In [[Real Life]], white hair indicates either age, bleach, or albinism. Not so in fiction, where white hair can occur naturally on women of any age. For a given value of "natural", that is: white locks tend to mark their owner as special in some way. Maybe her hair is indicative of some spiritual (or outright magical) qualities, or maybe it's a hint of a nonhuman background. At the most mundane, it suggests [[Wise Beyond Their Years|wisdom beyond her years]]. It is a common mark of a [[Mysterious Waif]]. |
