That is a woman, just a British one.

People forget that America and England invaded most of the world at some point or another and forced their cultural artifacts on them. Given Japanese culture, many more children are exposed to non-Japanese works simply because, well, they're expected to read more and there is more existing children programming aimed at cultivating a well rounded worldview (unlike in today's America, where the modern American child is expected to only think about themselves right now).
Like, you'll see characters in anime referencing Dog of Flanders, Anne of Green Gables, the French Revolution because those ARE popular and known in Japan. The same is true of Alice in Wonderland, and no, not because it's "isekai", but because it's one of many imported ideas passed on from America to Japan.
Like, did it never strike any of you as odd that there is a lot of Japanese media invoking Dracula? Dracula, the eastern European ghoul written by an Irishman?
