	The name of Roxana, a character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'', is the Hellenization of the [[Iran\|Persian]] name ''Roshanak'', which she shares with a few notable Persian noblewomen, particularly the wife of [[Alexander the Great]]. Based on this, it is possible that Roxana has some Persian heritage, and is most likely from either [[Asia Minor]] or [[Cyprus]], as there was intermarriage between Greeks and Persians within the [[Achaemenid Empire]].

The name of Roxana, a character in ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]'', is the Hellenization of the [[Iran\|Persian]] name ''Roshanak'', which she shares with a few notable Persian noblewomen, particularly the wife of [[Alexander the Great]]. Based on this, it is possible that Roxana has some Persian heritage, and is most likely from either [[Asia Minor]] or [[Cyprus]], as there was intermarriage between Greeks and Persians within the [[Achaemenid Empire]]. Her relatively dark skin tone, however, is inconsistent with the typical appearance of either Greeks or Persians at the time; it may be considered a case of artistic license by [[Ubisoft\|Ubisoft Quebec]].

	Roxana's shield features the emblem of [[Boeotia]] in [[Athens\|Athenian]] colors. This may suggest that her family either hailed from said regions, or was dedicated to them. If Roxana is slain, her shield can be looted as a [[Trade Goods\|trade good]], with the description mentioning how even "the goddess [[Athena]] herself would be pleased to possess a shield such as this."
