Deep in the cave known as victory road, a tall purple weasel is wandering about the corridors passing glances to and fro. “For a place said to have a lot of tough pokemon living in it, it’s been pretty damn quiet.” She comments to herself followed by a sigh of disappointment.

We know Maeri’s tear tracks are a direct manifestation of overusing her powers without a name. However, we also know that overexertion of magic has different effects on different gods. (For example : Kai not being able to hold a single shape / beast form and Falen being clopped)

With these examples there is an important common ground that the way the “defects” manifest are related to the gods title. If that makes sense.

Like, Kai is the sacrifice, so her form in the void (in her realm) shifts between her daughters which she sacrificed. And outside her realm she takes the shape of the three beast gods which sacrificed themselves so she and Estra would live.

A much more noticeable connection is Falen’s “defect” which is a version of himself that betrays his desires.

Ok ok so my theory is, Maeri’s tear tracks aren’t specifically her “defect” from overusing her magic. I think it’s scarring in general. Like, the thing about surviving is that it leaves scars, either physically (burns, surgery scars, etc.) or mentally (ptsd, survivors guilt, etc.). So if Maeri continues to overuse her magic she’ll become covered in golden scars to the point where they make up most of her skin. Golden skin? Hmmm. Where have I heard that before? 🤔

No fear

“Bad Falen saying he does whatever betrays his counterpart followed by saying he would never hurt Fran implying “good” Falen would.”
