I'm really glad you made this post, because the constant description of Integra as pale/ivory/light/etc. makes me sad. Her skin is this lovely medium shade of brown, and it fits perfectly into her general gorgeousness that makes me want to wax rhapsodic like the adoring fangirl I am. Why mess with that?

(Maybe I should draw a ton of fanart with Integra's skin darker than it's usually depicted. Just to balance things out a little.)

It's just as reasonable to say that Integra would tan. Plus, the manga cover art depicts her skin as darker.
