The system is not letting me reply to you but I want to answer.
Am_Shaegar: No, she should have a background of whatever makes her important in the story. That doesn't make her Black but makes her important to the story that any character of any race could play, Just as the actress that voices her can be anyone that has the skill and ability as long as her voice doesn't distract from the character.
Now for the spelling lesson. Per dummies.com "White and Black" or white and black is acceptable just be consistent.
I do it because I have yet to see a person painted white, red, yellow or black. I see white and black cars all the time. Even if someone is as pale as snow or black as rubber tires I'm still not looking at color I'm looking at skin, human skin. Thus I do it out of respect as I would typing European or Asian or African. I am referring to their race not a color in a Crayola box.
I am a Black female that loves video games. I've played all the Uncharted games. Personally I don't have a problem with who voices Nadine as long their voice doesn't sound so off from the character's features that it is distracting. I'm not all that concerned about what she looks like. Nadine looks like she was created by the same people that created all the other characters. To me they all are not attractive. But there is one thing I am concerned about as I am with all Black characters in any fictional media, how they write her story. I would rather there are no Black characters in anything than their story being writing with disrespect for how they are treated in the story. Because she will be one of very few ethnic characters or possibly the only and she's a female her story needs special care and consideration. I am hoping that because she wasn't originally written as Black her story was written without Black or female stereotypes and I can feel good about seeing her in the next Uncharted game I buy. If not, I doubt I will ever purchase another one again.
