Even the doctor was surprised when she emerged at birth with bright pink hair, thus her exotic name. Despite predictions to the contrary, her hair never changed color, nor is it going gray as she moves through her sixth decade. She decided early on that being easy to spot in a crowd was an advantage, and parlayed that into a successful career as a conflict correspondent. In one encounter, her hair color convinced potential captors to release her and her crew, as there would have been no way to disguise her as they tried to escape their NATO pursuers. Now, quietly retired in the wilds of Alaska, she enjoys going almost unnoticed when she dons a nondescript watch cap and zips along on her all terrain vehicle.
