* AmbiguouslyBrown: She's an olive-skinned woman, although her ethnicity is not stated, and her last name is of German origin (in many cases used by Ashkenazi Jews). The actress is Australian of Italian and Lebanese ancestry. This is made even more ambiguous in ''Gen V.'' Marie laments that Vought will probably not believe a Black girl (herself) and a bigender Asian (Jordan)... but they'll probably believe Victoria. It's ambiguous if this is because Victoria is meant to be fully white despite her actress' Middle Eastern background or if this is just in reference to Victoria's social capital, as a high-profile politician.
