I was looking at the new face for Chell recently and it struck me that she's Korean.

The shape of her face, specifically the pouty lips that Korean Women are known for, just seems to scream "Korean".
Only thing that's in the air now is how she has those lighter-colored eyes. Some kind of interesting mix on genetics going on...maybe she was an experiment in and of herself?
EDIT: On top of all that, in some of her old concept art, she looks like Grace Park, especially in the two middle ones here.

EDIT: I should have added "In before 'Best Korea' jokes" in this post, in retrospect.
Korean Descent?
Seems likely since this is in the US.
Where is Kim Jong Il when you need him?
i bet she's alyx's mom
What's so funny chell is totally a milf
Does it really matter where she comes from? It's probably just coinsidence.
For all I care she could be finnish master-race, she's Chell.
I really want those boots...

In 200 years when we have developed "futuristic" looking clothes they'd look cool.
But now you'd just look like a weirdo. Unless you're Lady Gaga or something.

Well who doesn't want those?
Let me guess, OP is Korean...
Valve HQ: "You know what guys, let's make her Korean... I think that is the way to go."
No, she isn't Korean.
They made her look like she could be of any race in the world.

I never thought of that :aaa:

That's stupid, Alyx's mom died during the Black Mesa Incident
[QUOTE=DrBreen;29272238]i bet she's alyx's mom[/QUOTE]
Alyx's mom is dead and we already have a picture of her, she's not the same person.
[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;29272610]That's stupid, Alyx's mom died during the Black Mesa Incident[/QUOTE]
Or did she escape using portals?
She was a spy for Aperture all along! :tinfoil:
By the way, I'm going to throw this out there because I know everyone is thinking it: I am loving the "shine" of that woman's cleavage... instant turn on.
Again, she could be any race and they did that intentionally. She could be Chinese/Italian/American/Armenian
[QUOTE=DrBreen;29272238]i bet she's alyx's mom[/QUOTE]
That would be quite the twist and make for an excellent tie-in.

What is her name? Nevermind I see it in the file name.
Last time I remembered, Chell was hispanic.

Last time I remembered, Chell was an ape.
i didn't know she was getting reworked.
it's a good change

I think Chell looks good, but it's one of the things that don't make much sense. Like... why would she look better after bein in statis for 200 years? Doesn't make sense.
