Zolnir: It's not a better explanation. It adds an unneeded complication. I'm just applying Occam's Razor. A Grimm attached to a lady's face, which looks nothing like an animal or living thing, and much more like a mask, is content to sit on her face, where from all we know about Grimm, it should be doing its level best to kill her? This is a thing I cannot bring myself to believe. Them fucking up is a much more believable explanation.

How is "the mask is actually a Grimm, or somehow alive" a better explanation than "It's a mask with a few different models, that they switched out for the blinking scene"?

As a matter of fact, I do contend it's her skin color. I took two Youtube screenshots, and used MS paint as a color picker, to get RGB and HSL values. My data follows:

RGB HSL

189,185,204 168,38,180

194,181,202 185,40,180

Neck, turned:

190,176,198 185,39,176

182,169,192 183,37,170

186,169,194 187,41,171

Thigh:

185,172,201 178,51,176

185,172,201 178,51,176

186,174,202 177,50,177



We can see, without doing any statistics at all, that all the numbers are reasonably close to each other, suggesting that the eyelid seen is in fact a match for Raven's skin tone.
