If we were to go by roots, there might be a possibility that Mila could be another Douglas daughter. Besides, one of his mistresses (Isabella) happens to be Spanish. and not yet marked out from Helena's hit list lol

I prefer a Douglas son for a change anyways lol.
I still don't get TN and its obsession with half-sibling relationships. It's like I expect someday there would probably be a half-sister for Rig from Switzerland, a half-brother for Lisa from Puerto Rico or a half-sister for Tina from Egypt.

Same exact moves, plus the whole Lauren looked European, and how could a diner waitress afford to travel around the world for mma championships? Maybe Leon was sending his mercenary money back home to Mila? Why does Leon have a tag team with Tina and Bass? MMila connection. maybe I had it reversed. maybe Leon blames himself for laurens death but Mila doesn't. extremely similar styles in fighting, down to sharing.ahandful of moves, etc. I know I'm all over the place, but combined with other points I made earlier, are you starting to see my train of thought?

I do kind of, but to be honest, I find the similarities in their movesets to be rather negligible. They both have a mount tackle, and...what else? If anything, Mila's moves more show influence from Bass and Tina, which makes sense considering. As for Leon having tag throws with Tina and Bass, what's up with Hayabusa and Tina? Or Hitomi and Lisa? Tag throws aren't the best way to judge character relations, to be frank.
In regards to Lauren's European appearance, there's to consider that both Leon and Lauren have blue eyes, while Mila's are brown. While such certainly is possible in real life, it's rather rare, and genetics as seen in media frequently dictate it to be impossible. Not to mention, Lauren isn't a Spanish name; it wouldn't make much sense for an Italian and a whateversheis, neither of which showing clear Spanish heritage, to have a Spanish daughter and give her a Spanish name.
As for money, I'm far from an expert on the world of MMA (or any competitive sport, for that matter), but is it possible that she uses the money from championships she's won to travel? Her bio in story mode does make mention that she's 'made a clean sweep of many tournaments.' If that were the case, it would make sense to work a part-time job so she can sustain herself without spending the money she's saving for travel.
Which, btw, is my second favorite tag-throw in the game.

He used to have blue eyes actually. Now it's in a dull olive green color. I wish it was back.
Even Helena had aquamarine eyes and now it is just plain green. Same goes for Christie who used to have blue eyes but now it is purple.

I wish they could have been more faithful to the original eye colors though. Sure, it's not the first time they did this (Ayane eye color transition from brown to red to pink to red) but to some, it is probably how they remembered seeing their old characters.

The Deception outfits for Ayane and Helena could be hooked back in and get a few slight modifications but then again, there is a new Deception game so TN might probably incorporate outfits from the current game instead of the old one.

In order of paragraph. 1). also bass kick, leaping overhead punch, armbar, back kick, and at least one more I can't remember right now. 2) this is the part I admit is a bit of a stretch. bbut then again, the only thing Spanish about Mila is her name, so it could be just Spanish heritage and Lauren named her in respect to that, or because Mila was simply born or conieved in Spain, what with Leon and Lauren being travelers. 3). that is possible, though kinda doubtful. could definitely travel on merc money though.

Hate to say this @Argentus , but if they really wanted Mila to be related to Leon they would have already mentioned it as that's a very significant character relationship. Even Kokoro, who wasn't blatantly stated as being Helena's half-sister in 4, was still heavily implied to be as such during her conversation with her before their fight (and was confirmed in 5 anyway). It's not impossible but most likely not the direction they want to go with her character.
