I think we should have more OCs from non-European fairy tales. While of my OCs are from European fairy tales, I have several from non-European fairy tales. Salim Ettemsuch is based on The Daughter of Buk Ettemsuch, which is my favorite non-European fairy tale (it's from North Africa - I think Libya to be exact). Devika Nagini is from The Snake Prince, an Indian fairy tale. Fatima Mkono is from The One-Handed Girl, a Swahili fairy tale. I do have two OC from Turkish fairy tales, but technically part of Turkey is in Europe, even though its culture is different from most of Europe.
