I was thinking of something. I think that it's not so much that they're wiping the personality and Echo is what's left, it's that they are imprinting Echo's personality over [eliza's character's name].
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
How could you miss the scars? [link]

I did wonder if they are meant to be relatively fresh with the intention of fading them some over time or if they're older scars.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That picture looks quite different from what I was remembering. I thought there were more scars and they were much more subtle so I figured they were old. Then I felt bad for Amy Acker having to sit through their application every day.

I think that they might get more subtle as the show goes on They probably really want you to notice them now. So, what's our theory?
Mine is that she's a former active that "woke up" during an assignment and ended up getting injured. As a payoff, they paid for her to go to medical school. She discovered that patients reacted badly to her scars, so she came back to work at the dollhouse where the actives don't ask any questions or have opinions.

I didn't notice anything until her second scene, and then I only noticed one scar.

My theory was along the same lines but less fully formed.

There were more on her left cheek that fall in the shadows in that photo.
Vortex, what if she's only a doctor due to an imprint?

I look more rad than Lutheranism
So I think the issue is that I see the imprints as real, but you don't.
Because they aren't real. They're recordings. And they're not even original recordings; they're mashups.

The thing I can't get beyond with this show is way would you want Echo as Miss Penn and not the real thing.
I had the same reaction. DW said it's because they take multiple personalities and splice them together So you're getting a bunch of "Miss Penns," not just a single good negotiator. I'm still not quite buying it, though (probably because Eliza didn't quite sell it as others have mentioned).
