Wow! What is this like? Does it mean something like a Vingan's hair turning red, a persons eyes changing colour or parhaps manifesting a birthmark or a tattoo?

This is sometimes a bit tricky when the deeds in question are those of a daring loner, or in the nature of sneaking around. Always room for a few dogged followers I suppose. Parhaps in the most dramatic moments when Vinga is sneaking into the enemy camp, the followers are hiding in a nearby bush, and get to see how she does it. Oh yes, and then sneak in themselves, just like she showed, I suppose!
