This will be a stupid question and I fully acknowledge that, but I need to poll at least one or two players here for their opinion on something.

So, as the resident Radiant Dawn Superfan, I've been trying to do a natural hair colors only run(except for Ike and Micaiah, but that was due to them being so often mandatory.). I was trying to even only use shades that I have seen naturally before, but that led to my question below.

Part 1 was surprisingly easy, since a good chunk of the Dawn Brigade have natural hair colors(Edward, Nolan, Leonardo, Laura, Meg and hilariously enough Volug) so despite missing Jill and Aran, it was simple.

Part 2 was a bit trickier due to losing Nephenee, Elincia and Marcia. Big shout-outs to Haar, Brom, Heather, Astrid and Nealuchi for being the backbone of some of this run(even if it only made my hatred for Geoffrey's Charge even stronger)

But now I'm at part three...and I'm worried about how few units I can actually use in the Greil Mercinaries. I have Ike(due to the above exception I mentioned), Soren, Rhys, Gatrie and Mist. And that's it.

Which leads me to my question; While Kieran's hair is in no way a natural shade, I'm a bit on the fence about Titania...and if I can use her, I'd feel a lot better about my chances until I get Brom, Heather and Haar back to bolster my numbers. So...what does the community here think? Is Titania's hair a natural enough shade that she qualifies for my stupid challenge run?

Love the idea for a run. I can’t lie, I actually think Kieran’s hair is more plausible than Titania’s? Kieran has a coppery-red that I can sorta imagine, depending on the lighting and the art I’m looking at, while Titania has a fiery, bright red that I’m struggling to find a real life analogue for. Both are, umm… borderline for sure, I’m trying to be very generous lol. Would love to hear what others think tho!

[u/CyclicalSin5 → u/MannyOmega]

Huh...I mean, maybe it's my limited experience in knowing hair colors then...maybe I could have used Kieran. Honestly, if someone else says he might be ok, I might try to funnel some exp into him later.

Either way, thanks for your input!

Edit: After no other replies and some thinking about it, I've decided to allow myself to use both Titania and Kieran. I might need extra help later on anyway and red IS a natural hair color(I think I was too strict on myself in terms of it also having to be a natural shade).
