Herald of Steel

As Alexander named his current youngest daughter, Ophenia, he also noticed that she had inherited her mother's natural blonde hair.

Though currently they were only thin, wisps whose color would seemingly change from blonde to brown to even black depending on the intensity of the light and viewing angle, Alexander knew they would become much more prominent as the little girl grew up.

And it was of course something that had not escaped her mother's notice, which she quickly brought up to Alexander.

"Master, should I dye her hair?" She had asked a bit fearfully, worried of all the possible consequences.

And Alexander did think about doing exactly that.

But then came to the conclusion that although there was indeed a bit of danger to it, the chances of anything happening were very, very small.
