Aw, Peg, don't let a twenty year-old book make a character decision for you. I mean, I loved WAR FOR THE OAKS as much all the other Minnesota fan-grrls... but Willy was fey, and didn't have nearly as cool an "excuse" as a possible skin condition.
I say go for it.
I have a character in the novel I'm currently writing who has a white streak in her hair. She's been mutated by the Medusa. I don't think of it as having been done by Emma, I think of it as an homage to her. :-)
And anyway an eyebrow is a completely different thing. And, honestly? MUCH COOLER.
