@Live Not everyone is dark, but by numbers alone Vacuo seems to have the highest amount. Hell, considering how Vale, the only other kingdom that is even implied to have anyone with a shred of melanin, is specifically referred to as a "safe haven from the Grimm," im willing to bet that every dark-skinned individual from Vale is originally from Vacuo, having left for the protection, or just for the sights. Would certainly fit her appraisal of the city.

Her outfit is fashionable, but in terms of inspiration it just screams arid or jungle practicality. Regions where people of a darker demeaner hail from are either arid, tropical, or just constantly beaten down by a merciless sun, certainly fits Vacuo's description. (Both Pyrrha and Mercury follow the same theme of metal plates, hanging cloth from the left of the waist, and a rather thick layering around the ankles. Some students from foreign academies are carbon copies of the others, I think its fair to assume they'd follow similar dress styles.)
