“Truths and roses have thorns about them.”
There are whole elements of the story based on her getting in fights over her red hair.

Trying to die it.

WTF are they thinking?

Don't worry ladies, tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it wink.gif

Just wrong. There should be laws protecting the original content and concepts of stories of old.
