Xilonen and her Brazil elements

Just starting off the post saying that I know she also has Mexican elements in her character, Genshin has a tendency of mixing a bunch of cultures up so it's entirely possible for her to be both Mexican AND Brazilian, I won't talk about those aspects because I'm clearly not Mexican-

Brazil Mexico union okay??? No fights, we love you Mexicans 🇲🇽🇧🇷

First we'll start with the fact that Xilonen is a jaguar! Jaguars are animals that are typically found on the American Continent, Xilonen has the same patterns of their fur, plus she is also shown laying on a tree on the trailer, which is a thing jaguars do. Jaguars are important figures to Brazil (plus they're called onça-pintada... calling them jaguar feels like a crime), they represent our biodiversity and how it's important to protect and conserve these species. The country decided to represent national species on the official money notes, and the jaguar is present in the 50 reais note.

From what we've seen from her so far, she is related to music, probably a DJ, and in fact some of her elements are related to the most stereotypical Brazil things ever, Samba, Carnival and Funk.

I'll begin this part talking about each of these thing in more detail. Samba is a Brazilian music genre and dance usually related with Carnival, it's origins come from Afro-Brazilian people communities in Bahia and then later on Rio de Janeiro. The Brazilian Carnival is the most popular holiday in Brazil, where people usually just come together to have fun and dance, it's very tied to Samba as most people there dance it during Carnival. Funk is a music genre in Brazil that came from black communities in Rio de Janeiro, mostly from favelas. All of these things are part of Brazil culture and also part of the stereotype people outside think of Brazil, usually people think we are only these things

As for Xilonen, her high heels are extremely similar to the heels the Samba dancers use, her makeup is glittery and she has glitter around various parts of her body, glitter is very used in Brazilian Carnival. Her outfit looks like a typical outfit a Brazilian funk dancer would wear (if you disagree about that just take a look at Brazilian Miku design) and her lots of rings and big necklaces are also used by funk singers.

This particular idle or hers looks like she's kinda dancing Samba with her roller-skates, but I'm not entirely sure about it

Last part, her signature dish is made using the brigadeiro recipe, which is a traditional Brazilian food! But her signature dish looks like just some regular chocolates unfortunately

As you might have noticed, most of these elements in Brazil culture are from Afro-Brazilian origin... So why the fuck is she white?? I know Brazil IS diverse and has white people but... this is kinda like making a white rapper character, wait hoyo already did that too?? No surprise.
