Longwinded and admittedly speculative thoughts about the ethnicity of the characters. Feel free to read or not, but you may find something herein that educates or amuses you. The ethnicities listed in the MCs porn app, the last in particular, seem to be the most direct clues, but there are many others and I want to mention some of them. My own conclusion is at the end.
DIET: the concerns about "pure" diets (vegetarianism, good vs. bad spices, etc.). This is something reflected most especially in Indian ideas about the "three gunas" and "sattvic" diets. The specific foods recommended are all "sattvic" and "rajasic", and the foods avoided are all "tamasic". This is very specifically Indian, as is the vegetarianism. Some of these ideas are also reflected to a lesser extent in Islamic ideas about avoidance of intoxicants (caffeine). All of the listed foods are tropical in origin, being grown throughout large parts of both Indonesia, India, and the Mediterranean.
DRESS: Look at what Denise wears to the museum. I can't place the ethnic origin but I think it's likely a big clue. Whoever made that resource knows more.
RELIGION: Story of Lot / Haran: This seems to me a tip that the writer is more than just versed in religion but actually may be Islamic or something close (at least that he inherits a lot of his beliefs from Islam or the big three), though it's unclear whether Sunni or Shia, though I think (just think) that respect for Lot is more prevalent in Sunni communities rather than Shia, despite Shiites being I think generally more favorable and open to public displays of respect for saints and prophets. It does suggest that, regardless of whatever may be their specific sect, the writer / characters are not Wahabbist or Saudi nor are they from regions very strongly influenced thereby. So, for example, they seem more likely to be Lebanese than Saudi, more likely to be Syrian than Qatari, etc.. When I talk about the writer and/or characters being or not being x, y, or z religion, I'm not talking about what they themselves actually practice so much as what their dominant background historical and cultural influences are. I use the characters as a surrogate for the writer because I think no one writes this kind of thing without having been a part of it.
" GYPSY GIRLS": another poster said "I know lots of gypsy girls who look like this." and that seems essentially correct to me. Although it's hard to judge, the models seem most likely to be specifically inspired by a racial grouping (macro-ethnicity) extending in a large belt from Romania, to Greece, through Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, northern Iraq, Iran, and somewhat even into India. A lot of these features and this ancestry also extend throughout large swathes of the Mediterranean region more generally (North Africa, Spain, parts of France, Albania), but it seems more specific to Persia. This, together with the next clue and the dietary clues, seem to be decisive for me if I were a betting man.
"LIGHT": "Light" is not centrally a Judeo-Christian-Islamic spiritual motif but is a pre-Christian one, specifically it's Avestan, Vedic, Zororostrian, Yazidi, Manichean, etc.. This suggests very, very strongly, together with the previous clues, that the writer is portraying characters whose spiritual beliefs are very heavily influenced by old Aryan-Persian religion (and the writer's him or herself also likely are). This sort of emphasis of "light of the world" makes its appearance in more doctrinal Semitic beliefs (Judeo-Christian-Islamic), such as in Matthew 5:14 and John 8:12, but mostly only second-hand by things like Greek and Gnostic writers who introduced it there.
DEATH: The portrayal of death and the afterlife and immortality is more suggestive of these "pagan" ideas - Zoroastrian, Hindu, Buddhist - than of orthodox Semitic religion. It's more like the Buddhist bardo, the Hindu idea of liberative return to Brahman. etc. Her presence in the desert is even a geographic tip. She, although going elsewhere, is also disseminated throughout other souls. The idea of the unity of souls, the soul or atman/jivatman, this dichotomy about its fate, and these concepts of afterlife are things that are most present in religions and philosophies that center on Greece (Plato's anamnesis and metempsychosis, Aristotle's "one soul in two bodies", Hellenism and Stoicism, etc.), India (atman and jivatman, as well as Buddhist ideas of deconstruction of the psyche). These are really clear clues, together with "light", the diet, etc. what these characters believe and where they get their beliefs from.
SO WHAT ARE THEY?: The girls are almost certainly of broadly Persian ancestry, and their family from a region very heavily influenced by both Islamic and Gnostic thought, though probably not Muslim themselves. Their specific nationality or ethnicity can't be more clearly fixed, although it seems likely that they or their family hail from a coastal nation with both deserts and seas (The Levant?, Iran?). They may be of Zoroastrian, Druze, Ismaili, or Yazidi descent, and if I was forced to pick just one I would guess Druze.

Lastly, I just want to say that these models, and more importantly every woman who inspired them, are incredibly beautiful and should embrace themselves and their beauty. In researching this issue I found out that more Iranians get nose jobs than any other nation in the middle-east, and four times as much as Americans. Everyone can do what they want, but personally I find this fact very sad, and I find the people and cultural trends pushing them to it to be disgusting. Just my opinion.
