Since I'm a former Asian horror fan, most of my heroines (I always play women and girls) are Asians. I love Japanese culture, but since many hipsters "love” it too, "because it's soooo original” (sic!), most of my girls are Koreans. Rarely Japanese (because of those hipster spoilsports) or Chinese (I don't wield this language, because it's way more difficult than Japanese or Korean, so since I can't put ideogram nor accented wovel, I don't want to risk humiliating myself by my own ignorance).

It's a shame that there is no possibility to put a dash in two-pronged given names. It forces me to write name So-hee as So Hee etc. Exceptions are these books that make choosing Asian girl impossible or implausible, or just the other races’ female portraits are prettier... In these cases, I try to use Roman or Celtic names. If not possible, I use English names similar to default.
 * Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior: Yoo-jin 유진
 * LoveHacks: Da-young 다영
 * Royal Romance: Bo-ram 보람 (MC), and the Prince is Li Qian (力謙 "strong but modest”, 力虔 "strong and sincere”, 力千 "power of thousand” - I think that it fits to Prince's character) - however, I don't wield Chinese language, so I'm open to suggestions and corrects. I were just influenced by some TV series where certain Korean girl marries certain Chinese boy, despite the fact that it was historical forgery.
 * Hero: Kyung-Ah 경아
 * It Lives: Ji-won 지원
 * Home for the Holidays: Soo-jin 수진 (formerly So-young 소영, but since there are no dashes, I had to write it So Young - quite awkward in quickly read English text)
 * Perfect Match: Eun-suh 은수 Park 박 (it must have been destiny, because surname Park was default and unchangeable by Pixelberry itself)
 * Bloodbound: Aimi 愛美 ("beautiful love”) or Ai 愛 ("love”) if Asian, Aimee if Caucasian
 * VoS: Jin-sung 진성 if Asian, Jessica if Caucasian
 * AME: Jae-yi 재이
 * Red Carpet Diaries: Min-Ah 민아 or Ji-hye 지혜
 * Elementalists: Eun-young 은영 Hur 허
 * Ride or Die: Mi-hee 미희 or So-hee 소희
 * HSS Class Act: Su-yeon 수연 (MC) and Seo-jun 서준 (twin brother)
 * The Heist: Ok-bin 옥빈 (not from horror, but since it means "outstanding treasure” or "refined jade”, I think it fits to the heroine)
 * Open Heart: due to my personal situation, MC's nationality and name depends on my mood. I've replayed this book several times, with Japanese and Korean heroines, and of course their names originated from certain famous Japanese and Korean horrors. Maybe in the future I'll play Caucasian girl resembling me physically and with name similar to mine, but I'm not ready for this now - it's just too painful.
 * RoE: Kylie (MC), rest of family members have default names; although Elena’s cat is Li Su (力肃, read: Lee Soo, mean: "respectful power”)
 * Haunting of Braidwood Manor: Harriet
 * HSS: Jordan Lee (default)
 * Desire & Decorum: Caireann Mallory (I wanted O'Malley, but there are no apostrophes, alongside with no dashes…)
 * Big Sky Country: Moya, Moira or Maire
 * ACoR: Bellatrix ("beautiful warrior”), although in the future I'll give her some Roman name for A (Aurora, Aurelia, Aeliana etc.)
 * ES: Livia or Octavia
 * Across the Void: Nona
