I don't know what Marian was intended to be other than exotic-looking, but if we assume she's the same ethnicity as the actress, then the theory's off. Yes, but the actress's ethnic background may not be intended to be a big deal. Look at Mulan. She's played by a korean person (which I don't have a problem with. I think Jamie has done a good job as an actress). In the acting business, people often get picked for roles that doesn't fit with their actual ethnic background.
