Anyone else notice that Liliana of the Dark Realms has some visual similarities with Mazenda from the manga/anime Slayers?  I'm focusing on the hair cape, abnormally long forearms, and perhaps the lack of well-defined legs/feet.  I don't really have anything profound to say about this connection; I just couldn't find anyone else saying this on the Internet, and for some reason, I felt like the world needed to know.

I didn't mean to insinuate that it was plagiarism or anything like that; this is likely just an example of how culture teaches us that certain characteristics fit archetypes.  It's like how the El dra zi resemble the Ogdru Jahad from Hellboy, but rather than the former copying the latter, they were both inspired by the "Great Old Ones" from the Cthulhu Mythos.

I guess there's just something about extra-long forearms that screams "I'm a being of great, dark power!"
