double take

Technically this would have been her original skin tone, given that her parents are that skin tone, but she was made black at birth because of the spirit king of darkness. So it kind of makes sense that her skin tone would change , I just think it would have been better it if we're a mix between the two skin tones

fair point but,,, we've already seen her,,, with dark-skin,,, so,,, that's like invalid,,, because we've gotten accustomed to seeing her with dark-skin,,, her being her 'natural' skin tone would have been okay if she was it for the entirety of the chapters we've read,,, but she's not,,, so,,,

That means from the start it was a bad idea that she turned black because if the black spirit....that's messed up.

Mhmm. We know that "black = bad" "white = good" is used a lot for implying and foreshadowing etc etc but I think if this is the path they were going to take, they could have definitely cut out the dark skin > white skin all together.

What I mean is, there are quite a few blonde characters with light eyes. If she were to have black eyes and black hair to differentiate herself, that would have had the same effect. And, then during the blessing, instead of changing her skin they could have just simply changed her eye colour.

Of course it would be a huge loss on our part (since there are so little tan female mcs) but its better than "woohoo lets turn the tan girl white for plot!!"

Again technically not their idea. The tanned skin and black hair are hated because the former ruler of the darkness spirit destroyed the kingdom, with good reason ofc but you get my point. It is not her physical traits they hate but the extreme power. But doesn't stop them from being idiots hahahahah

They still could have left the whole tan skin deal out of it. Maybe replaced it with some sort of symbol on the skin to show that whole thing, whatever.
