Something similar applies to Emi from IWATDP.
Since her fluency is "supernatural" in nature, her speech patterns tend to be what most of her listeners expect, unless she's going deliberately for a specific regional/cultural accent.
As far as most of her listeners in Tokyo-3 are concerned, she learned surprisingly good Japanese from pre-second impact anime tomboys.
I believe that, should she speak French, she would sound like an educated Quebecois... et cetera...
But then, I am intentionally trying to pick up a Kansai accent in my slow study of Japanese myself...
