Momo is a high school student with tan skin and bleached hair as a result of her swimming(?). This acts as the cornerstone of a lot of conflict in the series. This drama series has allowed me to experience unexplored heights of anger, but it’s fun and addictive!

Michiko is one of the most mesmerising characters I’ve ever seen— she’s a cool, independent and revenge-driven convict. She’s presumably Afro-Latina, as the story is set in South America.
Absolutely earth shattering series that made me cry. Amazing media at the cost of my sanity.

This is a fun series that offers a plethora of diversity and heists!

Carole is a talented black woman who forms a lovely friendship (or more… 😉) with her band partner, Tuesday. The two strive to make it big from nothing!
This series is set in the future- the cityscape they live in being on Mars itself. Despite this, the series is very familiar, relatable and touching.

Karla is an amazing healer(?) and bully! She is an eccentric and dead-pan dark elf with a penchant for being a menace.
This series feels like a fantasy, slice of life, comedy. It explores the adventures of Karla and Alvin in their ambitious quest to hone is (nonexistent) battle skills!

Irene is such a strong, snarky and beautiful main character with a passion for guns and her car! Her and her energetic bestie, May, have such a real and often unhinged dynamic, it’s so much fun to watch 😭.
There are only 3 episodes of this beautifully animated show set in Chicago, America— but it’s got such a charming and nostalgic feel that makes it SO worth watching.

Alma is one of the three main characters, a powerful assassin with a strength that juxtaposes her often childish personality. Not knowing how to live for herself, she fixates on Noel, swearing to fight beside him forever as a big sister (he is far from fond of that siblinghood).

Lilith a beautiful maid who is suspiciously perfect. A mysterious master of charm, wit, cooking and cleaning. Weirdest of all, she works as a maid for free. The young protagonist, Yuuri, lives in his family mansion with the maid and tries to decipher her (probably evil) intentions.
This initially feels like an uncomfortable ‘romance’, but as I watched it I realised it was an adorable, pure and enjoyable slice of life.

Youko is a high school honour student thrown into a strange new land, forced to fend for herself.
Ok so technically she TURNS brown when transported into a beautiful fantasy realm. Honestly a series that makes me quite nostalgic despite never watching it as a kid. It has lovely world building that I’m very fond of!

Absolutely feral with nostalgia over the plot.
Nadia- the main character- is (likely) from africa. She’s a lovely, albeit hot-headed and stubborn young girl with a growing love for a smitten boy, Jean.
The duo chart a heroic adventure around the world!

This absolutely doesn’t count— I think she just has brown fur (when she was human she was white???), but it’s easy for me to delude myself into thinking she counts as a brown skinned girl.

Nadia acts as her new friend’s guide and protector as they adventure across Latin America! Buuuut series is certainly slow paced! 😀

Quite a diverse group of characters- most notably the human Naomi who is a cute genius, often spying and communicating through her technological creations.
