Belinda "Ma'am" Prescott would spell out the number brand convicts and their children usually receive (they're not allowed surnames, they are their given name + the number of times that name has been registered in the birth record, i.e. Molly is the 1286th child to be named Molly on the colony so she would have received a 1286 brand when she was of age) because she was butthurt that the Warden rescued them before they were of age to receive them. Not in the usual place, because that would show. She had to get creative, and every one was different depending on how their attire fell.
Whumpers who smoke and put their cigarettes out on Whumpee like an ashtray >>
Perhaps on their back and like a canvas they make patterns with each angry red mark from the cigarette burning Whumpee's skin. maybe on the back of their neck, yanking their hair away when they least expect it. on their bare legs. hell, maybe even on their face. or on some more obvious places where Whumpee can remember them everywhere, like on their arms or even their hands.
Just- whump <3
