There's always trouble when the Hornsup clan meets the Hornsdown gang. (Jeff Easley, AD&D 2e Dungeon Master's Guide, TSR, 1989) The pale blue maps in early modules were charming. The pale blue art in 2e books was a bizarre editorial choice that lasted years. (Previously)

Kaycee's sprite
(Copy-pasted from my original Wikia comment)
So! Fun Kaycee fact: By poking around in the files, we can actually guess at something fairly close to her appearance, using both her Deathcard and the Act II alternate player characters.
How Deathcard images work is that the sprite is made of different parts:
We can see that Kaycee's Deathcard is made with Eyes 5, Mouth 2, and the "Wildling" head/hairstyle.
Similarly, the Act II sprites are divided into head and body:
...With char.png being the default sprite, and the monocle being an overlay after picking it up from Magnificus' tower. The gbc_ files are randomly combined to make a new player character when walking into the mirror in the back of Grimora's crypt. (Side note... unsure of what the gbc part means, I was thinking the G stood for Grimora but there are files with it unrelated to her, so I think it's just an Act II signifier in general.)
But anyway, putting together the wildling files, we get this spritesheet:
And upscaled + condensed to be a bit easier to look at:
Kaycee Hobbes in full-color, 8-bit glory!!
This process applies to the other pre-made deathcards!
Louis - chief
Reginald - settlerman
Kaminski - settlerwoman
James Cobb - robot
Luke Carder - gravedigger
...As well as some other premade Kaycee's Mod deathcards that don't seem to have a ton of significance. The Prospector is also, obviously, the prospector in the files, despite not having a deathcard.
Reginald does look like the Reginald we know, just wearing blue instead of red. Prospector is spot-on. James did get turned into a robot, and Luke is, well, dead. A skeleton. We don't have canon appearances for Louis or Kaminski, so they're pretty much fair game. Meaning these are probably fairly legit, since itl all lines up so well. I guess it's not, like, solid evidence, but circumstantially it all makes a lot of sense. So, there we go! Canon appearance for Kaycee (And Lou Natas and Kaminski??), or at least the closest thing we'll probably ever get, unless Pony Island 2 surprises us with her.
Hope this is interesting to people!
(Unrelated, does Reginald and Kaminski being named settlerman and settlerwoman respectively imply that they're married? That'd be pretty interesting to think about)
