A herring cured by salting and slow smoking to a dark brown color
(But seriously, an idea or concept, deliberately designed to takes people's attention away from what is actually happening).

It's something that's intended to mislead/distract you. For example: GT specifically giving Dizzy/Rose white hair could be a reference to June, but it could also just be intended to distract you from the fact that she appeared interested in Vayne before his incident with Safiya's family.

Oh ok. I thought Red Herring was a worldwide thing. I guess you Americans, just have to be different.

I wouldn't say definitely, was she close enough to the edge to jump just before detonation?
I think there will be hints that every character will be a traitor, so that when one or more is a traitor then there will have been clues to that, but then the hints to characters who didn't turn out to be traitors automatically become red herrings, it's the classic ploy of any mystery genre, create as many viable suspects as possible and then reveal that only one of them is guilty (usually the least likely but still viable suspect) unless it's Murder on the Orient Express style and everyone is guilty!

Yep, that was my point, June happend before, Vayne even knew that he joined the Army.
Dizzy/Rose we met years after, could be that Vaynes mind played tricks on him, and he just saw in Dizzy some reensemblace with June,.
Now, the Incident with Safiyas family was, in between those events, (here is the information for a good spy easy to have, so Rose could know about) what she seems to know are things about mc emotions before the war broke out, (only if you go the romantic path with her you learn about) but ok, benefit of doubt, Dev could be playing with the interpretation of his readers,

the question remains to whom they are traitors, they all see in MC a Keystone or a valious pawn in their games.My working theory is that they are ALL traitors.

I suspect everyone but my sweet sweet Lana.
We are going hold hands under the moonlight, then right before we head out to a midnight dinner gonna boop her nose. When we get get home we are going to hang out on the sofa where i'll give her a head pat. Finally when we are ready to go sleep together and go to bed for the night gonna give her a nice welcoming forehead kiss.

The funny thing about red herring is that you don't need to design them because uncertainty by nature makes people question their thinking.
I just simply write the characters acting out their own plans

.Just to clarify, nor should he, the mystery of Dizzy/Rose is what keeps us all guessing and suppositioning (if that's a word
) and GT is doing an amazing job of keeping the intrigue going strong.

Oh well, he already did, at least for me, so down to the facts, and that is great, you will see how the characters act, and then get a clue, Kudos !See xapican, I told you he wouldn't answer.
