I think she looks like she could be 3/4 white 1/4 black.
Not that she’s lying about the Native or Japanese. But her facial features to me look European with strong African influences in the nose and lips.

Like Jessica Szohr. She’s 3/4 white 1/4.
you’re unbelievably stupid smiley, there’s no such thing as ‘grey-blue’ eyes, grey eyes are a light misty blue and come under the blue category, so an eye is either grey or a more obvious blue, but the reason why her eyes are grey/green, is because they’re a misty icy blue but have yellow tones in them when observed up close which can make them look like a light misty green, so therefore they’re grey/green not grey-green or grey-blue
O.O
“grey eyes are a light misty blue ”
No, grey is between black and white.
“Grey or gray is an intermediate color between black and white. Grey is a neutral or achromatic color, meaning literally that it is a color without color.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey
According to google: “of a color intermediate between black and white, as of ashes or an overcast sky.”
and once again smiley you’ve single-handedly made your self look like a complete and utter dick by choosing to debate something to which you know nothing about, eyes are never the true colour of grey in between black and white, but what colloquial definitions of eye colour have established is that pale, misty or icy blue eyes do look slightly grey and in certain lighting conditions can resemble more of a steel grey colour so therefore light/pale blue eyes are branded the title of grey, however the most pale of eye colours are light green iris’s quite like Adriana’s and Bradley cooper’s which look like an extremely pale blue from distance and a misty light green up close which is why grey/green is a perfect definition, technically speaking grey eyes do come under the blue category, but of course you can’t process that in your thick uneducated mind since you clearly think people with grey eyes have pure steel colouration in their iris
Source?
Here’s an article on the science between grey vs. blue eyes:
http://genetics.thetech.org/ask/ask232
The website the article where the article above is found is sponsored by Stanford University.
I’m quite familiar with that article which is being very optimistic and talking about the subject in a ‘ray of sunshine’ manner, realistically the major factor determining a persons eye colour is the amount of pigment in the iris, grey eyes occur when mixing light films of brown/gold pigment over a true/deep blue eye causing it to go misty/pale coloured and as more pigment grows the eye then gradually turns green then to amber the hazel and then to the deeper browns. Haven’t you ever wondered why babies are born with deep blue/violet coloured eyes which will gradually turn a lighter blue with age and can go on to be green or light brown (amber or hazel). The truth is, there is no such thing as ‘true grey eyes’ it’s always just a misty blue which is a blue eye that contains very mild amount of pigments and as that article states there hasn’t been much research done on the differences between blue and grey eyes because they’re virtually the same, as I’ve said time and time again there are only 3 true eye colours, blue, green and brown. grey & violet come under blue and amber & hazel come under brown, I’ve explained myself an immense amount of times that I’m not some dickhead troll who knows nothing and chooses to make a mockery of this website, I don’t see what else I have to prove, I know about eye colours, my contributions shouldn’t be ridiculed
There is no such a thing as “gold pigment” the eyes only contain dark brown/black pigment. The way the light reflects through the eye causes different colors.
“I’m not some dickhead troll who knows nothing and chooses to make a mockery of this website”
Actually you are. If not then provide links with scientific information rather than just repeating your opinions. But I know you won’t because you’re purposefully trolling to make people mad.
haha that’s rich; “purposely trolling to make people mad”, I think I have better things to do with my time than try to bother pathetic people like you smiley
Attractive and cute.

She’s not. She’s multi-racial. No one knows the exact percentages of each of her ethnicities though.
