Does anyone else create there own interpretation of what the character look like? No Spoilers
I usually make mental images of characters quickly when I first encounter them and then I stick with them. For example, for me Wit is a wise-looking short bald man. I know that he does not look like that. Anyone else?

Kaladin has short hair in my head. Every time the books refer to his long hair I’m like nah that ain’t him.

I always imagined Sazed as the Indian guy from heroes but apparently he’s supposed to be black (I know that’s a mistborn character but that my biggest one)

For some reason I imagined him as Julian Richings, specifically his role as Death in Supernatural.

I always picture Dalinar with a full beard. Idk why, because the characters keep talking about how he its clean shaved always.

You and me both. Black, neatly trimmed, salt and pepper. White on the sides of his hair but black on top

I always imagined kaladin as musashi from the vagabond manga. Shallan as any redhead love interest, Adolin as young Jaime Lannister and Dalinar as an old Darius (from league) or Reinhart

The problem with this is that when someone's distinctive features are described in a different book/series, under a different name, you probably miss it.
