[Shepherd]

Atlanto-Med + Armenoid

[Tooting Carmen]

Anyone else?

[Sikeliot]

She looks a lot like my Sicilian cousin from Palermo. I agree with Atlanto-Med/Armenoid.

Do you know where in Greece her family is from? I can't imagine her passing as anything else besides southern Italian and Greek.

Do you know where in Greece her family is from?

No idea I'm afraid.

[Sikeliot]

No idea I'm afraid.

Probably Dodecanese, judging by her look.

[Tiberio]

You have scanned all these places and know the full diversity of course.

Now,Kylie who has grown up with her TV shows through wikipedia will tell you where she's from.

According to this (http://artsreview.com.au/on-the-couch-with-maria-mercedes/),her surname seems to be Pontic Greek.

Anyway,agreed with Litorid and probably wouldn't be a very uncommon look for Crete and whereabouts who absolutely don't seem identical to Sicilians genetically but the least more "Eastern"/Anatolian shifted.

[Sikeliot]

^ Insults edited out.

Anyway, even if not "identical" to Cretans, Sicilians are much closer to them than to mainland Greeks.

[Odin]

Dinaro-Med.

[Tooting Carmen]

Her real name is actually Maria Moutsidis. She's been back in Neighbours recently playing a totally different character. More photos:
