It just occurred to me that the Duchess is such a crazy cat lady because, well, she's Egyptian. Has anyone else realized this, or am I late to the party?
Also, since she's Egyptian, her currently very pale skin tone needs an explanation. I just think it's faded because she's so freakin' old. Any other possibilities?

Usually googling the parts found in the wiki should give you a link to something that has the full text.

Ah, beg pardon, I'd completely forgotten about that one! But, well, that's not her face. That's costume makeup to the point of being effectively a very complicated mask.

In the passages where you find out more about the Duchess and see her without her makeup, she's not only dark-skinned, but appears to be much younger: "barely thirty." So whatever the artwork looks like, her appearance underneath is quite different in terms of complexion, age, and quite possibly other details.

Ah, got it. I'm done with the University storyline and wasn't as into the lore when I was going through it, so I didn't read the text walls. I'll check the wiki to see what's there.

I don't have those echoed, but basically, she appears white because she wears lots of makeup.
