I have white hairs. As in not-just-one, but many. At first I thought they were just very, very blonde hairs, as I have several of those on my head, but when I looked closer at them, they lacked the translucency of truly blonde hairs, and when I asked Rose Red to take a look, she confirmed that they are, indeed, white.

As far as I can tell, they're only to be found at my left temple, and since they're short and few in number, they aren't really noticeable. But my dad and his sisters went grey in their 30s, and so now I'm wondering if I'll be greying early as well. It's not so awful, since my dad's hair is a beautiful shade of silver, and such a color should blend well with the ashy tones of my hair, but it's still very, very peculiar to think that I might soon resemble some of my own fantasy novel characters. As if I'm not already Mary-Sue enough....
