Comic Discussion > ALICE GROVE
Alice Grove MCDLT - May 2016
Tova:
I am with PW. There is a subtle but definite touch of pink in there.
It's obviously not pure white. You only need to compare with the top she's wearing to see that.
Pilchard123:
Nah, it's white and gold.

More a sort of tan colour if you ask me...

Very pale skin colour, not pure white, is the point - names are imprecise.
And yes, I can distinguish eyes from the rest of the face - I selected a random spot in the middle of the cheek, in the picture of her beating up Ardent (unfortunately over a third of the archive images don't load, so I couldn't use the one that triggered the discussion).

I'm actually more curious about the color of Gavia's clothing what there is of it. When she was dropped from the Night Walker her underclothes appear to be a dark gray color and when she awakens she appears to be wearing a white tank top and shorts that are a lighter gray color. Perhaps the fabric is affected by the light and looks darker at night or Alice or Senna lent her something while she was unconscious. It may not matter, but after all the discussions about biological functions while comatose it's possible that what she was originally wearing was too stained by failed attempts at feeding and keeping her hydrated so they dressed her in something else.
BenRG:
My guess is that, in the original script, Gavia was meant to be completely naked in that panel because her nanotech was all of her apparel. I suspect that Jeph changed his mind late in the creative process, maybe because he felt that he'd already pushed the envelope far enough with Sedna sleeping topless. He may have also been concerned by the general consensus that Gavia is underage.

There is that and the aspect that leaving her naked would make it on par with a sexual assault. Her ordeal is heavy enough without getting into that territory, but what I'm referring to is her clothing when she was released by the Night Walker is dark gray and yet what she is wearing now is similar, but lighter in color. It could be a decision by Jeph to change the colors without retroactively changing the previous strips, or her undergarments may change colors because it's futuristic technology or Alice or Sedna lent her something else to wear.
It's interesting that you bring up age since it's not firmly established. It might be possible that Ardent and Gavia mature quickly and are only a few years old or they are actually much older than the average baseline human, but youthful because of said augmentation. At the very least Ardent has proven to be sexually active and there doesn't seem to be any taboo with who he slept with so I suppose that's evidence that he is of the age of consent whatever that might be. As we have just seen with Gavia changing her skin color concepts such as race and age may be irrelevant to the space dwellers.
