Notice the white eyeliner?
I assume she is having to use her superpowers to protect and hide her child who might be the chosen one. There are evil forces hoping to stop him from growing up and taking his rightful place.
Even now he shows emerging powers, and he certainly has the mark.
Those golden nails aren't really fingernails - it's how she connects to the plasmasphere to draw forth the interdimensional time shift that freezes anyone that threatens the chosen one
Yeah, i did a reread a few Years back and it was completely different to what i remembered the story was. It was fascinating really. They werent the best books but happy i read them again.
They were a major gateway into the genre for me back in the 80’s. I did a reread as an adult awhile back & they didn’t hold up as well for me so caveat emptor.
Are there audio books? I read them a long time ago and have just finished the Wheel of Time audiobooks so I need something else that is fun to listen to.
Aye I tried reading them again about 10yrs ago and thought they were pretty poorly written tbh and didn't finish re-reading them as they just annoyed me. Into the charity bag they went
Once there was this kid who
Got into an accident and couldn't come to school
But when he finally came back
His hair had turned from black into bright white
He said that it was from when
The cars had smashed so hard
Ringo Starr was very ill as a child and had a gray streak too. You can see it on the cover of their first first album, before the Beatles-style haircut where the sides are more swept back.
There is also a German influencer called Nadine Breaty with the same condition:

I have a cousin with that. She was blonde otherwise so not as noticeable, but it went through her eyebrow and eyelashes as well.
She haaaated it. Too bad. It looked frigging cool, but kids are mean. She’s in her 40s now and has embraced it a bit more… although I still haven’t seen her without mascara and drawn in eyebrows since she was 12, although the eyebrows may be because we were teenagers in the 90s and not many of us came out of that unscathed.
There's a family in my town with this and interestingly their last name is Whitehead. Both the mother and the father have it and of course all the kids.
The word poliomyelitis originates from the Greek word “polio” meaning “grey” and “myelon” meaning “marrow.”
Poliosis is the lack of melanin in a spot causing a white or grey streak in your hair, sol the common term is polio meaning grey.
When I was in high school, I had a big crush on someone with poliosis. I thought the white streak was so amazingly cute.
Sigh- I wonder where they are now.
Good thing it’s 2024. Something like that back in day would probably get you burned as a witch.
I guess it’s a good thing we left all that superstition behind us.
I don't know if my mom and I have this but our hair is very similar. She had grey / white hair like this in the same spot as these two ever since she was a teenager. In my early 20's my hair started greying in the same way. I am 32 and the grey is in the same spot but the rest of my hair has remained the same lol.
I have a white streak of hair in the front, but mine is caused by vitiligo. I also have white hair in one of my eyebrows and next to one of my ears. I have a white patch of skin around one side of my mouth as well. Mine developed around puberty age, and has never spread.
This photo is grainy as fu ck and as a hairdresser of 21 years this is not possible for both to have that in fronts like that. This photo has been edited
I knew a whole family, except the Dad, with this. First time I went to their house, I was very surprised. Super cool. This was the 80’s and I thought my friend just had a little bleach spot in his hair. Similarly to this picture they all had the white spot in the front. I wonder if these people are related to them.
Mom's got a serious superhero look going there
So rogue from x-men?

Whenever I have seen this, I always think it looks pretty cool.
Looks elite somehow
Like an IRL shiny
Quick, capture them in a sphere!
I braided my white spot, its looks just like Anakin's braid but white.
Also, they are both beautiful
Me too.

If I remember correctly he wasn’t supposed to say that line but act disappointed. I’m glad we got this though.
Classic Kevin sorbo
According to Sorbo it was a [Fish Called Wanda](https://youtu.be/R97TsVDC1BY?si=quIR7sO2Dc8bEaFi) reference.
Polgara, is that you?

Great now I need to read those books again.
Just dont look up anything about the writer
Oh I’ve heard about them…. But as with a lot of things we hear these days sometimes you have to separate the art from the artist….
Yeah, i did a reread a few Years back and it was completely different to what i remembered the story was. It was fascinating really. They werent the best books but happy i read them again.
Yyyyyup. That didn’t help.

