*** Vanyel Ashkevron of the ''Literature/LastHeraldMageTrilogy'', despite being Firesong's ancestor and an even more powerful mage than he is, reflects in ''Magic's Promise'' that he seems to be resistant to bleaching. Each major use of Node-magic gives him more white hairs but it doesn't happen all at once until things get serious in the third book.

* ''Literature/NowhereStars'': Liadain starts the story as an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette, but [[MarkOfTheSupernatural Emergence]] quickly starts changing that as she slowly grows her magic; after defeating her first Harbinger she gains a single white streak in her hair, that multiplies with each Harbinger she defeats. Eventually, it turns completely white. She tries to pass this off as just trying out hair-dye.

* Creator/BrandonSanderson's ''Literature/TheCosmere'' has Hoid, a recurring character across most of the books, in various times and across many planets. He was present at the [[KillTheGod Shattering of Adonalsium]] many thousands of years ago but refused a [[PiecesOfGod Shard]], is nigh-unkillable, and appears to be collecting the powers from as many magic systems as he can. Thankfully he appears to be benevolent, and works with the heroes directly or indirectly in many of his appearances, though he has stated that [[GoodIsNotNice he would let worlds burn if it helped him achieve his as-yet-unknown goals, though not without regret]]. [[WordOfGod Word of Brandon]] is that he was not born with his white hair, and it maybe be related to his one-time holding of a Dawnshard.

* In the ''Literature/AcornaSeries'', the title character has white hair and is a human-unicorn hybrid, with healing and other magical powers through her horn, though the whiteness of her hair stems for her people's tendency to go white after spending large amounts of time in space.
* ''Literature/AkataWitch'': As an albino with the gift of magic, Sunny has white hair and an innate ability to [[DimensionalTraveler shift her body]] between the material and {{Spirit World}}s. Other physical traits are associated with different magical talents.
* Basically every female Elf in ''Literature/AnOutcastInAnotherWorld'' falls into this category. The Elves of The Village almost all have white or silver hair, and Rob notes that they're all attractive no matter what their age is.
* The protagonist of the wuxia novel ''The Bride with White Hair'' by Liang Yusheng. There is TheFilmOfTheBook, too.
* Ramandu's platinum blonde haired daughter from ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'', who is actually ''a star''.
* In the ''Literature/ChroniclesOfTheKencyrath'', white hair is a common but not universal trait of the Shanir -- individuals born touched by the power of the Kencyrath's Three-Faced God, and therefore regarded with suspicion. Notable examples include [[HealingHands Kindrie]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Randiroc]], and [[CharmPerson Adric, Lord Ardeth]], who sensibly dyed his hair brown in his youth to hide his Shanir status.
* The entire Marat race in Jim Butcher's other series, ''Literature/CodexAlera'', tend to have white hair so a lot of them qualify as either this or WhiteHairBlackHeart. [[ActionGirl Kitai]] is the most prominent example, though there are several much less significant female Marat who are also this trope.

