[S3E20] Question about Oliver and Sara

S3E20 SPOILERS

We got to see quite a lot of Sara's post-LoA-induction body during the show, but she didn't have a spoiler Is that something they do to all LOA members and her was ... where... on her ass? Or only to the heir, in which case, why would they have that whole set up, tools, and ritual for a once in a 600+ year ceremony.

I'm sure Nyssa gave her a more intimate induction.

Um why wouldn't they have a whole set up for a rare ceremony? Now keep in the mind a few things. We don't know how old this Ra's really is. But it's implied that Ra's is a title and so it may have been that Ra's were more frequently retired until the most recent one.

In the last episode Malcolm said that Ra's has walked the world for over a hundred years. Not quite the 600 plus like in the comics but definitely a lot. It seems as if Ra's is indeed a title so every couple hundred years they break out the elaborate branding station seems to make sense.

I think it was only to induct Oliver as the heir. Ra's would've had one too but that probably disappeared after one dunk in the pit

I honestly think that the initiation ritual was something that the writers came up with in season three, and that's why Sara wasn't branded. I suggest you ask Guggenheim, and then we'll see how he'll wiggle himself out of that question!;-)

OR: maybe they don't do it to female members (of which there doesn't seem to be many on "Arrow", apart from Nyssa).

This is an impossible question to answer without knowing all the rules that apply here. Asking Guggenheim is the only way to get a good answer.

Except he isn't known for giving good answers.

It's in her cleavage, and it's very wide

I swore she had one on her back too. In the episode when she was at the hospital

Episode 2x19. Nope. Nothing like that on her back.
