what's more, you wouldn't have been able to see beatrice's mark in the first episode at all, thanks to her formal victorian wear. it was purely in the design of the clothes, like most of the cast.

could be nothing, could be everything, there's not enough yet to make any theories. consider it like marking down notes. but looking through the characters, i noticed that only three of them wear the mark of the one winged eagle on their skin. eva, beatrice, and shannon.
