The reason it hurt Lizzie so much to see Jay that first time on Joaldo wasn't just because Jay reminded her so much of Ava.
It was because because Jay was, of all things, a pirate.
It was because Jay was living proof that Lizzie had failed. That there was a way Ava and her could have been together, succeeded together, on the same side.
If she had just tried harder, finally convinced Ava to leave the navy for good, they could have been together. Ava would still be alive.
To Lizzie, Jay is an afterimage, a reflection of what Ava could have been.
A reminder forever following her, close to the one person from Lizzie's past she could never bring herself to abandon, forcing her way into Lizzie's life, forever a reminder to Lizzie that she failed, she failed, she failed-
Jay is Ava's ghost, and Lizzie is being haunted

headcanon that drey started dying his hair black about a year before he became pirate. he always said it was so people wouldn't associate him with The Ferin Family, but even before he left, it was his own little act of rebellion. something just for him. when he was arrested and sent to the BLOCK, he wasn't able to keep up with it. now, it's just the ends of his hair that are still black-- but he doesn't seem to mind the red anymore.
ava got the idea to dye her hair brown the last time she saw her uncle. it wasn't for the same reasons (not consciously, anyway), and she knew the rest of the family wouldn't approve of it, but she still begged her mom to let her do it. she kept up with it until she died. she was buried not with the bright red hair of a ferin, but with something she made uniquely her own.
jay never tried to do anything fancy with her hair.
recently, she's been thinking of cutting it.

GOD WAIT HANG ON. I'm thinking about the episode (episodes?) where lizzie is like passed out drunk and caspian has to gently gather her up and take her back to the ship and he does it like he's done it a thousand times before. Thinking about the first time he might have done it, after Ayva's death. Sobbing screaming etc
