Missing: Red Haired Anime Girl

[Daemacil]

There's something that always bothered me about the original game.
When exploring Master Leep's Temple in the original game, you come across a portrait of Master Leep and a assortment of anime girls, behind which is a secret area.

Portrait in question (NSFW, of course(but why are you on this site at work?))

Through the corse of the game you come across:
Blue haired girl - Crying, appears based on Sasami from Tenchi Muyo
Purple haired girl - Bathing
Green haired girl - Pooping

Never seen the red haired girl shown in the picture to the right of Master Leep though.
Anyone that's worked with the game assets happen to have seen this in the resources or know what she's based off of?

I know there's others you come across (Sailor Moon clone, car show girl, the secretary, and the one with the drill) but since this one appears in art from the early portion of the core game this always seemed like a strange omission.

There are unused sprites[www.spriters-resource.com] portraying her commiting harakiri. For some reason harakiri didn't make it into the final game, and the portrait wasn't fixed to reflect this.
Fun fact: A green haired girl is actually ripoff of a CG from some old untranslated VN.

It's because the red haired anime was showing nipples, and obscenity laws forbade that.

and yet, the strippers in that bar in "Duke Nukem 3D" during the Red Light District level showed nipples

Tassels on their nipples.

Given the rest of the game's content and the fact that there are (very poor resolution) dirty magizines lying about many of the stages, I sincerely doubt this has anything to do with the nipples. Covering those is a 5 minute job given how few sprites are involved in this... again tassels.

Think about this in terms of story. How would they have portrayed this in game?
You walk up to her, say something stupid, and she kills herself?
cant really work comedy into that... its one thing when the faceless clone goons do it at random, you're supposed to be killing them and they ac tively want you dead.
The others you can interact with will shoot at you for doing the same... this is a rather extreme opposing direction to that...
Perhaps she was a story element and was supposed to have betrayed Master Leeps location to Zilla?
Not necessary to the story, since it thrives on action movie cliche and all you really need to know is Zilla is a really bad guy and kills people that shouldnt be killed. That's Lo Wang's reason for ditching Zillia's employ in the manual.
Doesnt really leave many possibities for why the'd include a character just to killer herself as a one off gag.

She didn't want to live anymore after Master Leep was killed. Case Closed.
or... build a map, put her in it and write your own story ;)
The sprite animation for her just plays over and over again so you'd have to have her disappear or blow up shortly after. They also had totally nude posters of a couple girls in the beta that didn't make it into the final version(1.2)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure some bare nipples isn't even close to what it would take to violate what little obscentiy laws the US has.

lol, exactly. so showing people being burned alive, chopped into pieces, eaten, shot, electrocuted and blown up is alright, but yet, showing some anime girl's nipples and they go into a sh#t-storm.

Just a small window into the thought processes of the minds that control our societies. Gore good, reproduction bad.

what's the name of this VN? I know one of the spirtes is a rip off of Deunan Knute from Shirow Masamune's Appleseed manga. I would love it if we were able to identify more, provided the rest of these girls where taken from somewhere.
