Even if the tattoo ends up referring primarily to a larger group that the Circle of Knowing had a schism with, I'm fairly confident sure she was Circle.

My understanding was that the Circle was specifically the group that came with Louisoix to Eorzea, and that Moenbryda was left out for reasons, but I had enough emotional difficulty as it is re-watching the CT scenes the once, so I'll admit I haven't gone back through 2.5 again yet.

While I could make up excuses all day, though, don't forget the main reason SE gives people the Circle of Knowing tattoo: simply to let you know that someone is legit. It's an effortless way to imply a specific backstory without wasting time actually telling it.

If that was supposed to make it hurt less, thank you for trying. (Didn't work, though I suspect I'll live.)
