The truth about Fitz
Bones:
I seem to be terrible with hair colors. I always thought Butters had reddish hair when he was introduced. And Morgan had auburn hair mixed in with the gray. So I can't be relied upon to remember most characters' hair color unless it's mentioned several times. Murphy's a blond, right? ;)
Another source of the Native-American coloring could be Listens To Wind, though.
As for MacFinn and the hair color being a strong hint, I still think Tera West's coloring and eye description plus the fact that MacFinn was Irish might be enough to cover Fitz's description. MacFinn's description doesn't really lend itself to any real specifics except the green eyes, I think.

My point is that, from my admittedly limited discussions with some of those people, contemporary Asatru do not have it as a core component of their faith that other gods are false, while other gods being a priori false is a regular component of at least such bits of contemporary Christianity as i am familiar with. (I had a Catholic schooling.)
Therefore, what Jim is doing in the DV is a fictional universe in which we have, thus far, seen one of the core cosmological axioms of Christianity been demonstrated to be untrue, and we have not seen anything similar with regard to the Aesir.

Well, all depends on which particular branch of Christianity you're talking about. Get gnostic enough and just about anything's possible. Beyond that though, there's a difference between "false gods" in the sense of "gods who exist, but are not God" vs. "false gods who do not exist." It's certainly possible to read the Bible as stating that other gods exist, you're just not supposed to worship them, because they aren't the one true overarching universal Capital-G God.

I found another candidate who had a dark complexion...
The first woman we'd seen enter the apartment faced me. She had a dark complexion, dark eyes, short, dark straight hair that made me think she might have had some Native Americans in the family a generation or three back. She was maybe five foot four, late thirties. She had a serious kind of face, with faint pensive lines between her brows, and from the way she stood, blocking the doorway with solidly planted feet, I got the impression that she could be a bulldog when necessary. "No one here has broken any of the Laws, Warden," she said in a quiet voice. "Gosh, that's a relief," I said. "Anna Ash?"
Anna was a member of the Ordo Lebes who had hired Elaine to protect them from the killer in White Night. She later was found dead, killed by "Priscilla" or the Skavis white vampire. One thing that seems to eliminate her as a candidate though is that Elaine says "Some of them didn't have any dependents. Like Anna." She states this in response to Harry informing her that he had gotten reparations out of the White Court. A were gild for their dependents." Harry and Elaine then use reparations for Anna to build the Paranet.

This is typically a subject where you can not really expect outright answers because other answers are a lot more fun and outright answers make it a lot more serious. But I think her reaction quite convincing.
Besides I have read WOJ somewhere when asked if Gard was with Hendriks he answered that Hendriks was with Gard.

Or maybe he can't change and that's why Tera had to drop him off in human society. Maybe she had him taken to Chicago in hopes that Dreden or one of his allies would find him.
