Remember Medawar psychoactive facial paint... they're probably not the only ones among the various cultures and subcultures we meet in Finder who have a number of functionally differentiated types of body 'decoration'.

Who else could it be? Oops, I meant to leave this comment on page 38 where her neck is more visible. The various skin markings on everybody seem to come and go frequently around here. They can be tattoos, a hallucination, marker pens, effects of channeling gods or makeup. I think this is a very cool device for indicating a deeper story going on with a character, and it sometimes makes it easier for me to tell with who is who (especially among almost identical clan members). That is why I look for Rachels neck tattoo! Maybe it was really one of those removable stretchy lace necklaces that was popular among school kids about six years ago... OOH! More finder merchandise ideas! Yeah, of course it must be Rachel. Who else could it be?

But I figured if she's all aglow in her divine aura, maybe the tattoo doesn't show. Looked up the vaulting horse candle meditation. Pretty wild. Didn't remember that at all. Didn't expect that Emma would be, uh, naked, either... Given that Rachel is taking orders from Coward, I don't think her act here has one-upped her mom. - Chris Thought it possible the tattoo was forgotten on the second panel.

Except in the silhouette, which wouldn't show the tattoo anyway? And yeah, definitely Rachel. Blond, wavy hair isn't exactly common in Ascians. ;-) Uhm… where do you guys even see Rachel’s neck here?

I expect that it is. If it's just the tattoo that's throwing you off, Carla probably just forgot it again. Easy to forget details when you're busy flowing with spirit. :) And who knows how much time has passed since Rachel was recovering from the party? It could be enough time to do what she's doing. Thanks for the horse page pointer. :) - Chris Why wouldn’t it be Rachel? I expect that it is. If it’s just the tattoo that’s throwing you off, Carla probably just forgot it again.

Unless maybe somebody forgot to draw the Finder pattern tattoo around her neck again. She's wearing a different dress too! When we last saw Rachel she didn't look like she would of been motivated or capable of changing her clothes! I love the blackened face.

But looking at it again and again, it really does look like Jack is looking up at Oriana/Rachel. I imagine that Jack might have been looking down before Oriana/Rachel appeared, then just shifted his eyes up without shifting the position of the rest of his body, as if her appearance merited nothing but a turn of the eyes. What's also interesting is in the second panel, Oriana/Rachels' darker part of her face shows on the left side of her head, indicating to me that she's not facing Jack, but to his right (our left), so maybe she's not addressing him...? And if she's there to help, why does she have to be so dark and dramatic about it? Guess that's her nature? And she might have some good news AND bad news for Jack? Hm... a vaulting horse, like in gymnastics? I'll look for it. - Chris Yes, I can see how it can look like Jack is looking down, not at Oriana/Rachel.
