On the back, Green describes herself in a wry third-person character profile saying, “The character is often visibly detectable as a female with brown skin and dredlocks [sic]. She was born in the U.S. and speaks English as her native tongue, but she studied French and in brief exchanges can seem to be from some French speaking place... She’s been asked at various times and in various places whether she’s from Martinique, Puerto Rico, Guyana, Jamaica, some island near Venezuela, Paris, London, and New York... She is from the Metropolis, in her case New York.”
