cappucosmic: Missandei to go with my Daenerys. In A Song of Ice and Fire, Missandei is a child by Dany’s standards, who is a 13yo girl. That means she’s definitely pre-pubescent, probably around 8 or so. She is described as having dusky skin and a round, flat face and eyes like molten gold. Now, I feel like her description alone can put her in the grouping of a lot of different ethnic groups. ‘Flat face’ is usually designated toward Asian people. However, a lot of Summer Islanders seem to have a lot more blatant of black features, and I took the ‘flat face’ thing as something you see in Africans that don’t have any European ancestry on them; they have flatter noses and less defined chins and brows, so they have flatter faces. I think this is my favorite ever piece. -- source link
