Zemi: Not too shabby, Klu? *walks over to the couch and flops down on it like he already owns it*
KY: *speaks awkwardly* I’m glad you’re pleased, Father… *walks into the little kitchen area* I’m famished. *reaches for a piece of bread from the little pantry box* Would you care for something to eat?
Zemi: No… that’s not necessary.
KY: *looks at Zemi, putting together a sandwich* You’re kidding… they barely left me crusts of bread in the dank hole.
Zemi: I don’t require matter… in order to sustain myself.
KY: Oh… Then what do you require?
Zemi: *motions to the window* Light… Sunlight. Starlight. Moonlight. It is what I am.
KY: : . *comes over and sits down, blinks for a moment… then starts to eat the sandwich*
*snort* At least he didn’t jump into the couch…:P

Zemi doesn’t eat? but won’t his body get as thin as a toothpick?

Zemi doesn’t need to eat because he doesn’t really have a physical body to maintain at this point. As he explained on this page, Arweinydd are made of light-energy — most often, they are associated with starlight. How all of that actually works is beyond me to comprehend… I just know that’s the way it is.
Zemi takes on a physical-seeming form by will and desire. He had to spend a lot of time studying real people to get it right. But there are still some flaws in his design which keeps him from functioning like a real Earthian.
There are also other… catches… to the situation, which we’ll find out about eventually. Sometimes it’s nice to have a fluid form and be able to choose what you look like. But lack of solid self-identity can cause trouble for Zemi… especially when other folks figure it out… XD

There are a few exceptions in my characters (Chase? Tsu?) but for the most part, yes. I find in a black and white manga (that has a lot of white haired characters), head decorations help to further identify character and set them apart for the reader.
But honestly, it was just the way they were designed on their own, I guess?

Why is Zemi like that

It’s just part of the nature of the Arweinydd, Eraine. There isn’t really a reason “why”. It just is.

But… but… sammiches taste so much better than light! Light doesn’t come in peanut butter!
You know, the chibis are always my favorite part of this, but Zemi’s face in the 2nd to last panel is fantastic: a lot of character, and easily distinguished from your other male, white-haired characters, which must be tricky in itself. Keep it up!
