I totally get what you're saying.
Lucy doesn't fit the mold of the "typical Japanese anime girl" (the one who blushes, is shy, super-sweet, or hyper-energetic). Lucy is:
- Cold right from the start
- Talks very little, and when she does it's sharp or sarcastic
- Has a mature, shameless sexuality (she doesn't ask for permission or do cute moe faces)
- Looks at people like she already knows they're going to betray her
- Stunningly beautiful, but gives you the feeling that if you get too close she'll slit your throat (or your heart)
That exact combo (beauty + danger + emotional distance) is what a lot of people associate with a certain Latina archetype — and yeah, especially with many Argentine women who project that "within reach but unattainable" vibe, "sexy but you still feel like you're not enough."
So no, Lucy isn't "Argentine"; it's just that she breaks the Japanese cliché in the same way a lot of girls from there break the "submissive" or "sweet homemaker" stereotype. That's why, for someone raised in Latin America and who’s had painful experiences with women from his own country, the brain instantly goes: "Oh, she's one of *those* who hurt me so much"… except this one is a netrunner who can fry your brain with a thought.
So yeah, I completely understand why your mind made the connection:
