Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 ''{{wp|ganguro}}'', blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child. Smoochum could also be based on the legend of {{wp|Kintarō}}, a human child raised by the {{wp|Yama-uba}}, another possible origin of Jynx. | Smoochum may be based on ガン黒 ''{{wp|ganguro}}'', blonde-haired, tanned Japanese girls, but is meant to resemble an otherwise normal human child. {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, a possible origin for Jynx, is sometimes shown as holding a seemingly human child.
