This character would be a woman from ancient Egypt who has married into the imperial family of China after a long journey across the Indian Ocean. Her story was inspired by that of Queen Ankhesenamun, who was Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s chief wife. After Tut died and his vizier Ay took over, Ankhesenamun’s known to have requested a husband from the Hittites of Anatolia, only for the man they sent to die en route. It’s likely that Ay and his goons had something to do with that.
It makes me think Ankhesenamun really didn’t want to be Ay’s wife, so what if she fled the country afterward? For all we know, she could have very well traveled all the way to China and married into the ruling Shang dynasty. Right now, though, her fate remains a mystery of ancient history…
By the way, the characters on the upper right spell “Egyptian” in Chinese.