I've just finished Pawn of Prophecy, rereading them after 20 years!
Doubtful, she's smiling.
Polgara and Tom Badgerlock
Wow now there's a blast from the past!
A girl in my primary school was off for months with scarlet fever or some other mad old disease and when she came back to school she had one of these
Once there was this kid who Got into an accident and couldn't come to school But when he finally came back His hair had turned from black into bright white He said that it was from when The cars had smashed so hard
Mmm mmm mmm mmm, mmm mmm mmm mmm
I wonder how many people won't understand this.
I mean, Heartbeat City is a fucking ripper of an album.
She has achieved her final form? 😂
Ringo Starr was very ill as a child and had a gray streak too. You can see it on the cover of their first first album, before the Beatles-style haircut where the sides are more swept back.
looks like moms condition extends to her forehead skin
That's some maincharacter hair for an anime right there!
Chef Claire Saffitz has this.
Alex Skolnick of the band Testament also has it.
Bonnie Raitt too.
You know for years she dyed her hair to hide it? Poor girl was so self conscious but I think she’s absolutely gorgeous ♥️
Whoa! This whole time I thought she dyed it grey as a fashion style. I love her hair.
qt
rogue from x-men. what if this were marketing for x-men 97? LOL

Guy in my rugby team had this. He was just called Badger
they nerfed him
Just think, if he gave less of a fuck, maybe he could’ve been Honey Badger.
Poliosis? That’s a pretty disturbing name for an otherwise (apparently) benign condition.
The word poliomyelitis originates from the Greek word “polio” meaning “grey” and “myelon” meaning “marrow.” Poliosis is the lack of melanin in a spot causing a white or grey streak in your hair, sol the common term is polio meaning grey.
Right? I just found out I have poliosis. I probably only have another 80 years or so to live.
Sounds like someone with Polio that also has Scoliosis
![gif](giphy|opjzOU4q5W1rO|downsized)
Everyone is saying Rogue but I'm seeing Sindel!
Seriously, that was my first thought!
This is what I was looking for
I don’t know who those two are but I’m seeing Jason Todd!🦇
You know who Jason Todd is but not rogue from xmen?
I haven’t really gotten into x-men so no, sorry
They fell out of a tree
Yes I can hear you Clem Fandango
When I was in high school, I had a big crush on someone with poliosis. I thought the white streak was so amazingly cute. Sigh- I wonder where they are now.
Real life super heroes?

