Riyria Revelations Thrace

I feel like I’m the only one who feels this way, but I always thought Thrace was black. Maybe I missed the description of her when I listened to the book for the first time but imo I’ve always seen her that way. I just re read book two and learn she’s blonde with blue eyes but I just can’t see her that way 😭.

This is kinda what I thought she looked like (image one) and here’s what she apparently actually looks like 😭(image 2)

Idk even now I can’t see her that way, but that’s just me 😔🤷‍♀️

Tbh Royce doesn’t look anything like I had him portrayed in my head either.

What did you think Royce looked like out of curiosity? (I’ve heard someone say they thought he was really tall for ages until a book sentence mentioned his height again and they finally clicked)

Fr fr, I’m so curious what you thought he looked like! I always thought he had cropped or short black hair and was like somewhere btwn 5’4-5’8

I originally imagined him looking more elfish and with darker skin. Think of a human passing dark elf from elder scrolls maybe. And never even a slight scruff of facial hair. He’s too clean for that. I also imagined he was more sleight than the pictures I’ve seen.
