To the anon: David Talbot/The Body Thief whose name I can’t remember now are described as anglo indian with caramel skin.

Yes, there are definitely more VoC (vampires of color!) in VC, I only made an example of one, so as not to spoil that anon too much, as they are just starting the series 😉

Decided to compile more facts here about David’s appearance for future reference, bolded mentions of his skin.

In

Tale of the Body Thief, David describes him:

‘Mother an Anglo-Indian, which may
explain the exceptionally beautiful complexion you’re describing, and which I can see here plainly enough.
Father a London cabbie who died in jail.’ “

Lestat describes him AT LENGTH in TOBT so I just picked a few relevant bits: 

“…thick, wavy brown hair.” … “…brown eyes and smooth youthful mouth.”

“The thick glossy hair, the
uncommonly smooth and satin like skin. The exceptional beauty.”

“He was a little taller than I am, six feet two, I
figured, and he was extremely well built, as I’d seen before. I’d been right about the age. The body couldn’t
have been more than twenty-five years old.”

“… The fabric of the
turtleneck shirt showed his muscles to great advantage, and the clean white cotton made his skin seem all
the more richly colored, almost a dark golden brown.”

“… Indeed, late adolescence had only just completed itself in this young male form, though I hadn’t
thought about it before. It was in every sense only just finished, like a coin with the first clear impression
stamped upon it and not a single tiny scratch of true wear.”