** [[UnevenHybrid Helen Blackthorn]] is the daughter of a [[{{Nephilim}} shadowhunter]] and a [[TheFairFolk fairy]]. And like her fairy mother, she has light blonde hair. These are so light blonde that they look almost white.
* ''Literature/TheDeathGateCycle'' has a couple examples:
** The [[WitchSpecies Sartan]] have a slight variation on this -- they're all (with a very few exceptions like [[EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette Balthazar]]) born with white hair, but when they hit puberty it turns dark only at the tips. Their rivals the [[MagicKnight Patryns]] are the opposite -- they're born with dark hair that turns white at the tips at puberty.
** The human wizardess Iridal was originally blonde, but her hair turned white at a young age. When combined with her [[KaleidoscopeEyes constantly changing eyes]] and penchant for [[EtherealWhiteDress white and silver clothing]], it gives her a very ethereal appearance.
* The Moonwoman in ''Literature/{{Deerskin}}'', a goddess or nature spirit, has white hair. Lissar also gains white hair after the Moonwoman heals her and takes her memories away, which makes people think she is not human, or perhaps the Moonwoman herself. Only when this spell is broken and Lissar remembers her past does her hair return to being black.
* ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'': Susan Sto-Helit has this, with one black streak; she's also a MagicalNanny and the granddaughter of [[GrimReaper Death]]. Her mother, Death's adopted daughter, had pure silver hair.
* ''Literature/{{Dragonlance}}'': Silvara has [[MeaningfulAppearance noticeably exotic looks]] for a Kagonesi elf, with her long silver hair and striking IcyBlueEyes. Those are hints about her true nature [[spoiler: as a silver dragon that is [[VoluntaryShapeshifting taking the form of an elf]].]]
* Sapphira Adi in the ''Literature/DragonsinOurMidst'' sequel series ''Oracles of Fire'' has shining white hair and bright blue eyes as a result of her status as an Oracle.
* The Faerie Queens and Ladies in ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' are described as beyond gorgeous and white-haired (although the Winter Lady streaks hers with dye.)
** Tessa, The Host of a Fallen Angel, has white hair in her human form. Though it is not stated that this is because Tessa is a Host to Fallen Angel.
* In ''Literature/TheFolkKeeper'', Corinna has silvery white hair. The hair grows at a rapid pace of two inches per day, and she also possesses a number of other supernatural talents such as requiring hardly any food and always knowing the exact time.
* Sisma, the protagonist of Creator/AndreNorton's ''Forerunner'' and ''Forerunner: The Second Venture'', has dark skin and white hair; she's a reincarnation of an ancient semi-divine being and has powers such as telepathy and the ability to alter other people's minds.
* ''Literature/FoxDemonCultivationManual'': Rong Bai, a nine-tailed fox, has white hair in his true form.
* In ''Literature/TheGoblinEmperor'' white hair is common in elves, and is about the only mystical things about elves in this setting. Goblins tend to have more mundane black hair.
* ''Literature/GodsOfJadeAndShadow'': The PhysicalGod of TheUnderworld, Vucub-Kamé, looks like an ageless, inhumanly beautiful man with pure white hair and IcyGrayEyes. He looks almost exactly like the older brother [[CainAndAbel he maimed and usurped]], whose hair and eyes are utterly black.
* [[TheChosenOne Jenna]], from Jane Yolen's ''Literature/GreatAltaSaga'', has pure white hair and black eyes, a sign of her status as a messianic figure; she is a heroine of legend who is reincarnated every few hundred years, always with white hair from birth.
* Inverted in the first couple volumes of Kat Richardson's ''Greywalker'' series -- Will, the man that main character Harper begins dating in the first book, is young and has striking white hair; but he's practically the most mundane, least magic-touched character in the series. And his inability to believe or cope with magic things comes between him and Harper. [[spoiler:Turns out not to be such an inversion when Will is transformed into a powerful magical guardian. His white hair is the feature singled out in the final vision that Harper has of him after the transformation.]]
* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': The Veela are an InhumanlyBeautifulRace of [[OneGenderRace women]] with white-gold hair, lustrous white skin, and a {{Glamour}} that can charm and overwhelm most men. Their hair has enough innate power to be used in the cores of {{Magic Wand}}s.
* Kiki in the ''Literature/KikiStrike'' series. It wasn't really much of a plot point, but it was used to show how unusual she was.
* In ''Literature/KushielsLegacy'', Alcuin is a PrettyBoy with pale skin and silver-white hair. While there's nothing supernatural about it, his "otherworldly" beauty makes him very successful during his brief tenure as a [[HighClassCallGirl courtesan]] and distracts people from his exceptionally keen mind -- which he usually uses to collect information on the local elite.
* Creator/MercedesLackey:
** In the Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar books, using Adept-level [[PlaceOfPower node magic]] bleaches one's hair [[EyeColourChange and eyes]], so any young Adepts eventually become examples of this trope. All [[MagicalNativeAmerican Tayledras]] gain bleached hair as well, due to living in [[HiddenElfVillage Vales]] with Heartstones producing so much magic around them, but mages among them gain it faster; Firesong, one of the most powerful characters in the series, had his hair turn white completely by the time he was ten. The [[BondCreatures Companions]] are all pure white, blue-eyed {{Sapient Steed}}s, and eventually reveal that this is because they use nodes as well, to fuel their incredible speed and endurance.
** In ''Literature/TheBlackSwan'', Odile von Rothbart has white hair. She suspects her mage father may have changed its color.
* ''Literature/TheLastUnicorn'''s Lady Amalthea has white hair, which makes sense, given that she's actually a unicorn that was turned into a human.
* Morgaine in Creator/CJCherryh's ''Literature/MorgaineCycle'' is white-haired and beautiful due to belonging to a half-blooded ancient race.
* ''Literature/TheNeverendingStory'': The white-haired Childlike Empress is the immortal ruler of Phantastica, the realm of human imagination.
* Nyarko (an eldritch being) from ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' has silver hair in her human form.
* In Creator/AnneMcCaffrey's ''[[Literature/TowerAndTheHive The Rowan]]'', the title character has white hair, which is also inherited by her descendants of both sexes as a white streak.
* ''Literature/TheScholomance'': Orion Lake, KidHero of the titular WizardingSchool, has unique silver-white hair and a special magical affinity that makes him a hugely effective monster-slayer.
* Daenerys Targaryen of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. Targaryens tend to have silver-blond hair as well as violet eyes due to their Valyrian blood, which has been maintained through the centuries with [[BrotherSisterIncest massive inbreeding]]. They were also TheBeautifulElite, and their rise and fall was closely associated with their control over dragons, which is ambiguously tied to the power of magic in the world.

