Most of us have copper hair, of similar pigment to the first light of day. You know, like the kind of sunrise bursting with radiant streams of orange and speckled with red. Well, that is what we are known for. Our hair sets us apart in this land; it defines our place in the realm. Our purpose is to make the decisions for the kingdom. We are med for this responsibility from the time our first soft tuft of hair is present. I am not certain how this came to pass, but copper hair signifies sagacity and who am I to question the authority of the realm?

Never in all my moons had I seen such fascinating hair and I could not place what realm she originated from.
