I don’t know the provenance of this image, but an image search cross-referencing with a clue in what is certainly a long-dead Tumblr post (on long dead-to-me Tubblr) suggests that this is a fictional character named Casca. Reblogged from this 27 March 2016 post at Infernal Wonders.

PAGE 33 (Two panels)
Panel 1: Probably smaller inset above. Eliza and Daphne meeting in an office somewhere, shaking hands somewhat tentatively.
CAPTION – TURPENTINE NARRATING (1): Eventually, we were down to two candidates, one to serve in the principal attempt and the second as an alternate.
Translation (1): Finalement, nous avons retenu deux candidates, l’une pour la tentative principale et la deuxième en tant que remplaçante.
Eliza (2): Uh, hi!
Translation (2): Euh, salut !
Daphne (3): How do you do.
Comment (3) : The English phrase “how do you do” is often conflated with “how are you?” but this is incorrect. “How do you do” is not an inquiry after someone’s health or mental state the way “how are you?” might be. Rather, it is a form of greeting used by someone of formal manners or high social status when introduced to someone for the first time. One responds to “how do you do” with “how do you do.” It should be translated accordingly.
Translation (3): Comment allez-vous ?
Panel 2: Eliza and Daphne sitting at a table in a richly-appointed conference room of a major law firm. Across from them sit some serious-looking lawyers. Eliza is signing something.
CAPTION – TURPENTINE NARRATING (4): We had them sign agreements of various kinds: consents to the procedure, agreements to prominent mention in all publications related to the project, and also contracts with compensation of a sort: a charity of each’s choosing would get a contribution of $1,000,000 upon each’s completion of her…contribution.
Translation (4): Nous leur avons demandé de signer des accords de différents types : consentement à la procédure, accord que leur nom soit cité dans toutes les publications liées au projet, et également des contrats prévoyant une certaine forme de rémunération : Un organisme de bienfaisance de leur choix chacun recevrait une contribution de 1 000 000 $ à l’issue de la… contribution… de chacune.

PAGE 32 (Single panel page – do in color)
Single panel: A girl swimming partly upright underwater in a giant (at least 6 meters high and 4 meters in diameter) cylindrical glass tank. She is wearing a utilitarian one-piece swimsuit, to which various “tentacle” attachments have been made at various places, including at the breasts and between her legs. Her face is covered with an attachment rather like the “mask” that covered Phoebe Petrobux’s face in her last appearance above the surface. Beneath the swimming girl’s feet there is a large tube similar to the feeding siphon the creature is believed to have. Off to the right of the panel a white-coated scientist is operating a control panel with a variety of levers and dials. To the left, another scientist watches monitors and keeps notes.
CAPTION – TURPENTINE NARRATING (1): Those women who got through the initial rounds of the process went through a simulation test.
Translation (1): étapes initiales de la procédure ont dû se plier à un test de simulation.
CAPTION – TURPENTINE NARRATING (2): We don’t want subjects who will panic and struggle under field conditions.
Translation (2): Nous ne voulons pas de personnes paniquant et qui auront du mal sur le terrain.
