My assumption was that, like Idas, all the undines have white/albino hair. The green
algae color wouldn't work so well atop a brunette.
I put a lot of stock in the undines' claim to be daughter-brides of Abaia. The
Tzadkiel/sponge sexual/asexual reproduction model works for me.
I'm not sure if that can fit in with this scenario of Severian's twin being dragged
underwater as a child to be transformed into an undine. Some sort of Corn Maiden?
But if that's what happened I can certainly see her name being changed to match the
lake.
