The tattoo on her leg... Why does it seem strangely familiar??

I took that as the Boros logo with a long tail. Is that what you saw?

It's on her face too. Here enlarged.

I'm thinking a tribal interpretation of a Dragon. Looks closer to Planechase if it's a set/block reference.

It looks very similar, but not quite. And I know I've seen that symbol somewhere... I just can't place it...

It's not been explained, but it may have some use for how borked she is as a card

It doesn't explain everything but it does explain some things (her flavour text for example) and there is room to theorize some things that aren't explained

Not trying to be sarcastic, but do we count an Uncharted Realms posts as canon?
