Come from a family of gingers-turned: all of my older brothers, mother, and father had bright red hair that started darkening when they were six or so – not even babies. Mine didn’t. My eldest brother’s hair is probably darker than August’s. As people have said before, it does happen (and in my experience, happens more times than not).
My issue is the eye color – Eion Bailey has some very lovely, blue eyes that stand-out. I’m sure little Snow just spoiled me, but couldn’t Jakob had worn contacts? August couldn’t have because then we would have dark hair, brown eyes – ‘do I even look like him?’ – Kind of!
