I was thinking that I know that there’s a ton of PoC (people of color) characters in Fallen London, but I could only think of about five at the top of my head. Would anyone be interested in helping me make a list? I am looking for humans who aren’t white, specifically.

I’m sure I’ve forgotten to mention plenty. edited by Curious Foreigner on 9/2/2016
And her sister, the Itinerant Physician!
The Manager of the Royal Beth.
The Enthusiastic Urchin, of the Knotted Sock, if memory serves.
The Brisk Campaigner, though she hasn’t appeared in FL proper yet - just Sunless Sea. edited by Sir Frederick Tanah-Chook on 9/2/2016

Honestly, the Bristling Financier (along with a whole lot of other people that share his avatar) just seems like a white dude in a dark environment to me.
Picture for reference:
Look to the picture’s left side and you’ll see how white his skin is when under proper lighting.
The others above have listed the ones I’ve met so far but I just wanted to say, as a WOC, that I appreciate the game for having many significant characters of color.
Boring but regrettably necessary answer: no, because “person of colour” is a term with an important real-world meaning, which shouldn’t be applied willy-nilly to fanciful talking tigers. When we’re talking about a fictional work representing the diversity of its audience, well, there are no real-world talking tigers to represent. Would that there were, but there are not.
Also, while I’m sure it’s quite accidental, referring to a person as “coloured”, unqualified, unfortunately evokes antiquated language that is now regarded as a slur.
I apologize, that was definitelly not my intention. I was simply trying to make a joke, but it obviously wasn’t as clever as it sounded in my head. I will delete my reply if that is asked of me.
