A lot of people like to shy away from that because according to canon Mikasa is the only 'Oriental' (I hate that word...but that's what they use in the show) left, and they don't want to break away from that. But my story is a full-blown canon divergence, using this OC to navigate some 'what ifs?' and other questions I had. Like I said, there were things that just didn't seem to add up when they explained her backstory -not to me- and I studied Ethnic/Racial Studies in college so naturally it piqued my interest. I felt...obligated you could say, to explore these alternative ideas that came to mind. Of course I'm not just using the character like that, she has her own backstory and personality (as you can see here XD) but the way she goes about things in the story, and her interactions/relations with other characters, are where I play around with those questions and try to come up with some answers. I love making OCs and I love breaking canon because I like to come up with other ways things could play out, and those characters and all they entail (backstory, personality, etc) is how I open those doors.

I'm glad you made an Oriental OC. I never really believed Mikasa is the last one. Besides, she's a half-Oriental still. I bet there are other orientals hiding somewhere, some of them might even be living outside the walls. And I think, like the Ackermans, the orientals have some special abilities too, something to do with their blood line. I bet Isayama is gonna use it as a plot twist later on.
You did a great job with a detailed back story for her as well as her relationship with the other characters.
LOL I get you, I mean, we would want our OCs to be unique but NOT in a mary-sue and cliche way.

Muahah, that was cute ^^ I would run if I were Saskia too. xD
Levi covered in vanilla? Damn Hanji, you know how to raise my pulse.
(I mean me, galaTea, not my OCs. I have a weak spot for apples, sweets and vanilla ice cream, hoho)
Heichou, you can come back from your corner of shame, here, here, take a Windex or two...
Ok, I have a thing for Erwin, it's official. Look at that sex pursuing face!!!

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
I am not the one to kiss and tell! No way.
But, it leaks somewhere, that's for sure... I mean, all the wrong info, completely wrong... because we were just slicing Titans and maintaining gears. You know, the usual
