In the german version its outright stated by her that this is how she looked before the oracle part happened. I was a bit surprised that they did not say it that directly in the english version either.

The whole part about death and lifestream really gets more confusing to me as the time goes on. I mean even the Ancient still died it was just not something that happened often. So did the lifestream already exist at that time? Or were they all like the Ascians and they never died completely and just took over a new body? (But then children did exist thus new ones were born..if old ones never truly died then they should have overpopulated the planet at some time)

Also now we suddenly have a big amount of fairy races that are the souls of those that drowned or died as babies so the souls seemingly can go on much more often than I thought. Especially since the Fuath wanted to make us one of them by drowning us, which means that its quite certain that we would have ended that way?

So whats so special about these souls that they can just turn around and stop becoming part of the lifestream? Why are they able to do (especially as babies) that and others cant?
