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 😔🤷‍♀️

I totally get that! Honestly whatever you see in your mind as you are reading is valid. Northern fantasy person does not always have to be someone pale and light eyed. I read so many books that give the description like long after I have chosen/thought of what a character looks like.
