Original Note:
Originally Betty Boop was a (white) dog who later was became a typical (white) flapper girl based on several stars like Helen Kane, Clara Bow, etc. There's no evidence she was (only) based on then 10 year old Esther Jones. In her first colour cartoon Betty was a redhead. https://youtu.be/79tIpX8Tnl0?si=bN3ZZOgRSMxOIy07 https://youtu.be/7M2FA2rjYg4?si=XDL6izIqX9mpDijU https://www.pbs.org/publiceditor/blogs/pbs-public-editor/betty-oops/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betty_Boop#Origins
