Xingese and obtained Amestrian citizenship after being adopted. On the other hand, Roy feels there's something very strange about Edward's features — because Edward's father Hohenheim is Xerxesian. With Xerxes having being destroyed five centuries ago, obviously Edward's golden hair and eyes would be rather weird and impossible to correctly identify because the ethnic group displaying these doesn't exist anymore. | |

Workaholics: Montez. There's even a joke in one episode where he accuses some of his coworkers of discriminating against him because he's black, and they act as though they are genuinely unaware of what race he belongs to. In real life, Montez's actor, Erik Griffin, has a stand-up routine about how nobody can seem to identify his ethnicity (he really has Belizean ancestry). There's an episode where Adam and Blake have a crush on the same woman, with Adam thinking she's black and Blake thinking she's Asian. They awkwardly try to trick her into revealing her ethnicity until she explains that she's both; she has a black father and a Filipino mother. |

Monkey Prince has as semi-recurring characters the siblings Kaya and Rizalino Mayled. They have dark skin but their heritage is never explained or discussed. Kaya is a brunette while Rizalino is blond, although his hair is probably dyed. "Kaya" is a common name in many cultures, while "Rizalino" is a Filipino name; meanwhile their surname is English and most commonly used in Anglophone countries. This suggests possibly mixed Anglo and Filipino ancestry, but their facial features don't resemble other Asian characters in the series. | |

It's implied that all three teenagers in Dr. Franklin's Island are nonwhite, but only Semi gets more detail — she has Jamaican ancestry. Miranda is "brown", and there are no hints with Arnie. Semi always notes when she sees someone for the first time if they are white, and doesn't do this meeting them. | |

One of the more common clues that someone in The Cosmere books might be a worldhopper is when none of the characters can figure out what ethnicity he (or she) is supposed to be. | |

Tsubaki Collbrande in Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, the head of Hephaistos Familia is this. Her skin tone is pretty close to that of most Amazons but is stated to be half-human / half dwarf. To make it even more confusing all dwarves shown have been fairly light skinned and her human heritage is specifically from the local Fantasy Counterpart Culture of Japan. | |

Lampshaded in pictures for sad children #64: To add to the absurdity, the webcomic is in black and white. Gary is drawn white as milk; we can only tell he's non-white from context. |

Benny from Looking for Group is a fantasy example, and an in-universe one at that. The series was initially a World of Warcraft parody and her design is based on their trolls. But once the series developed its own world, its version of trolls appeared and she looks nothing like them. She has even been dubbed "Lady of Unknown Pedigree. It is eventually revealed that her mother is a blue elf, and her father is most likely the minotaur Krunch. | |

Paperinik New Adventures have a few examples, as a result of most of the characters being Funny Animals. The Flagstarr siblings are the most explicit, having both brown feathers and dreadlocks, while the Raider and his son only have brown feathers, which may or may not reflect skincolor. | |

Powerup Comics does this as part of its Stylistic Suck. Darkwinkle is just another character model recolored with darker skin, and the author himself can't remember what race Darkwinkle's supposed to be. In one story arc, he's black, but in another strip, he takes offense at being called black, and insists that he's Mexican. | |

In Cold Mountain (the book only), Ruby, a homeless woman of Tennessee, is described as being dark-skinned, with a broad nose and hair the texture of a horse's mane. Whether this is due to mixed racial heritage, or simply her rough outdoors life, is up to interpretation. The film cast Renée Zellweger, a white woman, in the role. | |

Sasha Banks has her ethnicity constantly in question. She is of German and African descent but she initially wrestled under her real name of Mercedes KV — which is a Spanish name. Her WWE 'character' 'The Boss' leaned towards a black ghetto girl, but she was originally a dark-skinned blond before eventually dyeing the hair pink. | |

Zan from Atlanta, in universe . Zan, the internet personality trolling Paper Boi. Lampshading this becomes a Running Gag in the episode "The Streisand Effect"; every time he's mentioned, characters ask something along the lines of "Isn't he Dominican?", "Is he Asian?", or (after he casually uses the N-word) "Are you even black?" | |

Key & Peele have a sketch that spoofs this. Obama (played by Peele) is at a meet-and-greet and politely shakes hands with the white guests while enthusiastically greeting the black ones. When he encounters Key, he freezes for a few seconds before a secret service member whispers that he's one-eighth black, resulting in the enthusiastic greeting. Key is actually half black. | |

In Long Exposure, Jonas and Sidney Wagner have olive skin but their race and ethnicity isn't discussed in the webcomic — and can't ever really be confirmed by the characters themselves since they barely remember their birth parents. However, Word of God says they might be Saudi Arabian because she referenced Saudi Arabian actors for Jonas. | |

Never Have I Ever: Inverted with Paxton. He's a light-skinned biracial kid and it doesn't click for his peers that he has Asian heritage, even with his last name, until they hear him speak Japanese or bring up this fact. Trent, one of his best friends, even thought that his visibly Japanese father was his neighbor. | |

Spy series Burn Notice: did this intentionally by casting the bi-racial Coby Bell as Sixth Ranger Jesse. The show's creators saw the ambiguous race as a plus for the character of Jesse, as it would allow Jesse to go undercover as different ethnicities and make it easier for him to infiltrate different groups. | |

Former WWE Diva Karlee Pérez has a very ambiguous appearance, as her complete list of ethnicities include Spanish, Chinese, Cuban, Italian, Hawaiian, and English. She was given an exotic sounding name 'Liviana' in developmental, but then given the Anglo name Maxine. As such her character had elements of a Spicy Latina, but she was still presented as somewhat Anglo (probably because of Latino Is Brown). She performed in Brownface in Lucha Underground to portray the possibly Mexican Catrina. | |

black•ish: In Universe Rainbow has a white father and an African-American mother, and mentions in one episode that she stole a scholarship from a Polynesian student because she can easily pass for Samoan. In another episode, Zoey is chosen for an international-themed ad for the fictitious holiday "Daddy Day," because the ad executives think she looks ambiguous enough to appeal to all racial demographics. When she refuses to do the commercial, the role goes to her friend Maya, who the execs similarly think looks ambiguous enough to fit the ad. In real life, Yara Shahidi (Zoey) is half-black and half-Iranian, while Zendaya (Maya) is half-black and half-white. |

When they first debuted on WWE television, MNM all sported extreme fake tans. John Morrison and Joey Mercury are both white, but Melina is Latina and also sported blonde highlights. All three eventually stopped tanning, and Melina darkened her hair — eventually playing up her Mexican heritage in a few ring outfits, and having her last name Perez acknowledged on screen. | |

Judge Dredd was originally designed to deliberately invoke this. The artist who originally designed him, Carlos Ezquerra, drew him with thick lips to suggest some racial ambiguity, the idea being that Dredd would be The Faceless to such an extent that even his ethnicity would be unknown to the readers. Unfortunately, he didn't tell every artist at 2000 AD his plan, so some of them drew him with European features, and some of them with African features, which, since the comic was drawn with outlines only and you could only see the bottom half of his face, no-one really noticed, and it was eventually decided that Dredd was white. | |
