On arrival, I thought for sure it was evil creature in disguise, but very quickly it became apparent that it was a time trap, but I played through it anyway because I thought...the devs put in a lot of hard work to create this scene, so damnit, I am going to play through it! So in a sense, they got me to fall for it either way.
Is her portrait supposed to appear on the World Map?
I don't think it's on the world map, but it definitely should appear on the MC's home screen (where you can go to the basement, the bedrooms, etc.). It's over on the right, but only shows up if there is more content to see for Shani and her journeys. It also doesn't appear earlier in the game; Shani has to have started her own journey in one of the dangerous Zones before her portrait starts showing up.
They are considered exotic because the setting is in egypt there are hardly any travel any more
Plus the story will likely later reveal, that it was the Europeans who caused this apocalypse somehow, so it would be plausible there is not much left of European civilization.
It was the Great Satan
embarisment/lust/love/ or just in shock i would say.
well.. the same color can be noticed in Asha and Kitty's eyes when they look at the MC
