fair-haired

This term describes a physical attribute of light pigmentation, typically associated with blonde or pale hair. It is a neutral descriptive adjective used in both literary and everyday contexts to identify a person's appearance.

When used figuratively, the term describes a person who enjoys preferential treatment or special favor from a person in power. This usage often carries a subtle connotation of unfairness or jealousy, suggesting that the individual's success is due to their status as a favorite rather than purely based on merit.
