#ONE STRIPE

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

what does it mean that Vaggie was the only Exorcist with ONE strip on her wings, instead of TWO

what does it MEAN that, when she regains her wings, they don't look like they used to anymore? They aren't the stark black/white of an Exorcist. They're... faded. A soft gradient of gray, with the stripe almost completely invisible?

why- if the change comes from spending 3 years in hell- do they not look anything like Lucifer's wings?

and instead have more the colors of a seraphim?

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HER WINGS WHAT WHAT

was she the newest Exorcist? just hadn't earned her STRIPES yet?? but she was one of the best! was she the youngest???? how good at killing would she have to be to be both the youngest AND one of the best- with a kill count in the quadruple digits-

did she NEVER have two stripes or did she lose one somehow? did that non-conformity make her stand out to Lute, make Lute suspicious (in a group that's supposed to look almost identical and kill in lock step without question) is tHAT why Lute followed her into the alley and was there to see her spare the sinner child???

is it something about her personally? that she was serious about the exterminations but not GLEEFUL or FANATIC about them-

that she was ready to Not Kill, against orders, when she felt it was wrong- meanwhile her former fellows who she probably "learned to trust on the battlefield" are all more than HAPPY to go head hunting for her later on? none of them, even looks upset about it????

is it something ELSE? WHY ARE HER WINGS GRAY NOW! Do the Exorcist DYE their wings to get that black/white color? do NONE of them actually have two strips or black markings?????

if the above-

are all their wings actually like vaggie's, or all they all different from each other too, underneath the Exorcist colors?

(and why the FUCK does her hair have the double stripe now, when it didn't used to, but her wings STILL don't. is SHE dying her hair?? why... why would she choose THOSE markings, if it was a choice...?)
