Was River Heights originally in Alabama?

I know the internet says River Hieghts is in Chicago, but early novels do involve a lot near the river and bungalows, but also they sometimes mention cities like Huntsville and Birmingham as if they are nearby.

However book 2, involves a colonial mansion, despite such not existing in Alabama, much less Illanois, because the colonies didn’t expand that far west until well after the revolutionary war.

Then again a series running sense the ‘30s has got to have some geographical anomalies. Perhaps River heights is just a few miles from Springfield.

Similar to my male tarzanesque design, this is somewhat anime inspired and supposed to be slightly more modest than traditional Sheena and the like.

Taking inspiration from San, of Princess Mononoke 1997, the main deviation in this design is a modest under-layer, like an almost knee length bodysuit, perhaps made of bark fiber. This is covered by two separate pieces of animal hide, in this case leopard, with the gap between the two supposed to involve the feeling of the traditional two piece without veering into male gaze. Though I’m concerned the additional modesty might make such a character feel Tarzanesque.

Of course I added several accessories as well. She’s also barefoot because honestly it just feels wrong to have a tarzanesque character wear boots.

As for her ethnicity, she was originally going to be white, just because blonde hair doesn’t require as much shading in a quick sketch, but I eventually ended up shading it in anyway. However this is only a concept piece for my basic design for a Tarzanesque heroine’s costume, not one of my actual characters.

Also apologies for lack of quality. It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn a female character and this was supposed to be a quick sketch.
