So hey, I have a much less whiny RP-related issue to ask about.

I have a fun character, Ree (srs_screenwriter), for whom I've been using Kat Dennings for a while. Dennings has just the right attitude, she's fun, but it's all fucked up because she's white and Ree is clearly presented as canonically biracial. Her mother is white and her father is Puerto Rican; Ree describes herself as being visually racially ambiguous.

Practically speaking, it's fucking hard to find a PB of color, which has been my justification for a while now, but I can't let it go anymore. Using a white PB for a character of color is whitewashing, pure and simple, and that's not okay.

So. Can anyone point me at a place where I can find a more appropriate PB for Ree? She's late twenties, wears glasses, not especially curvy (those last two are negotiable). I'll make icons myself if I have to, but I don't know where to start. Help?

PB Updates has a shitload of PBs tagged by gender: ethnicity: hair colour, but they're weak on some selections

I also like to use Hollow Art for things like this because they have a stellar search page, but they are frequently down, including as of this very moment

This is a really old post but in my defense I just saw it. Victoria Justice might work? She's early 20s, but is biracial (dad is white, mom is Puerto Rican).
