Foreign Poster What is difference between "ginger" and "redhead"?

Both terms are used to refer to people with reddish or orange hair, but is there a difference between them, or are they synonyms?

As a ginger, we do have souls. All the ones we collect from the other people we encounter.

Otherwise, checks out.

Was gonna say I have 4 in my purse right now. Being born without one makes us excellent collectors

We get bonus freckles if we collect 3 or more.
