Women are expected the exact same thing, but ideally are supposed to show less effort in the same abilities but accomplish the same.
The royal family of the blood is considered the highest standard of beauty in the realm with white shimmering hair and petite figures who ccan outfight and outperform any commoner and some of the most adept.
The fascination of white hair in Llorentian ideals comes from historical documentation suggesting Lloren possessed white hair from birth, and therefore, those with white hair are closer to the original lineage.
