Because now she owns it. It’s like a scar - you can hide it away, be ashamed, and it will forever be something weighing on your mind. You can just ignore it, refuse to acknowledge it, and it becomes the elephant in the room. Or you can own it, know it’s there and not let it affect how you dress or what you do. That’s what Yang did; she painted it her colours to say “this is mine, and it’s not going to change who I am or what I do.”

Or, that’s what I think anyway.
