I dunno. I would think by now either she or a copy editor or one of her much-beleaguered assistants would have drawn up at least spreadsheet that gives basic character attributes: height, weight, hair color, eye color, sexuality (beyond: F8&CS everything), personality quirks.
I mean, for gods sake, hire a passing gamer. They will do it for you! They might even use D&D character sheets to get started!
Normally, an author of a well established series keeps track of all this stuff because they have their own notes. But we all know that LKH is apparently too awesomewrites too organically. Ah its hard to keep notes when you just make it up as you go along.
..all that aside, aren't her characters living beings to her, like family? Maybe thats the problem. here. I wonder if she forgets what her daughter looks like too?
