I know in the game Connor's skin doesn't look much lighter than the other Native American characters, but Ziio speaks for about a minute at the start of sequence 4 about how different her son looked, and when he's a child he looks a bit pale. So I think it's not very noticable to colonists, but Connor would think it obvious. Like someone might have a bit of a complex about their 'really tall' figure, when they're actually only an inch or so taller than those around them, and most people wouldn't pay it much attention. Does that make any sense? Sorry if it doesn't... I'll try to explain better in the morning. :S

I'm really glad you like my writing so much! All your lovely comments and observations make me all warm and fuzzy inside! :3
