It’s so funny when people get caught up with things like that.
It’s also funny but a little sad when people’s expectations of how colorful ancient times ought to be, or rather shouldn’t be, create standards of “realism” that are completely opposite to how history really was.
If you are going to write, say, fantasy - stop reading fantasy. You’ve already read too much. Read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you’re going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit.
Why does it have blue hair? I don’t think hair dye exists in a medieval world, or at least and easily accessible one
It isn’t a medieval world though.
It is a fantasy world that merely resembles medieval Europe. You can see this in the way she cast freaking magic.
And even back then people dyed their hairs, yes including blue.
Hair dye actually has a long history.

Hair color that’s fun for the player? Realism ruined.

Hair dye DID exist in medieval times tho, and in fact, even ancient Egyptians dyed their hair

Have fun!

Why is the LITERAL WIZARD not a tradwife lmao
“It” might not even be human, and could be part of a species that naturally has blue hair pigment.
“It” is also a fantasy character casting magic spells - it wouldn’t be far fetched that aesthetic magic exists.
