Angel Eyes Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I'm a bit confused here. Ashara Dayne is mentioned as having dark hair. But then, she's mentioned as looking like Daenerys, who has silver hair. So which was her real hair color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes when the queen looked at him, he felt as if he were looking at Ashara's daughter … It's Daenerys's eyes that remind him of Ashara, not her hair.

Megorova Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Ashara's hair was dark brown. Majority of people in Dorne has that hair color, inherited from their Rhoynar ancestors. Though seems that Daynes had both types - dark-haired like Ashara and light-haired like Edric. Based on coloring of Egg and his brothers, seems that their mother Dyanna Dayne had pale brown hair, same as Daeron, and three of her other sons had silver-gold hair. I think that Arthur Dayne was blond, while his parents were carriers of both types of alleles - brown and blond colors. Dyanna and Ashara also were carrier of both types of alleles, thus some of their children had dark hair (like Daeron Targaryen, Meera and Jojen), and some had light/blond (like Egg, Aerion, Aemon, and Edric Dayne (that's if Jyana Reed is Ashara Dayne, and Edric is her son.)) Gerold Dayne has two-colored hair - silver hair, divided by a streak of midnight black. Probably he got silver hair from his Dayne genes, and black from his non-Dayne parent.

Lady Jowana Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Her hair was black, like Jon's, this was probably one of the reasons Cat suspected that she might be his mother. 6 hours ago, Angel Eyes said: she's mentioned as looking like Daenerys, who has silver hair. Well according to Ser Barristan, Ashara had violet eyes and was renowned for her beauty, just like Dany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon is described to have dark brown hair, basically black, which was a Stark feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of Oldstones Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 visiting Ashara page on ASOIAF wiki will do the job it’s dark maybe dark brown or black.Since some blond Daynes seem to have black streaks i think it’s black.Not that her hair color matters anyways.I don’t understand why people bother opening a thread instead searching or looking in wiki.Small questions are where questions like these are asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. yeah this is probably it and this is what I always thought too. The author seems to like pretty girls with long dark flowing hair. I would never fit in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
