You're right, the white hair has to be a side effect of Xykon's attack or the troll's blood. Maybe she looks old now but she's probably still relatively young for a halfling.

I was more thinking the traumtism itself. Alledgedly someone's hair can go full white in a couple of weeks after a brush with death but there's scarce scientific evidence on the subject.

Now that I think about it, the troll's blood explains the green face and limbs but why it's the speech bubble green? Have we seen any kind of troll speaking in the comic before? Is that the way they talk or it's something different that we still don't know about?

I guess her vocal cords have been damaged and partly replaced by a troll's resulting in a wonky voice.

Do the Paladins know that Lirian and Dorukan are trapped in the gem? That might be a reason for Serini to change her plans. I don't think anyone outside of team evil knows this though.

Unless Xykon or Redcloak told somebody off-screen, no-one knows. Honestly it seems like Lirian and Dorukan had a happy ending so I'd doubt we'll ever see the gem again, except maybe if it is destroy during the ending.

Not likely. Been 60+ years since Scribblers and she was an adult, perhaps a young adult

Maybe she went gray late in life then. Or maybe halfling biology is different.

I am unsure why so many people think halflings live long, but they don't get that much older then humans, as compared to elves and dwarves.

From the DnD 3.5 rules:
Race - Middle Age - Old - Venerable - Maximum Age
Human - 35 years - 53 years - 70 years - +2d20 years
Halfling - 50 years - 75 years - 100 years - +5d20 years

So any halfling can live naturally to [105:200] years old? Seems like brown hair by 80-100 is justified.
