Inspired by the upcoming Jason novel I’ve started a little something. However I can’t bear the thought of dragging myself through the books again to find some things. They aren’t massively important things but I thought you might remember. Can anyone tell me what Jason, Asher, Nathaniel and Richard look like?

 

I tried looking it up and found a massive Anita Blake site. But then I noticed they’d used some of the beautiful Castlevania artwork by Ayami Kojima for the layout and ran off crying. My poor babies T__T

Random Person of Color wtfing.

A natural tan because of what?

A tan comes from the sun!

Pigmentation comes from your genes.

What's so wrong in saying 'Richard had someone who was not white somewhere in his family tree, and it showed.'

And then you say his skin was golden, or golden brown or prone to bronzing instead of going red or wtf ever.

I'm now trying to remember if there was ever anyone black in her books outside of GP.

Yeah, she's had plenty of black people show up through the books. Never romantic interests though.

I think Richard having someone "not white" in his family tree for the skin pigmentation was like Anita having a "Mexican" mother and get the black hair. This way LKH can make it look like she's racial friendly characters, but make them still be "white people."

*head tilts at own post* Ok, I don't think that makes much sense. Need to learn not to type when tired.

I think LKH was trying to use Anita's "Mexican" hair and Richard's "Not-white" skin pigment to make it appear that she doesn't have a racial bias.

Understood what you meant. I too have the foggy brain.

Jamil, who was there only to be a macho asshole and get smacked down by Anita. Also Vivian, who was horribly brutalized and raped, got rescued by Anita, and then vanished.

And not black but a minority, there's also Shang-Da, a badass werewolf with killer fashion sense who is nonetheless invisible on Anita's sex radar.

I'm pretty sure the only nonwhite who ever pinged Anita's guydar was Bernardo, and he of course was Bad News and so never really a threat. Ahem.

*shrug* That's the way Anita likes to put it - I'd agree with the others it just to show inclusion.
