Brazil is not the evolution of the Native Americans roots or the extension of Europe, the Brazilians r the mix of the Europeans, Native Americans, Africans and Asiatics. The first Brazilians were the mix of Portuguese fathers with Tupi mothers, the first famous marriage that happened was between the sailor Diogo Alves of Portugal with the Princess Paraguaçu of Tupinambá (a part of the Tupi root). For this reason I think Paraguaçu, the daughter of the main cacique of the Tupinambá, is the "mother of Brazil" :)

Civilopedia The Tupis:
The Tupis are the most important Brazilian Native Indian race, Jês, Caribs and Arawaks being the other ones. They have many divisions. The Tupi root, for example, is divided between the Guaranís, Tabajaras, Tamoios and dozens of other tribes. The Tupi groups are linked by language, social organization and some cultural links. They inhabited the eastern coast of South America and parts of the interior, having borders with The Jês and other races. They live in small villages and never had a King or Great Leader who promoted their unification. Today, Brazil has 350.000 Native Indians, they continue living in small villages inside the forest (protected by government laws) or in big cities. Before the Portuguese and Europeans conquered theirs land 500 years ago, they were more than 5 million, just on present day Brazilian territory.
Cacique Cunhambebe is the great leader of this Civ in Civilization 3. The cacique is the most import person on Tupi society, they are the leaders of their tribes. Cunhambebe, cacique of the Tamoios, fought against the Portuguese in XVI century, in the biggest Indian rebellion against the abuses of the Europeans in Brazilian lands. He organized his tribe and allies to fight for freedom. This war was in the coast of nowadays São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states. The Tupi won the starting battles, but, after having signed a peace agreement, they were betrayed by the Colonists and destroyed. Tupinambá, the main village of this group was totally destroyed, as well as the little and allied ones. This village was the most important settlement in Tupi history, its power is compared with the most powerful cities of The Aztecs and Incas. After this episode, Tupi survivors fled to the interior, where they were enslaved or married with the Europeans to promote the occupation of the colony. Cunhambebe died of a strong flu after the wars, he gathered many Tupi Tribes for a short time, as a Great Leader.
Tupi have the bonuses Agricultural (they survive by agriculture, fishing and hunting) and Militaristic (the war is a holy tradition of their culture). In spite of the peaceful way of life, Tupi are warriors and are concerned with the art of war. In Vanilla and PTW versions, Tupi are considerate Militaristic and Religious.

Looks good.
Suggestions:
Maybe add eyebrows in the two later eras.
I've no idea what a tupi should look like, but her eyes might be a little small.
In the two later eras, esp the modern one, her forehead seems a little large.
It is not important, but her hair color shifts a little from era to era.

thanks man! I added the eyebrows and changed her hair color in the industrial age, the rest I think it is fine :) Actily hers forehead has the same size in the 4 eras, but the hair hides its sizes in the 1st two eras.
