In Code Geass, when we see C.C mainly topless we see that she has [a
scar](https://i.stack.imgur.com/Xz1m3.jpg) on her left breast.

The first time we see this is when Lelouch tried to get C.C to move away from
the Lancelot when she's feeding Suzaku shock images to destabilize him. when
Lelouch touches her he sees her memories and there is a scene where C.C is
naked in a river and there is a close shot of her scar.

However in the scenes were we see when C.C obtained the Code I can't really
see the scar on her when she's in the church naked talking to the nun who gave
her Geass. After C.C is covered in blood from killing the Nun who gave her
Geass i still don't see the scar.

The scar itself kinda looks like a trident and not the Geass Sigil which
questions if it's even linked to Geass itself. So i am wondering, when and how
did C.C get this scar? also given how she been shot in the head and stabbed
with shrapnel and healed completely how come the scar hasn't healed as well?

How did C.C get her scar?


It was revealed in the Nightmare Of Nunnally that during the Hundred Years War
C.C. was the rival of Joan of Arc. Joan was known as the Witch of Orleans,
where as C.C. was the Witch of Britannia and she served under Henry VI. In a
meeting between C.C. and Joan she received her scar.

Firstly, C.C. did not kill the Nun. The Nun's intent was to force C.C. to take
her Code, and once C.C.'s Geass matured, attacked her to make her do so, and
then killed herself. C.C. receives her scar from the Nun, during that
altercation.

Presumably, the Nun tried to draw a Geass symbol, but it was done imperfectly.

Presumably, the scar persists because it was one of C.C.'s features before her
death, so it doesn't go away completely.

I know this is an old question, but I wanted to give my interpretation of what
happened since it doesn't seem to be one that I've heard elsewhere.

I believe that the scar appeared after she had obtained the Code from the nun,
and she was subject to torture because of the belief that she was a witch. As
we know, those with the Code can still be wounded and "killed", but their
injuries heal very quickly and they come back to life. It's possible that this
particular injury was just fresh enough to remain visible at this time. What's
more - this injury is right over her heart. Maybe it isn't supposed to be a
Geass sigil at all, and is actually a deep wound caused by someone cutting her
heart out (this would also explain why it is taking longer to heal). Of
course, it could just as easily be a step in some sort of cultist method that
the witch hunters came up with to try and kill her based on the sigil on her
forehead.

Regardless, this cause and reasoning would answer the question regarding why
her other injuries healed, but this one hadn't seemed to. Additionally, there
is a scene during the sequence where C.C. has amnesia in which she mistakenly
believes that Lelouch wants to have sex, and begins to remove her top. In this
scene, her top is easily high enough that the scar should be visible, but no
scar can be seen.

The Nun attacked her and caused that wound forcing C.C. to defend herself and
kill the Nun instead. Which is what the Nun wanted anyways. The damaged the
Nun did, did not get healed, because it's at that moment when the Nun dies,
that C.C. gets the Code from her and is now the Code user. So because the
wound occurred before and not after C.C. became a Code user, it must of only
healed naturally. I believe a Geass user who obtains a Code doesn't
necessarily mean they activated it right then and there. C.C. must of
activated the Code at a later date, probably after the wound had healed
naturally. Perhaps after killing the Nun in self defense and thus obtaining
the Code, C.C. fled the scene and eventually healed, only to be captured and
blamed for the Nuns death and accused of being a witch and ultimately murdered
by a mob in retaliation of the death of the Nun. Then upon death her Code
activates and she resurrects as the immortal Geass distributor that the Nun
was before her with that scar. As becoming immortal is basically freezing the
person at the current state they are at when activating the Code. If LeLouch
resurrects, he will probably either have a scar in his chest or a hole. One or
the other, assuming his Code activated upon his death.
