Considering that it’s a comic that might be true but sometimes a kid can be dark with light skinned parents. This is speaking from experience on how my younger sister is the only dark skinned sibling I have when the rest of us are pale (I have a ton of siblings). Besides Brandon transforms and he said before that Olivia married someone “without a face”. He could’ve said that because that what he feels like or he could be saying that because the form he uses is just what he’s comfortable with and not what he was born with. So Brandon’s family could be dark skinned.
Oops I wrote that wrong. I meant to say “Aside from that I think you’re right BECAUSE (not besides) Brandon transforms and…”. I guess I only imagined wring that. Anyway either your right and he is using a separate appearance which is the most likely since it’s a comic or the first part of what I wrote is right and genetics just decided to be weird like with my sister.
I believe it's because he's a knight, and they usually train in the sun. I think his skin is tanned and not him being a dark skinned character.
Olivia and Brandon's child is brown so something ain't right on there...it goes to show its not really brandon's true appearance(⊙…⊙ )
