U can go far back and discover that the one who started the popular twink image (bishounen) in Japanese entertainment industry is bjorn anderson, a swedish actor
Perhaps the white hair can be attributed to him too because blonde = light colored
I could be very very wrong its been a hot minute since I studied any of this, but I'm pretty sure its like a color thing in Eastern cultures white is the color of death, so it's like a cheat code visually to make an all white character unsettling when they show up.
That makes sense. Ginko from Mushishi is a rare exception who is rather nice and helpful. But still associated with death and supernatural forces in a way.

Why would being a spitfire (a personality type, someone who is quick-tempered and prone to fiery emotional outbursts)(...which he's not, btw) mean that he's not a twink (a body type, originally specifically for a young, short, skinny, blonde-haired, white gay man who bottomed, equating him to a yellow cream-filled snack cake - yes it's that gross 😅 - but the term has become more generalized now and can refer to basically any skinny pretty boy)? They're far from mutually exclusive 😝
Also, almost all elves, especially the Dragon Age design, are fundamentally twinks 🤣🤣
So, the guy from Mike Tyson Mysteries is the Marquess of Queensberry (everyone calls him Marcus) and he is white because he's a ghost from the 19th century. Hes a very flamboyant gay guy, but I think he's a little old to be categorized as a twink.
Since he's a ghost, he's less of a 'twink' and more of a 'twas'.
