OT April: Redhead?

*plastroncafe* · 06-07-2016, 11:15 AM

I was in a discussion the other day regarding OT April, and whether or not she was a redhead or a brunette. There were four of us and we were divided equally in both camps, so....what say you 'Dromers?

~~Mew~~ · 06-07-2016, 11:21 AM

She has brown hair.

*snake* · 06-07-2016, 11:34 AM

I'm gonna go with brown.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 06-07-2016, 11:44 AM

Brunette...

*Wesley* · 06-07-2016, 12:19 PM

I thought she was a redhead. In the episode Enter the Rat King, Rat King's obsession with April made Irma think that men only like redheads.

I went ahead and google searched an image of her to refresh my memory, and I ended up going all Cybercubed and went with option #3.

She's a brunette, likely because Mirage April has black hair and that was the only that existed at the time. Also the same reason Archie April is a brunette.

April didn't become a red head till the 2k3 series, and its kind of funny something the 2k3 series did became canon:

- 2k3 April = redhead
- Nick April = red head
- IDW April = red head
- Michael Bay movies = red head

You're absolutely correct.

Full episode links are against the rules, correct?

Quite possibly. I'll edit.

~~Mew~~ · 06-07-2016, 01:06 PM

I said it was against the rules, but now I find myself 15 minutes and 42 seconds into the episode.

*Candy Kappa* · 06-07-2016, 01:18 PM

I'd say she's a redhead. Her hair is more auburn then orange, though.

*oldmanwinters* · 06-07-2016, 01:55 PM

I asked David Wise about it on Facebook years ago, since he seems to have had influence over her design and portrayal. He actually wrote back and said that his assumption was that April was a brunette:

For the majority of the series, I always saw her as a brunette. I don't think it was until Season 8 or 9 that she blatantly got red hair.

Ginger. It's obvious. Laird even confirmed on his blog during an Ask PL.

*Prowler* · 06-07-2016, 04:09 PM

I've always seen her as a redhead. Her hair being a darker shade of red obviously, but picturing her as a brunette is not something I've ever done, tbh.

*myconius* · 06-07-2016, 04:17 PM

in the OT cartoon her hair looks more a warm brown rather than outright redhead.

but she had Black hair in Mirage anyway so...

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 06-07-2016, 08:40 PM

Redhead. It is clearly a dark red/auburn in that screenshot. And yay for remembering Irma's comment! I'd say that clinches it- she is a redhead in-world.

*Powder* · 06-07-2016, 08:49 PM

I've always seen it as reddish-brown, maybe more in favor of brown (which is the vote I gave).
