It's kind of a shame that novel format means that while I can describe the characters, people don't get the full experience of all the colors and visuals included the same way they would reading a comic or watching a show.
Even within my novel's characters of the same ethnicities (Andrew, Alicia, Kattar, and Mrs. Moon), they all have different complexions ranging from a sort of chocolate brown (Mrs. Moon) to a lighter peanut-buttery toasted cashew shade of brown that is Kattar.
Alicia and her little brother are in the middle, as Alicia has the complexion of cinnamon while her little brother is closer to ground coriander in complexion (excuse my eccentric use of foods as descriptions.)
And they have a wide variety of features and hair textures as well, but there's only so much time people are going to want to sit reading about the shape of someone's nose or how much coil is in their hair. The most we really get is the knowledge that Alicia's hair is actually curly enough to be considered curls while she always describes Kattar's hair as a black curtain or veil, giving you the impression that it's pretty straight.
I was actually talking with my dad earlier about Alicia's eyebrows, oddly enough, because I was drawing a doodle of her, and I was telling how I imagined her either with very dark or fairly thick eyebrows. It's a bold feature I feel like exists quite often in Hispanic girls, and by my dad's suggestion, she has both. They're not Groucho Marx eyebrows by any means, but they do stand out. It's probably her least dollish feature.