One [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Staryk child]] inherited both the hair and a tiny fragment of their [[AnIcePerson power over cold]].
* In ''Literature/TheStand'', Nadine's hair [[LockedIntoStrangeness supernaturally turns white]] due to contact with Randall Flagg.
* Yvaine from ''Literature/{{Stardust}}'' is white-haired and is a living Star.
%% * The Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse has a few white haired characters: Winter Celchu, Leia's aide (first appearance in Creator/TimothyZahn's [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Thrawn trilogy]], though she also featured in the ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'' comics), Brianna, the Last Handmaiden, and Atris, the Jedi historian (from ''VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublicIITheSithLords''). They seem mature, though not yet old.
%% ** Though white hair and silver eyes are the most common hair/eye colors among the Echani.
%% ** In Winter's case it's definitely not a sign of age: she's canonically established as having white hair [[Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy at the age of 17]] and an [[Literature/StarWarsTales ambiguously canon]] comic shows her with it as a child.
* Winter from ''[[Literature/LevenThumps Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo]]'' is from Foo and thus has ice powers even as a human.
* Ash March in ''Literature/SwordOfShadows'' has very pale blonde hair, putting her right between this and hair of gold, depending on the lighting. She's also [[BarrierMaiden the Reach]], the one human in a thousand years who can release [[OmnicidalManiac the Endlords]] from their prison, and has various abilities related to that theme.
* Eyeshimmer from ''Literature/TailchasersSong'' is a white-furred [[{{Seer}} far-senser]] with mystical powers. He also has OccultBlueEyes.
* ''Literature/TalesFromNetheredge'': The mage Myr of the North has it, setting off some alarms that he may not be as human as he tries to appear. [[spoiler:He's [[HalfHumanHybrid part human]], part [[TheFairFolk fey]].]]
* Oswin, the White Prince in ''Literature/TerraMirumChronicles''. Alys's first hint that he isn't human is his white hair.
* ''Literature/TheTwistedOnes'': The [[TheFairFolk Fair Folk]]-like "White People" live in an EldritchLocation only loosely connected to the human world and have hair that's "not so much white as completely colorless, like mist". [[spoiler:The ones seen are revealed to be part-human changelings who've been abducted into the otherworld, so it might overlap with ClaimedByTheSupernatural.]]
* In the paranormal romance ''Wake Me Up Inside'', Jonah is the child of a wolf-shifter and a human, which ought to be impossible due to the incompatibility of the two species. He is either a human with white-blond hair and black eyes or a white, black-eyed wolf. That odd mix of colors isn't the only unusual thing about him either; for example, he's the "true mate" of an extraordinarily powerful wolf, and the two of them survive being separated for longer than mates usually ever can.

* Daenerys Targaryen of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. Targaryens tend to have silver-blond hair as well as violet eyes due to their Valyrian blood, which has been maintained through the centuries with [[BrotherSisterIncest massive inbreeding]]. They were also TheBeautifulElite, and their rise and fall was closely associated with their control over dragons, which is ambiguously tied to the power of magic in the world.
* ''Literature/SpinningSilver'': The Staryk [[TheFairFolk Fair Folk]] are powerfully magical and have silver-white hair, in keeping with their overall association with winter. One [[HalfHumanHybrid half-Staryk child]] inherited both the hair and a tiny fragment of their [[AnIcePerson power over cold]].

They seem mature, though not yet old.
%% ** Though white hair and silver eyes are the most common hair/eye colors among the Echani.
%% ** In Winter's case it's definitely not a sign of age: she's canonically established as having white hair [[Literature/TheHanSoloTrilogy at the age of 17]] and an [[Literature/StarWarsTales ambiguously canon]] comic shows her with it as a child.
* Winter from ''[[Literature/LevenThumps Leven Thumps and the Gateway to Foo]]'' is from Foo and thus has ice powers even as a human.
* Ash March in ''Literature/SwordOfShadows'' has very pale blonde hair, putting her right between this and hair of gold, depending on the lighting.

* ''Literature/TheTwistedOnes'': The [[TheFairFolk Fair Folk]]-like "White People" live in an EldritchLocation only loosely connected to the human world and have hair that's "not so much white as completely colorless, like mist". [[spoiler:The ones seen are revealed to be part-human changelings who've been abducted into the otherworld, so it might overlap with ClaimedByTheSupernatural.]]
* In the paranormal romance ''Wake Me Up Inside'', Jonah is the child of a wolf-shifter and a human, which ought to be impossible due to the incompatibility of the two species. He is either a human with white-blond hair and black eyes or a white, black-eyed wolf. That odd mix of colors isn't the only unusual thing about him either; for example, he's the "true mate" of an extraordinarily powerful wolf, and the two of them survive being separated for longer than mates usually ever can.

* Asha, the title character of the ''Literature/TheWishingMaiden'', possibly because she is at least a century old.
