I love Velvet and Veneer's final look because I think it fits really well with the "Gen-Z teenage celebrity" stereotype, a lot better than what them being Bergens could have. the ONLY thing I wished they kept was Velvet's occasional misuse and mispronunciation of big words. it would have been really interesting to see that trait in a kid's movie character.

Daigvianes. (Kartalino-Kakhetian Georgian traditional folk song)
(ჰამლეტ გონაშვილი. Hamlet Gonashvili accompanied by members of the Rustavi choir)
დაიგვიანეს, ჯერ არსად სჩანან! / მაგრამ სალამურს თუ მოჰკრეს ყური, / ანდამატურის ძალით გამოსწევს / აქეთკენ მის გულს ხმა უცნაური. //
ვინ ქვაბულიძე და ვინ მეცხვარე?! / იქ, ბარში, ყველა ჩემი ტოლები / მტრებში ვეფხვივით დანავარდობენ / და მე კი ცხვარში აქ ვიმალები!. //
მერე როგორ დროს? მაშინ, როდესაც / სხვა უდიდესი წინ გვიძევს ვალი! / მაგრამ ეს მოხდა ჩემს უნებურად, / გულთამხილავო, და არ მაქვს ბრალი!. //
კიდევ არ სჩანან... ეგებ წავიდენ, / გაიარეს და ვერ მოვკარ თვალი? / აჰ, ღმერთო ჩემო! ჯერ უმისოდაც / დაბნეული მაქვს მე გზა და კვალი! //
[Akaki Tsereteli]
(Daigvianes, jer arsad schanan! / Magram salamurs tu mohkʼres qʼuri, / Andamatʼuris dzalit gamostsʼevs / Aketkʼen mis guls khma utsnauri. // Vin kvabulidze da vin metskhvare?! / Ik, barshi, qʼvela chemi tʼolebi / Mtʼrebshi vepkhvivit danavardoben / Da me kʼi tskhvarshi ak vimalebi!.. // Mere rogor dros? Mashin, rodesats / Skhva udidesi tsʼin gvidzevs vali! / Magram es mokhda chems uneburad, / Gultamkhilavo, da ar makvs brali!.. // Kʼidev ar schanan... Egeb tsʼaviden, / Gaiares da ver movkʼar tvali? / Ah, ghmerto chemo! jer umisodats / Dabneuli makvs me gza da kʼvali!)
_ Hamlet.

Im a bit newer to WoW and i could care less about the Dragon Flights but i though Nozdormu always looked like that
he used to be slightly more asian-coded (evidenced by his stereotypical "fu manchu" mustache)—about as much as the old gelkis/magram centaur were, though riddled with negative "marauder" stereotypes.
this, night elves, and "woo ping", are what used to pass for 'asian' in wow. night elves borrow some cultural elements from korean and other east asian cultures, such as pagoda architecture, celebration of lunar new year, food items like kimchi and red bean buns, and clothing items like hanboks. but as far as immediate visual decoding, canon, and fan reception, these cultural influences are rarely featured in the characterization or depiction of night elves.
enter nozdormu's few appearances in the caverns of time dungeons and the dragon soul raid:
sure cata's graphics weren't the best, but nozdormu's custom model was read by much of wow's playerbase as asian, especially when compared to the standard blood elf model and other dragons in the same cinematic.
speaking of limited representation in wow's history, alexstrasza also used to have more of a bronze skin tone, as you can see in the screenshot above, and sometimes nozdormu was drawn this way by fans—he is a bronze dragon, after all! for example, this art of nozdormu fighting murozond, drawn by blizzard-featured chinese fan artist breathing2004, gives nozdormu both darker hair and skin tone:
alexstrasza was also later whitewashed compared to her cataclysm model, both in official artwork and in her debut in heroes of the storm:
here is a fanmade comparison, from left to right: her cataclysm model, a screenshot from the announcement cinematic, and her in-game model/default skin in hots. below is alexstrasza's in-game cataclysm model at the end of dragon soul, versus official artwork in the book Thrall: Twilight of the Aspects:
she has reached a (somewhat) happy medium in dragonflight. her skin maintains a darker undertone and now boasts freckles and makeup highlights, but the overall color is more of a "blink and you'll miss it" general "warm" tone than the distinct darker skintone of her cataclysm model.
here she is in a pre-rendered cinematic in dragonflight (extra warm because she's looking out at the sunset; compare her "darker" skin to the lighting on wrathion's). but hey, at least she's not pink anymore.
to bring it back to nozdormu, in the same cinematic nozdormu's model is markedly different from both the loading screen artwork (right) and in the legacies shorts (bottom). his eye shape suggests possible epicanthic folds, which seem to have been sculpted specifically for nozdormu as they are not the standard for the blood elf model, yet they are absent in the artwork. (there were other elf models with similar eyes in the past, but blizzard rounded them for the player models).
overall i think both nozdormu and alexstrasza stlll "read" as white. it doesnt really help that the "east asian" facial options promised at blizzcon 2019 were never truly delivered; the "asian" eyes as they are in-game (right) look nothing like the concept presented (left):
as a result it may be a while before there is true asian representation in WoW, and nozdormu's ambiguity means those fans are now waiting even longer.
