Face-paint woman (mythology)

The face-paint woman (Finmiri: kettu-lami du tatala metau, literally "female-person with painted face") is a species from Native Calicoan mythology. They look like human women, but they have multicolored face markings, and they reproduce asexually. According to some myths, the babies look like human teenage girls, the elderly look like middle-aged women, and they live for 100 years. This myth may be based on an anthropomorphisation of the Calicoan painted lizard, which has bright markings on its face and arms, and also reproduces asexually and has no males in its species.