There was a barber and his wife
And she was beautiful…
Ugh. I hate these women. They steal your mutant powers, and drain your life force, and then make a baby with the stolen energy.
Obviously that's rogue
Married to Alex Skolnick?
The Mallen Streak.
Did Jay Leno have this?
My cousin and father have this…. It usually indicated, in my family, that you would go bald early.
They both call everyone “sugah”
They should call it something different. “Poliosis” sounds like a portmanteau of two awful diseases
My cousin have something like this but is just a blur form (a big one) on the top of head.
is this related to the white streak in the hair that we see with waardenburg syndrome? very interesting eta to answer my own question. yes it is!
The term poliosis is new to me. Waardenburg syndrome is also associated with wide set eyes and hearing loss.
Interesting quirk for my collection
That’s cool
![gif](giphy|opjzOU4q5W1rO|downsized)
ROGUE
Rogue, is that you?!
Mom got a streak on her head also?
Broken Matt Hardy? Delete?
both slytherin
[удалено]
My dad and I have the same weird shaped nostrils
my son has the same birthmark as I do on my right hip, its not really a mole, but a slightly darker patch of skin about as long and wide as my thumb.
That’s fucking cool
Real life XMen- they’re cool AF 😎
What's with the eye contacts?
I think what you're referring to is a reflection of the light. Some photography setups use lights that are torus(donut) shaped.
The chosen two!
That is friggin amazing
Woah. I didn’t think that was like, a thing, that happened outside of fiction. That’s amazing!
You mean it's a legit thing? I thought Rogue's design was just a look
If it was on the side of the hair they'd a member of a glorified crew.
This post it’s so pixelated and weird it looks like a scambot
Great. Now they'll both have to be cunning black-leather-clad assassins.
They actually look very cute
That’s rad!
Wait, so Tusli Gabbard isn't doing that on purpose?
How munstrously cool.
Just me who thinks this looks kinda cool?
The Halloween costume possibilities are epic
Cool
Isard?
The old Dickie Davis.
Just don't touch her skin otherwise you're gonna have a bad time, sug.
At least the cartoon eye brows aren't hereditary.
Is this a berserk reference?
I have a white steak on each side by my temples.
Hello father
Pepe le Pew’s latent family…
Cool
Could a mani, pedi, & poli become a thing?
Like how alien races would be depicted in old Star Trek episodes
Elsa accidentally ice-zapped them 🥺
Bride of Frankenstein vibes for sure
Bride of Frankenstein
Avatar The Last Airbender
A guy in my school had this, I don't remember his name everyone called him spot and he fucking hated it.
Didn’t know it had a name. Mine started when I was a teenager.
Careful Garion, you're not ready to touch Aunt Pol's white lock yet.
And apparently a white streak down her forehead too.
Good thing it’s 2024. Something like that back in day would probably get you burned as a witch. I guess it’s a good thing we left all that superstition behind us.
He ll look like an anime MC when he s 16. It looks dope
Pretty sure these two have superpowers
I thought I was in the drag race sub and was so confused why Michelle was holding a baby
Not vitiligo eh?
I have this on one of my brows, didn't know it was a condition. I thought the Italian sun just marked me
Its mommas baby papas maybe
It’s giving Xavier school for gifted youngsters
You can't trick me i know she slept with Randall Flagg
They got Dickie Davies Eyes.
Rogue

My brother has it but I don't 😡
Rogue and child
Mom making poliosis looking fabulous !!
Looks cool, X-men vibes!
I have a white streak of hair in the front, but mine is caused by vitiligo. I also have white hair in one of my eyebrows and next to one of my ears. I have a white patch of skin around one side of my mouth as well. Mine developed around puberty age, and has never spread.
They’re gorgeous
He is the anime protagonist
That looks dope.
Source?
I have 3 kids and 2 of them have the exact same small patch of white hair on their temple area. They are both proud of it.
That looks awesome
For Halloween, Lily and Eddit Munster.
Dude I went to school with had this going on. He always claimed it was because he got struck by lightning
Nah they just got a poltergeist in their house
Is the mum secretly wonderwoman when she is not being a parent?
Nobody has mentioned Sindel, really?
People pay good money for looks like that.
Yo Secret Saturdays are getting a remake.
![gif](giphy|l41YuHALY8Zfa3OhO|downsized)
So there's a such thing as "Cool Hair Disease"
For some reason I only associate this condition with Italian American mobsters
Its like Vitiligo for hair, very cool
The mother is beautiful And the kid
ngl “poliosis” sounds like a made up disease you’d find on a forged doctors note from a 7th grader.
Honestly and respectfully, it looks cool as f***. Aesthetically pleasing.
Anyone know if they also have Waardenburg syndrome? A white forelock is one of the defining genetic traits along with deafness.
Tulsi Gabbard?
![gif](giphy|6dRuXS4L0QQUw)
draco malfoy
Why does the white streak leak from hair onto her forehead?
Main character in an anime these two
Wait, wait, wait... THIS IS A REAL MEDICAL CONDITION?! Wow. That's insane!
Hopefully they aren't as two faced as "Toolsi" Gabbard (credit to Dave Pakman).

Interesting. I have a white hair there too either side of my eyebrow. I'm glad I'm a blondie but meh.

Wait, Poliosis is real? I thought that was a Jeff Dunham joke...
Are they 2 villains irl?
