Okay so I had red hair... so shoot me :p
It's a bit of a touchy subject actually. Although i wasn't copper red but tending more towards the mahogany it was definitely positively and certainly red. As none of the people in the village had red hair I was teased mercilessly for it, and for my pale skin. They called me names and were mean *pout*
On the other hand it never seemed to bother you lot
