What I find bizarre about Ariella Kent, is that she was originally portrayed as either blonde or light brown-haired, with blue eyes and white skin, as you would expect the daughter of a white, blue-eyed, blond woman, and a white man with blue-eyes and black hair.
Then, in Supergirl 1,000,000, she's suddenly ambiguously brown-skinned, with black eyes, a wide mouth, and a brown Afro. In SOME panels, she was given vaguely blue eyes but, even then, still retains the altered facial features and giant puffball Afro.
Like, there's no mistaking it: It doesn't look like wavy hair, it doesn't look like a lazy representation of curly hair, it is a full on 'fro.
So, while appearing in a number of comics I can count without taking off my socks, she goes from a straight-haired, blond, blue-eyed, white girl, to ambiguously tan,often dark-eyed, with different facial features, and a 'fro. No attempt at continuity at all, just something that comes off as a bizarre race swap.
I get tired of the constant "What did X mean by this?" on this board, but... Was it just a shitty artist? An actual race swap? What the heck did they mean by this?
