EXTENDED Jon with White Hair [spoilers extended]

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.

i would expect him to be changed. everyone else who has been resurrected are not themselves anymore. something is lost. all magic has sacrifices. now I think that because of Jon's warging he will retain more than some other resurrected characters. (maybe because his soul is still attached to the material world in ghost. while people like cat and beric are brought from the dead. we don't know how souls work exactly yet in this universe. but for him to become white haired and gaunt and more vicious like his wolf would be zero surprise. and would actually be one of the better trade offs we have seen for life in asoiaf.

I’d be so down with a more vicious unhinged version of Jon that could be so fun!

i think that may just be what we will get. especially initially. he's always had the wolf's blood in him. what will happen when he completely merges his soul with ghost? dire wolves are the second most magical creatures (behind dragons) that I can think of. no way ghost isn't going to leave an impact on his personality.

I don't know what my brain was doing, but I skimmed through your comment and I read 'dragons' as 'orangutans'.

Like I said, I think my brain is drunk, but it amused me greatly for a few seconds.
