I see Hannah also has an ancient method of dealing with her new scars: cover them up! She looks quite snazzy again, actually.

Hooray for ancient methods. I'd definatly consider using those if I ever need to stash something out of sight.

Once she gets a chance, she should get a cloak/cape that covers her shoulders and neck.
Superhannah would look absolutely fab :bunny :boogie :bunny

How about the boa from the wallpaper wars.  Effective and fuzzy.

Edit:

I just took another look.  She has a scarf around her neck and what I assume is a dress strap covering the scars.  Amber beat you to it.  Amber is great.  All praise Amber.

I don't think they want to find it out. She's too troublesome. Also, she'll probably break out from the closed as soon as she comes to - Aliyka's got the powers! :B

Dan still got a sword on him? Doubt it, but never saw it get taken, and the bird didn't want to undress a fella.  And hes still in a dress.....

Shanna borrowed his sword when they tried to attack their abductors. Graz subdued them. The sword was then taken away then, apparently.

Dan is in a dress... that is hidden under another dress! Just how awesome is that?! :B It takes a real man to wear two dresses at once!

Dan knows, Hannah knows, having heard the entire fight and probably by deduction as well (not a guard, but attacking Dan whom she knew was a fellow prisoner).  The only person who doesn't know is Aliyka herself.

But did Hannah get her tail back?

Her experience is showing.

For a moment I thought she'd regenerated, before I realised she just covered up the uncute bits.  On checking the Demonology 101, it does not look like the undead can regenerate fully. 

Still such clever and suptle placement should tide Hannah over till she can find a good mortician.

The amazons are a mysterious people, with many strange and subtle practices. We can only hope to begin to comprehend the motives and techniques of the amazon.

...Also, I like the scarf. :3

I had no idea she'd be able to stick her head back on, but there you go.  In any case, though they can't heal themselves, they can probably be repaired.

If their internal processes, with the exception of the brain, are put on stasis, then wouldn't it be that much harder for them to heal? Although it could be a bonus--I mean, they don't bleed--but wouldn't it be a problem to keep having these gaping wounds that just won't scar? Or is there more to the magic than I think there is?

Thats why so many turn to taxidermy

It's like with Reg Shoe  (Though I'm guessing it's alittle more advanced on furrea)  the stich the wounds closed.  When Hanna gets some time She'll probably stitch up her new seams.   or if a part is to damaged they remove the flesh.  Amber has sponken about dead fashions in that they replace skin with metal I'm sure some other might use cloth or leather to skin there bones

Hmmm...replacing part of your neck with metal or chainmail would make it hard to be decapitated.
Although she seems to like remaining fuzzy, so would there be a way to scoop around the bones and fill the core with metal? Seems that a half cut through the neck is better than a full lopping off.

Nah she likes being fuzzy so if she ever gets too damaged she'll just make a bunny fursuit.  I bet they can make some realy nifty faux fur

I assume that you are referring to the fact that she seems out of breath.

Come on.  She's been blasted across the room, torn limb from limb although she managed to pull herself together, and has had a generally miserable day.  Dead or alive, that has got to be tiring, and she seemed to be running out of energy when Dan first her.

I think they said that both the tail and leg had been taken away, possibly for use by the Death Knights (http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_905.php)

Warning:  bad pun alert

The missing leg has made Hannah hopping mad.  However, the events of the day have left her dead tired.  And anybody who thinks that having the fluffy parts is going to get them a little tail is going to be severly punished.

They need souls to power the Death Knights, not severed limbs. Hannah's leg and tail were probably just lying somewhere else in that room.

I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that, it was a bit obscure, that and remembering that DMFA undead don't need to breath.

But as Douglas Adams once wrote "not matter what your metabolism, there are times when you need to take a deep breath "

Plus I imagine it's a good habit to get into if you want to be inconspicuous among the living.

Unless they want to speak. After all, speaking is caused by pushing air across a vibrating string in your throat. It's a bit tricky to do that without breathing, even if you don't normally need air to keep living.

Erm. Unliving. Erm. You know what I mean.
