The picture doesn't particularly focus on her hair, the colour is more of a mid-tone grey, and... well, the whole thing isn't exactly NSFW, but it's a tad more revealing than is strictly necessary. I see room for improvement here.

Suggestions?

If we stuck with the same character, it'd pretty much have to be a head shot; her outfits are uniformly Stripperiffic (no pun intended).

Just sayin' that we don't have to stick with the same character. There's quite a few examples out there.

Exhibit A: Shiro from Deadman Wonderland (not a suggested page image due to the prominent speech bubbles).

Second one is better. First is way too green.

The second pic is definitely better.

So far I like Storm and Soma the best.

I don't like Shiro. Nudism aside, her skin tone provide like of contrast with her hair. The other girls have all more colorful clothes, which helps showing the white hair.

Seems we've got a good number of options as of now. Once we get a few more perhaps, we could start an early crowner.

[up][up]I was only using her as an illustrative example. You know, 'first one that comes to mind'.

Oh, and I know it does't really matter in an Image Pickin' contest (where we want good-looking pictures), but for the record, she's fully clothed - her outfit just happens to be a red-and-white bodysuit.

I'm not really crazy about Shiro. Iaculus posted several decent options, especially the first pic.

How about Ice from the Justice League? Hair's consistently snow-white, and she's pretty.

I page description says the trope is associated with magic and mystery. I'm not seeing that in the images.

[up] This. We need to find another requirement, otherwise it's going to be people cramming a ton of images and deciding arbitrarily which one is prettier.

[up] Don't know about Micaiah (the current leader)

Storm is obviously a Mutant- has power over the weather.

Tessa is a "Whispered" (telepathy with other whispered and mystical access to advanced scientific knowledge) and a captain at a far too young age.

Don't know most of the others.

Edit: Oh wait... you mean in the picture...

[up] Yes, in the picture. The current leader doesn't show the trope.

If magic need be involved, would this be any better?

Though really, it doesn't need to be. Just a youthful girl with white hair.

[up] Her hair is too pink in that one. She's also not really spiritual and mysterious in it. White-Haired Pretty Boy doesn't have a personality associated with it, but this one says it does. We should show that personality in the image.

At any rate, I think the image that's leading now works fine. Like I said, this is a visual trope; what matters is that we show an apparent white-haired pretty girl. The magical thing is said in the trope's description to be a possibility, not a requirement. It's not necessary that we show it.
