Re: Does your mental image of characters ever stubbornly refuse to match their description?

Nancy (I think her name was Nancy) and Hannah (Karen's friends) from the BSC Little Sister books are the example I remember clearly. Hannah had red hair and Nancy had black hair, but I always pictured the opposite no matter how many times I read Karen's description of them.

I feel less embarrassed now that mine is also BSC. One of the little boys they regularly sat for (Jamie?) was solidly black in my head, even though he was never described as such and the books would have made a big freakin' deal of it if he was.

There was a fantasy series I read some years ago which included a character whose descriptions made me picture her as looking Middle Eastern, but when she and several other characters got transported to 19th-century Colorado it was clear that the author intended her to look African. My mental image staunchly refused to change.
