what is she? I think she's Italian.

The director wanted a puerto rican girl to play her.

I confused. >_<

I think she is itlian too

I think she's supposed to be Puerto Rican. The poverty, Apache's tattoo and her words give me that impression.

If somebody did research or something like that maybe we would know.

Deborah didn't necessarily have the same heritage as Mercy.

Puerto Rican is my best bet.

i don't know. maybe she changed her last name?

with the "Van" in it it sounds dutch. but i doubt she's dutch

the character of mercy in my opinion is italian.

deborah herself sounds as though she has either dutch or belgian ancestory.

van can be either dutch or belgian and von is german.

Yeah, she seems Italian...she does seem a bit Mexican or Puerto Rican, by her hair. But she seems Italian.

allways thought of her as a latin woman, but italian also makes sense to me.
