So I was wondering why Joss decided to make one of his new characters, who has such a prominent role in Season Eight, of Asian descent. My thought? To tip his hat to his sister-in-law Maurissa Tacharoen. She has said a few times, while being interviewed for her work on "Dr. Horrible" and "Dollhouse", that she suffered from being typecast as the cute Asian friend in movies, rather than strong, fleshed-out characters (like Satsu). Any other thoughts on Satsu?  |

Very interesting indeed. Satsu does kind of look like her!! In fact, I have convinced myself that this idea is true. Hehe.

It looks a lot like her. We should ask Scott next Q & A if this is true.

Very interesting idea! This could very well be the case. It could be like him saying "See! It doesn't happen ALL the time!".

Even if Satsu wasn't inspired by Maurissa, I think she'd be a good choice for a live action version of the character!

dude... i don't mean to sound like a pig... and i apologize if i offend anyone, but Damn she's hot!
it wouldn't surprise me if Joss did that... i mean we know that he based some of Buffy on his mother (and Kitty Pryde) so it would be cool if he paid homage to his sister-in-law.
