* In the novel ''Sharra's Exile'', there is a part when Lew Alton goes into the Hali chapel searching for the Sword of Aldones. While he is there, he sees a woman - he doesn't know if it is the corpse of an actual person or merely something like a wax figure - with long red hair. He also notices something odd - the woman appears dead (and "as if she had been dead for many years"), but seems to be breathing somehow. Well, at the end of the book "Stormqueen!" set hundreds of years before these events, the red-haired character Dorilys was laid to rest (though she was still technically alive) in that very same chapel, so that her powers wouldn't be a danger to anyone anymore. It was not until I reread "Stormqueen!" after reading "Sharra's Exile" that I realized that ''the woman/corpse/figure Lew saw was Dorilys''. -JoThirteen

!! The Winds of Darkover
* In ''The Winds of Darkover'', Kermiac Alderan calls out Dan Barron, who is posing as the heir to Storn, as an imposter. He says Barron doesn't look like a Storn, as Storn men have red hair and gray eyes. Melitta Storn quickly intervenes to protect Barron, by saying that her legitimate older brother is blind and therefore unable to inherit. (The first part is true; the second is not.) Therefore, she lies, Barron, the ''nedestro'' (bastard) son of the late Lord Storn, will inherit in his place and is indeed a Storn. Aldaran accepts this, partly because Melitta herself looks like a Storn, with red hair and gray eyes. The problem is, Melitta's explanation really explains nothing. An illegitimate son has just as great a chance of looking like his father as do his legitimate sibs. By Aldaran's logic, Barron should still have looked like a Storn! Melitta (or Barron) would have been better off simply saying that Barron looked like his mother.
