Question: Gheyo scars and marks?
Answer: *Gheyos bond just like any other ranked dragel, however, they like to have their marks in unusual places. It’s a point of pride for them. They love showing them off.
Traditional marks are alright, but Gheyos tend to wear whatever lets them move comfortably and/or be seen at their best.
A Gheyo Suite can have marks for each other (loyalty marks and claim marks, if they are trained by a famous gheyo, bc of the prestige it gives them. Think Dahlia or Mariana, their reputation gives any gheyo a good boost). But it’s not required.
Some Gheyos keep their scars on purpose. Example: Dahlia’s scar is from her training ACE, Lady Pai. The injury nearly killed her, but being one of the rare few to survive and at such a young age, she opted to keep it.
A Gheyo without scars could be wearing a glamour or is powerful enough to heal all injuries. The not knowing which it could be always works in their favor though a more experienced Gheyo can pick up on some of the nuance.
All non-gheyo ranks struggle to heal injuries and need help to get rid of any scars and marks. Some injuries can take decades to heal. Most Gheyos keep the ones they like as souvenirs/personal preference. If they can’t heal them, it’s still a testament that they survived, like with Ilsa’s wings or Dahlia’s scar and Wikhn’s scars, received before he came under her training wing.
