Yeah, that's makes a lot more sense than what I was thinking. I actually see a lot of those ink tattoos on girls arond Marian's age when I substitute teach. I think it's a way to combat boredom.
Perhaps. I think it's also a way of expressing herself, her individuality and a mild rebellion against the norms. The trinity symbol represents her favourite band. When she writes in Sindarin, she usually writes a translation of her name. She is exploring her identity.
In the spring she tried dyeing her hair with bingo markers. The colours last a couple of weeks.
These are safe ways of experimenting with changes which otherwise she might regret.
Part of that should have read: "when the students start drawing on themselves and each other." I'm feeling kind of dopey right now, for no good reason.
