Am I crazy or is Nimue black in the illustrations? Just curious since Netflix didn't go that route if I'm just confused

Readbygio In the illustrations is black and strong but in the story she is blond, and very thin, and in Netlix is brunette, I`m confused :)
Dani Frank Miller likes to draw in black and white for the majority of his illustrations. It' his general art style. You can definitely see this in his Sin City series. So showing Nimue in either black or white in the illustrations with a rough looking face is simply Frank Miller's art style.
Heather I think she is portrayed as both black and white in the illustrations. She is described as white and blonde in the book, you are correct.
Haleigh Miller Nimue in the illustrations is black. I don't know why they didn't cast a black actress to portray her in the show (they 100% should've) but we don't need any more whitewashed characters in Hollywood.
Bronn From what i remember she is described as dark skinned, with blonde hair. She is always described as very thin, i think her appearance is supposed to remind you that she is Fey, not human.
One of the first things in the novel that I read, was a coloured illustration of Nimue with dark skin and blonde hair.

Netflix made a choice, which i imagine makes it hard for anyone to read the book and then watch the series.
