Yep, that's me, epicanthic fold and uncreased/single upper lid and all. The LJ handle comes from the title character of a novel by Peter Hoeg -- her name is a portmanteau of the Danish "smile" and the Greenlandic Inuit "millaraq" which is said to translate to something like "little humming one". Smilla Jaspersen is an utterly fascinating narrator -- half-Danish/half-Greendlandic and all prickly. As a similarly prickly halfbreed from the other side of the Bering Strait, well, I identify with her on a lot of levels.

And, hmmm, oval face with the predictable native cheekbones to go with the eyes, but unremarkable chin; very broad hipbones and shoulders, but fairly small-boned in the hands and feet...so once again almost but not quite? Cousins, perhaps, if not twins. ;)
