Viera and Hrothgar clans detailed on official site

[Lacan]

I feel like someone who lived in ala mhigo their whole lives could easily be darker skinned than someone who left it when they were 5 years old.

but then why was Yda white? :v She grew up there.

I mean, do we know how long she lived there?
Edit: Also, do we know who her mother is? Do we know if Lyse is highlander or midlander and how their skins pigment? I feel like there's enough unknowns that it's kind of silly to make a big deal about the skin color differences.

Well, we know she lived there till she was grown enough to wear that red outfit Lyse puts on at the end of Stormblood. So at least young adulthood?

I think Yda and Lyse's mom might have been fooling around.
