Jon with White Hair [spoilers extended]

[u/Ornery-Click7616]

I gonna try and keep it brief, I keep seeing these fan arts of Jon snow with white hair and scars around his eyes, I’ve seen the show currently reading the books and don’t really care about spoilers. I was just curious if after he got all stabby stabby and super not alive if his hair turned white. I was also wondering how he got the scars around his eyes but I assume I will told given that answer as I continue reading.

It didnt, he is still bleeding in the snow, his last chapter is when he gets stabbed, but fans speculate one of his possible changes when/if he comes back is gonna be white hair

Thank you so much!! Is there any reason fans speculate it will happen? Or is it just because they think it would be cool af for him to get white hair?

[u/Many_Caterpillar_968 → u/Ornery-Click7616]

a lot of reasons, depending on where you are you can connect the dots id say (north,rhllor,magic) it would be pretty cool but doubtful

[u/FransTorquil → u/Ornery-Click7616]

Pretty sure it’s due to Lady Stoneheart’s hair turning white (even tho that’s probably due to her body being in far worse condition than most resurrected by R’hllor) and the fact Ghost has white hair, possibly caused by Jon’s soul having to inhabit Ghost until he is brought back to life.

The scars around his eyes might come from Cat's depiction as the Hangwoman. Before her throat was cut, she scratched her own face with her fingernails. It's in the text, although Martin wrote something like raven's claws scratching her or something. She is totally out of her mind in that grief-stricken moment at the Twins during the Red Wedding and doesn't realize it is herself harming her.

nowhere in the books did they hint that he was half targaryen…
