Digital painting of a red-haired man in historical Scottish attire, with blue eyes and a beard, in a misty green landscape with standing stones.

Outlander books, William Ransom has deep chestnut brown hair, inheriting the color from his mother, but his beard grows in red. He has the tall height and blue, cat-like eyes of the Fraser family and the fair skin of his mother, Geneva. He also possesses a similar nose, jaw, and facial expression to Geneva, while his broad, strong build and mannerisms resemble Jamie. Key features from the books: Height: He is tall, like the MacKenzie clan. Hair: His hair is a deep chestnut brown, though his beard grows in red. Eyes: He has the slanted, dark blue, cat-like eyes of the Fraser family. Skin: He has fair skin. Facial Features: His nose, jaw, and a pouty facial expression resemble his mother, Geneva. Build: He is tall and broad-shouldered, similar to Jamie. Mannerisms: He inherits some gestures and a tilt of the head from Jamie. In essence, William combines features from both his birth father, Jamie Fraser (height, build, certain features), and his birth mother, Geneva Dunsany (hair color, nose, eyes), along with the refined features of his adoptive father, Lord John Grey.
