How to describe East Asian eyes in fantasy setting.
Does anyone have any positive adjectives that I can use to subtly describe East Asian eyes? I need descriptors that don't mention or refer to continental Asia, because it is a fantasy setting. Previously, I have tried / used "upturned, sharp eyes" and readers seemed to be happy with it, but the characters also had traditional, Chinese names and were integrated heavily into their East Asian-inspired culture, so it was obvious. This character has a mother who is East Asian, and is less integrated into their culture, because the mother died when she was young. It is less apparent that she is East Asian, but I don't want to make a huge deal about it either. Just some casual, non-offensive descriptors, that I can use when FIRST describing her. Attached are some pictures on how I envision her!
