Katie could easily pass as a girl Spaniard or Italian.
She could past as a Spaniard but I dont see any Italian features.
Not all Spanish or Italian is dark, dude. There are as many blond Latinos as Leonardo DiCaprio that would make you dizzy.
Are you literally going to do this on every page?

Holm is a very common surname in Nordic countries.
yes Hölm is a swedish surname
I thought she was east european.
She was always average looking to me. She seems like a pushover and doesn’t seem to have a backbone since she let Tom Cruise screw her over like that.
Leaving her was the first step of her freedom… so what are you talking about?
