Ok Ok, another question....

[VSvictrolaVS]

Ok, I just wanted to shoot this out quick cause it's just another thing I been wondering about, now I've read everything from beginning to present over n over...maybe I missed it,BUT....was there anything ever said orgiven the idea about how Tambi got all the scars on her hand, cause I know thats how Katchoo tells em apart cause there was that time when Katchoo was scared for a moment then saw the scars and was at ease....cause as far as I remember nothing was ever said, but I just wanted make sure I didn't miss it.

No, sorry. Can't help on that one. You read these books a lot more closely than I do. I didn't even pick up on that part about the scars on the hands.

Anyone else?

I was under the impression that the scars were marks from the bandages that seem to be a fighting trademark of the Parker Girls (or Girls Formerly Known as Parker.) For some reason I always thought it was from wrapping the bandages too tight, or from the edges of the bandages scraping in when the bandaged hand gets in a really hard hit.

Yeah...I think I have to agree with Jardian.

Not speaking from personal experience of course (..or am I?) but a good hit with a bare fist will make your knuckles bleed. She probably did a lot of bare fisted fighting, and started wrapping her hands as a result...a little too late, of course
All the same, they help protect against those "annoying little scratches", I'm sure.

Haha..I hate to be a stickler, but...I'm 90% sure those are scars, just by the way that Terry draws scars, like the ones on Katchoo's wrist that can be caught now n then in some frames. And as for the bandage marks, once again, Katchoo can tell Tambi and Bambi apart just by the 'marks' on Tambi's hand so obviously this has been a long, on going thing. Ever since the first appearence Tambi has had these 'marks' and if they are just bandage marks, boy, that has to hurt..haha....and as for regular just "beat em up ass kickin scars', Bambi and Katchoo have had their share of good ol' ass whoopin's to and niether of their hands are scared up like that. Katchoo's scars on her wrist were from an previous attempted suicide, I really don't recall how I knew that, but it's true.
Sorry for being so persistent and puttin my 2 extra cents in ...don't be sore!....haha

[VSvictrolaVS]

Oh yeah ( here comes another 2 cents....haha) ...the way that Tambi's scars are drawn into some frames are drawn to purposly bring attention to nothing but the scars. I don't think Terry would have portrayed Tambi's hands like that just for the sake of doing it, with him...everything means somethin, but I haven't figured out what yet. Maybe I'm not suppose to know yet, but I was just double checkin'. Yeah, maybe I do follow pretty closely...I got into SIP when I was freshman in highschool, so call me a loser (but don't..ha) but I've had bout 6 years now to speculate and look over this stuff...and I still have questions

[Maggie]

Yep..no doubt they ARE scars, from battles past, or like..sticking her hand through a window in anger. I don't think they're henna tattoos.

Was just saying that she prolly wraps her hands to make fighting a little less stressful on her poor hands...boxers do it too, under their gloves, I think.

While I actually agree with the "fought a lot bare knuckled" is probably the best explanation for Tambi wrapping her hands...I'm almost wondering if there isn't another reason for them and that she wraps them out of some sort of self conscious effort...I'm not saying, I'm just saying...

------------------
How long a minute is depends on what side of the bathroom door you're on...

[VSvictrolaVS]

Well...as I said..I don't think the answer is that simple...if no one knows a specific moment in SIP were the scars on her hands were specifically talked bout or mentioned then I don't believe we've been told that story yet....because I dont know why, but I believe there is some signifigance to Tambi's scars other than just being a bad ass and messin em up during combats. As I said before, I don't think her scared hands would have be portrayed to bluntly in frame after frame if they didnt have some kind of story behind them, be it just a small story of punching through a glass window or something like that...so if there hasnt been one yet, I believe there will be a story behind those hands.

I think the assumption most of us have been working with is that she gets into so many fights and splinteres so many teeth with those knuckles that her hands necessarily got a little chewed up.
