what are your adjectives

silly

[ianthe-is-a-bitch-and-i-love-her]

this may be a silly question but if Iscend isn't described as definitively nonwhite and the Clarified are associated with whiteness already, how is it whitewashing to interpret her as a white woman? the way you broke down how she's described makes it sound ambiguous to me

I don't think it's silly to ask for clarification on issues you don't understand. But your premise is wrong - Iscend is unambiguously nonwhite. That information is conveyed in a way that an audience used to a white default might overlook, though.

The thing is, The Masquerade series actively and deliberately avoids presenting whiteness as a default. It is established quickly that "typical" Falcresti people have brown skin. Throughout the books, it is established in fairly short order that Oriati and Maia people, as well as their offshoots, are also not white. The only major ethnicity with white skin are the Stakhieczi, which is noted frequently throughout the books as something of an oddity.

And that's critical. It's an oddity. Nonwhite is the default. White is something strange to be remarked on. The number of times Baru's narration lingers on Cartone's or Svir's whiteness is enormous. There is no ambiguity about their whiteness, because when Baru is in frequent proximity to a white person, she makes explicit note of it, because it's unusual.

Now notice that she never once makes that sort of observation about Iscend. What we have instead are multiple observations about Iscend's Falcresti beauty - a nonwhite beauty. Falcrest does not idealize whiteness, because the concept white as a privileged class does not exist in Falcrest.

Or, tldr, we know Iscend isn't white because Baru would be remarking on it constantly if she was.

Based on the way you phrased your question, I assume you don't need an explanation of why it's a problem to whitewash an unambiguously nonwhite character.
