This would be a fictional warrior queen from somewhere in the Congo Basin of Central Africa. Part of the inspiration for the character came from the historically documented Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba, who lived in what is now Angola and is known for fighting the Portuguese. The wicker shield she's carrying is influenced by those used by warriors from Congolese societies such as the Mangbetu and Zande. On the other hand, her color scheme is drawn from the flags of two countries in the region, the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (D.R.C.).
