More recently I have come to wonder whether Venus was actually intended to be a heavily reimagined version of April. Both characters are actually named after Aphrodite.
 * The name April is from Latin Aprīlis, which was derived from Etruscan Apru, which was adapted from Greek Ἀφροδίτη, Aphrodī́tē.
 * The original Venus de Milo statue unearthed on the Greek island of Milos is actually a statue of Aphrodite, but there's a long tradition in the Roman and Romance-speaking world of referring to Greek gods by the names of similar Roman gods, and Aphrodite is called Venus.
