6 | * '''Downplayed''': |
7 | ** The dirty-blond hair of the [[TheHeart sweet]], [[NaiveNewcomer naïve team newbie]] (who's nonetheless a [[RoundedCharacter complex]] and {{dynamic|Character}} major character) only particularly stands out because the rest of the central cast are dark-haired and/or shaved head. |

26 | ** Alice has blond hair but she frequently switches from being nice to being mean and vice versa. |
