I Know Literally NO ONE Asked But Here’s A Hot Take: Lief From Deltora Quest Is Definitely Not White.
I know literally NO ONE asked but here’s a hot take: Lief from Deltora Quest is definitely not white. His actual appearance is never fully described in the books, but we know that Jasmine has brown skin and dark, curly hair. In order for the conclusion of the book to make any sense, we know that Jasmine and Lief probably look fairly similar, at least superficially. Jasmine’s tanned skin could be attributed to the fact that she’s lived in the wilderness her entire life, but somehow I doubt that the Forests of Silence get high sun-exposure, so I find it much more likely that that is her natural (or nearly natural) skin-tone.
Given this information and knowing Lief’s heritage, I think it’s reasonable to assume that members of the Del tribe likely have a darker skin-tone. You know what that means? Since Barda is also native to Del, none of the three main character of the series have light skin.
Anyways, this has been a completely uncalled for (but in my opinion necessary) PSA.
