People of Hair Color: Difference between revisions

** Xingese are all shown to have black hair and black/grey eyes, while those with Xerxes blood have blonde hair and gold eyes.

* Played with in ''[[Kemono no Souja Erin]]''. There is a tribe called the Mist People, with green eyes and green hair. Unfortunately, they are associated with black magic. Interestingly, their unusual hair color is actually never brought up and it is their eyes that function as a stigma. Also Je, the First Shin Oh of Ryoza, and her people were known for their golden eyes and blond hair.

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* In [[Andre Norton]]'s ''[[Witch World]]'', the Old Race of Estcarp (and formerly also of Karsten) are uniformly black-haired and pale skinned; their allies, the sea-going Sulcar, are blond. The people of High Hallack across the sea, whose ancestors came through a [[Cool Gate]], are pale-skinned but usually have brown or blond hair, occasionally with a reddish tint.

* In Joy Chant's ''Red Moon Black Mountain'', the races are divided by appearance, including an [[Planet of Hats|entire race]] of [[Dumb Blonde]]s.

* Jennifer Robertson's ''Sword Dancer'' books have the sun-baked, semi-nomadic Southron race who live in the desert and the blond, fair-skinned Northerners who live in the mountains. Later, she expanded it to include a sort of dark-Caucasian islander race.

* In [[Robert E. Howard]]'s ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' universe, the barbarians of the north are divided into the Aesir, who are blond, the Vanir, who have red hair, and the Cimmerians, who have dark hair. Howard had a whole essay on the various human races of Hyboria and how they got to be where they are in the story in question, "[http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Hyborian_Age The Hyborian Age]". The racial descriptions given there are characterized by the very best racial science of his day.
