I was the opposite. I always thought elves had light/blond hair when I was younger. I didn't pick up on the dark hair until about the 2nd time I read the Sil (nothing gets by me! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]). I even wrote a poem in H.S. about Aragorn and Arwen, in which I stated that Arwen had "gold" hair. Silly me! I thought Legolas was blond until I joined this site and learned that it is never specified. I went with those on the site who believe he has dark hair and forced myself to view him differently during readings. Then, the movie came out and has sent me reeling back to my old ways. What can you do!?!
