Very interesting. Thinking about it now, the Knight bludgeoned her with it's fist, but that scar suggests some sort of cleaving/slashing force, not a concussive one. If that strike had hit her eye enough to make it bleed, she should really be blind in one eye.

Yeah, that's a really solid theory. The only thing I would question is what are these burdens, sorrows, and the root of this emotional opression? Okay, she's said her dad got angry. But, surely there's got to be more too it than that.

Maybe it's the bird in a cage angle. Maybe it was the lack of personal freedom, her life being controlled. Maybe her father was actually completely awful- strict, unfair, maybe even cruel. Or maybe it's all of these things.

And if she's still refusing to talk to her father, then I don't think she's beaten the armour at all.

(Though your suggestion is more poetic, and I like it, that arm thing during singing is a technique to open up your chest more. Helps with volume. Just a sidenote, and probably not the reason it was done.)
