For the 'pure' white hair, go with the 3rd.

Part of the 'problem' you might be running into with her, is that it looks like she's painted to be a red-head.

What, because her eyebrows are light brown?

Yup. I'm betting if you stick a normal looking wig with red undertones on her, she'll look fabulous!

To be able to pull off the 'pure white' look, you need to go with a more neutral color. It's going to sound weird but, white, black or grey tones will work the best.

Case in point, this girl's eyebrows are primarily done in charcoal grey:

I also looked up the character on google, the girl they use on the book covers has pretty dark eyebrows.

The girl on the book covers also has hair that look more like the first wig I put on my girl, and is wearing an outfit that is completely different from anything she is described as wearing in the books... :lol:

<_< I guess she'll just wear the old wig then.

>_> let me fire up the hot glue gun so that sucker doesn't fall off anymore...

I've never read the books, so I wouldn't know.

This was done to one of Zirc's tinies to keep the wig from escaping all the time: Get a set of rare-earth magnets, attach one to your girl's wig, then position the other one on her head so that the wig is sitting where it needs to be... attach magnet. I use super-glue for something like this, but you could stitch one magnet inside wig, and hot-glue the other one inside the head-cap.

I actually tried that with her wig before... ended up taking a layer of skin off my fingertips (which pretty much happens anytime I superglue anything) and accidentally glued one of the magnets the wrong way so the same polarities were facing each other. :|

I think I'm just going to glue the wig directly to her headcap this time.

I'm not really a fur wig person so the fact that I'm actually suggesting the fur one goes against my norm, but I really think it does suit her the best. There's something about it that just looks absolutely right to me with her face.
