So you're now trying to say that the quote means "she has a white perspective" or "she has a white appearance but not white skin"? 

 

2 other people taught you the obvious meaning of the word. Don't try to cover your mistake by now going in a dictionary to choose any secondary meaning with no relation to the sentence.

 

And you even dare to be condescending... No no, go ahead, it's so much better than to admit that you made a mistake. Keep digging! 

Circular logic ain't going to work on me, but go ahead and ignore the fact the quote is not even real. Ignore the fact I ga ve you the actual real quote. That's how people not learn and you're doing great at it.

So, "let me break it down"...

I assume people are quoting this?

From Sword of Destiny page 416. “She had fair hair, ashen white complexion and large impetuous green eyes”

Let me break it down for those people to understand:

"fair hair - ashen white complexion" and "Impetuous green eyes". So where does it say anything about being white?

in other versions (Gollancz, with the cover illustration made by Alejandro Colucci) this quote is 'She had fair, mousy hair and huge glaringly green eyes.' English audiobook has the same exact quote 'She had fair hair, mouse-gray, and large impetuous eyes'.

You never say "this isn't the actual quote", you just talk about "other versions", and you even quote yourself the book Sword of Destiny, page 416.

And then, you say "let me break it down, fair hair and ashen white complexion, so where does it say anything about being white?". This right here shows that you don't understand the word complexion. Nothing about "it's not the actual quote", just "you guys don't understand the sentence, let me explain is to you", before failing in your explanation.

It's nice to try to accuse others by saying "I didn't say that, learn" and trying to change what you said with each new comment, but it's not that hard to check your original comment, you know? You should try to learn how to remember what you said, and to accept that you did a mistake instead of digging deeper and deeper.
