That funny pig-head characteristic of Osamu Tezuka (which drew 'Hi no Tori' or 'Phoenix' manga) is enough indication.

And damn she's drawn a cut above the rest.

Oh, so that's what that was? I thought it was something random thrown on for accessorizing purposes.

Edit: Whoa, she's even designed after Tezuka's phoenix! Compare her to this

Hair's a pretty close match, that has to be intentional. I love it when character designers sneak in references like this.
