one of the cons listening to books in audio is that sometimes your mind might skip through important, such as appearances, so I would use their name to visualise them. Now after reading by the book, it gives a whole different outlook. A LOT. I never knew Lysander wasn't blond?! (OK, that seemed stupid. I knew he was African - but hey, Lysander just gives chill vibes and blond just fit at that time. Now my mind got used it.)
Sometimes, I could be spot-on like for Emma and Amy since Amy and Emma's the type of name that gives blue eyes and blonde hair, same with Charlie.
Sometimes characters have minor changes like for Tancred. I thought he had black hair with a streak of blond or a gradient of blond, no, he's actually just blond.
BUT, on the occasion - I'll give Lyell and Mr. Pilgrim as an example for this one - even though they both are the same person, I would give them different appearances. Mr. Pilgrim just seemed kinda edgy (that was not the word I was going for, but 'kay) so dark brown hair and dark eyes...Lyell, on the other hand, I would straight up give him light caramel blond hair and grey eyes. I'm still adjusting/trying to make Lyell look like Mr. Pilgrim in my mind.
Now, the one that hit the most and is the most difficult to adapt to was Dagbert. I thought he was messy light sea blond type of guy, but it's brown hair with a tint of sea-green. After going to the wiki and tumblr multiple times, it just felt quite odd. Argh. My brain just cannot process him being brown-haired. (As much I want to fire my brain - I can't live without it.)
Ok, now some characters won't get affect since I can't get a grasp on how they look and I really can't find stuff in the wiki or in fanarts to describe her. Same with Cook actually - but in the wiki, it is said that she had dark, greying hair. But my mind here just can't get a grasp.
Guys, I think I like blondes. :D
