I was thinking Indian, but I'm not great with accents

Don't know if race or nationality even applies in this universe. I mean, Macaron is a black dude with a British accent, but we don't even know if the UK even exists in this world. Korsica's got a Scottish accent, who knows if Scotland even exists.

The thing I'm hearing is Korsica's accent dips between Scottish and Irish, and Macaron's dips between a few accents as well. Whether it's a delbierate choice to have their voices sounds like they could be from several places or not I don't know, but it does make it hard to pinpoint origins regardless.

She's actually from the hit 2023 game Hi-Fi Rush

Correct answer. I've seen some South Asian movies and I've never heard of anyone named "Peppermint" in any of them.

Peppermint's skin and hair colour is only relevant in that it foreshadows a key reveal in the plot.

Sam is not Hispanic either. He's Brazilian. Hispanic refers to someone who speaks the Spanish language.

I don't think it makes sense to apply Earthly races to characters in fictional universes

Nah, it's ok. The more you know.

Also, it's very easy to make those mistakes with Sam.
To begin with, the name Samuel Rodrigues sounds more Mexican or Spanish (Rodriguez).
In the original english voice of Metal Gear Rising Revengace, Sam has more of an spanish accent than portuguese.

According to the devs, Korsica's accent is actually supposed to be Welsh... hard for me to tell, personally - unless it's a very strong Irish or very posh British, I can't really differentiate between the accents in that region xD
