In the anime universe, a character’s appearance plays a huge role in defining their personality. This is why mangakas and illustrators pay the utmost attention to the tiniest details while creating a certain character. While many things have come to define a character, hair is noted to be the primary factor, and especially those with white hair are said to have the most intriguing personalities.
