    I thought maybe she was part Maori or something. Because I originally saw her on H20, and she was much swarthier than all the other girls on the show. In fact, she was one of the darkest people that were ever on the show, from what I can remember. I don’t think they showed in black people or Aboriginals but I never finished watching the show, only saw a season or two, but yeah. I wouldn’t be surprised if she did have some non-white ancestry. I know a couple of other actors from Australia and the Netherlands who look like swarthy Caucasian people but turn out to have Maori ancestry like Manu Bennett (from Spartacus and Xena) and Keisha Castle-Hughes (The Nativity Story; Game of Thrones), + others.
