The truth about Fitz

[Mira]

So...Jim didn't actually say Fitz is cursed, Serack did...?

It's because he has red hair isn't it? Ron Weasley had red hair! Ginger power!

(Even though I have brown hair  )

 He could also be related to Gard, lots of Scandinavians have red hair, remember the famous Viking, Eric the Red?

  That is a good point, but a stretch in my opinion, yes the age is all wrong. What tells me more than anything he isn't Tera West's pup, is his behavior.  Wolves are social creatures, they run in packs and are very good parents.  Tera West was impressive in her values,  a big thing she did was to teach the Alphas a good value system and what it means to be a wolf.  Fitz didn't show any of that, yeah, he is a sensitive, and Harry saw that he wasn't all bad, but if Harry hadn't come along, Fitz would have continued down the same road he was on most likely.  To me that just doesn't fit with the values of Tera West.

And if he ran away....he wouldn't have been raised by Tera.

The 'values' you are talking about are really nebulous things...it just doesn't disprove the theory.

But red hair is associated with the Irish, not the Scandanavians.  Yes, there are red haired Vikings, but from what I've seen Blonde and Black hair is WAAAAY more common than Red hair. 

Edit: And you keep bringing up Eric the Red.  Are you a descendant or something?  Not mocking, I'm just curious.

In addition...how would he be related to Gard?

No, I happen to be a Danish decent, lots of red heads in my family.  There was a bit of a Scandinavian colony where I grew up, a lot of them were red heads.  In fact I know more red heads of Scandinavian decent than I do Irish, most of the ones I know have black hair.

 Yeah, it is all about the right combo of genes, it isn't good to generalize too much about any group.

  That is how I understood he got the name, but I could be wrong, wouldn't be the first time nor the last.

[Arkham8]

I always figured he was angry and/or blood-soaked.

 Makes sense because red heads are supposed to have bad tempers...

 Anybody taken a good look at those two Irish hockey players the O'Sedin twins?

[polkaneverdies]

Fitz protects the members of his "pack". He takes the punishment his "Alpha" dishes out. He follows the lead of his alpha. What doesn't work as wolfish?

Additionally I don't recall who made the comment but what "good values" did Tera West teach the Alphas?
