I'm not talking about actual scales from powerups. I agree that they're scatches. What I also said was that they're an aesthetic thing that I have only noticed on dragon slayers. Everybody else from memory always got your "regular" battle-damage scratches.
@Darth regarding shirt marks: there's an X on her shirt, yeah. I was referencing to the near-joined # above her right eye.
Treat it as me talking nonsense if you will, since I can't see myself digging up anything pics (if possible). The easiest way to disprove this point would be to find a non-dragon slayer with the above battle damage mark.
