		<description>Well, that is good.  Believe me, I learned that lesson the hard way.  Let&#039;s just say that I spent a lot of time rewriting my characters&#039; ancestries.  

Also, believe it or not, my little brother looks stark white.  I am the darker skinned of the two of us.  And also the only one in the family who considers himself a minority.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not going to commit to anything at this point.  The only reason I even bother mentioning some of her makeup in the comments here is because I&#039;m pretty sure it won&#039;t come up in-comic before TG is over.  

But Aya is likely to show up in some non-TG projects in the future, so keep an eye out for more detail then!</description>

		<description>I could tell.  I am of a similar mix: Cherokee, Irish, Chickasaw, English, Dutch, and maybe even some Russian, and possibly Armenian.  A lot of my ancestry was lost.  She is likely in the same boat as I am.  In fact, so are most Americans from all ethnic groups.  More Southern whites have black ancestry than Northern whites.  And, by the same token, a large number of people in the Southwest have lost Hispanic ancestry.  In almost all of the U.S., there are a large number of people of some sort of Native American ancestry.  However, there are very few who have the 1/16 minimum to be considered Native American as a minority, and even fewer who, like myself, are at least 1/8.  Those of at least 1/4 ancestry are even rarer, 1/2 even more so, and those of full ancestry are even more so than that.  And most of those people are descended from multiple tribes.

  Given that, I would say that Aya has some smidgen of Italian, is at least 1/8 Native American, at least 1/16 Dominican(who are of a good portion African descent),  the Irish is also at least 1/8, and she seems to have a bit Dutch and Russian in there as well, and likely some Polish.  How accurate was I?</description>

		<description>I figured there was some Hispanic in there. Her pedigree sounds like mine, except replace Dominican with Cuban.</description>

		<description>I take it you&#039;ve been around some really easy-going territory...I tell a chick I was muff-spearing for sport, I would have to run.  They always want to lock me down right after that stuff starts...</description>
