Who is that girl? The mysterious face of Healthcare.gov

She smiles back at countless frustrated Americans as they tried to log on to the ObamaCare website, the picture of youthful health and wholesome trust in her government.

Her long brown locks are pulled back behind her face, as she flashes an alluring grin that some say makes her the "Mona Lisa of health care." She could be the girl next door, someone you might see in the supermarket. Then again, she might be composite, crafted in Photoshop by a clever graphic artist whose work is already more successful than that of the IT team behind Healthcare.gov.

No one knows.

Her star turn as a cover girl was called the "worst modeling gig ever" on Twitter, where she's even earned a fake account. She's been called "Glitch Girl." And that's the milder stuff.

"Congrats, vapidly smiling http://Healthcare.gov splash page stock photo girl! You're now the most despised face on planet Earth," tweeted David Burge, of the blog IowaHawk.

With frustration mounting at the beleaguered site, it is possible this was one gig no model wants in her portfolio.

"People In Healthcare.gov Stock Photos Now Visibly Panicking," screamed a headline in the satirical newspaper The Onion, with an image of the woman tweaked to make her look extremely nervous.

The website's source code indicates that the image file's name is "Adriana."

"Adriana, I love you," wrote DemocraticUnderground.com. "Please let me in."

She may be in the witness protection program, but she is real, insists Richard Olague, spokesman for the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, which oversees the new programs under the health care reforms.

“The woman featured on the website signed a release for us to use the photo, but to protect her privacy, we will not share her personal or contact info with anyone,” Olague told BuzzFeed in an e-mail.

“Smiling Faces Sometimes”

Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don’t tell the truth uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don’t lie, amen

Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don’t tell the truth, uh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
........

Generally white but with tan enough skin where she could be partially Hispanic, American Indian or Asian. And her ears look just slightly pointy so maybe Vulcan or Elf also (for Trekkies and Tolkien geeks out there :-) ).

And probably quite a bit of Photoshop in her history.

Yup, she had to quit her ObamaCare gig when her health insurance premiums increased 175% and her deductible went from $2500 to $8500 while her hours got cut back to 29 hrs per week

She kinda resembles Valerie Jarrett’s daughter, Laura Jarrett-Balkissoon.

If she hasn't surfaced, she's probably a constructed composite of Caucasian and Hispanic, with just a hint of Asian and black. There may be a girl who served as the main character of the composite, but she likely doesn't look that much like the final image.

That said, I think she's hot.

The one that comes to mind for me is “backstabbers”.

Notice how her hair has been photo shopped to make it look kind of fuzzy and resemble straighten African American hair too?
