I had to think this one over a bit. I picked my top 3 influences with the understanding that I wanted Poe's experience of feeling dischord with her Mito'qe culture being the driving force for her venturing out from her family.
Leeloo (besides loving her hair, even if they aren't totally legit dreads, I appreciate them!)
Chiyo (Sayuri's child name) is another influence. While I do look toward her transformation as she matured and became a Geisha, it's her child persona that I truly draw from.
Sam (Natalie Portman from Garden State) I love someone not afraid to truly be themselves!
