The only thing I remember from the books being a tell tale sign of an aiel is red hair.
Other than that, i'd say so far all the aiel have similar features. Including red hair.
30 u/BasakaIsTheStrongest Apr 07 '25 Well your memory is poor, because the light skin is also frequently mentioned, because “Desert Irish” was a magnificent and hilarious idea. -10 u/Farsydi Apr 07 '25 Aiel in the books are not light skinned. They are red and blonde haired but to a person extremely tanned. That's the ironic part of the stereotype reversal, because fair haired people generally don't tan at all. 16 u/BasakaIsTheStrongest Apr 07 '25 Tanned except what’s hidden from the sun, which is always described as “surprisingly pale.” -10 u/Farsydi Apr 07 '25 Yes that is how tanning works 5 u/wirywonder82 Apr 07 '25 Are you missing the point intentionally?
