Why is the burn mark missing from the last illustrations?
Honestly, it looks like they all downplayed the scar. It isn't cute, after all.

In character, it's something that could probably be covered by mundane or magical means if she felt like it. And probably necessary to do so if she's trying to incognito.

Anyways, this was cute.
Burn scar in fiction is just a red make up spot, a birth mark. A charm point.:wooow:

I know art is hard, but could some artists for once actually draw scars as they actually look like, instead of just character features that actually improve their looks... Can't think of many examples, where disfiguring scars are actually that, Balalaika from Black Lagoon is the only thing that pops to mind.

It's also the upscaler i used because i only had the small picture from twitter so i had to make them bigger.

Nice Holystone (Baccano) is at least borderline disfigured. It's kept mostly hidden by hair, but it makes sense that she would do so.

Same can be said for D. Grayman's Klaud Nine

The only thing wrong with King (One Punch Man) is that he wouldn't have that scar in that location and still have a perfectly un-touched eye. They screwed up there.

That's actually the one problem with Balalaika's scar, but to a lesser degree. Unlike King, her eye is affected, but to me, not enough. She should have less perfect function of her eyelids. They are only slightly affected (they don't open symmetrically with the unscarred side), and that doesn't look right. They show no other functional trouble.

But yeah, all told, she might be one of the most realistically scarred characters in anime.
