Quote to show that Barrens are not Branded:
(Thank You Master NorrisWarAxe)
    "Master may have noticed that my thighs are not marked," she said.
    "Yes," I said.
    "I am not one of those girls from the towns, who have been branded," she
said. "Oh, do not fear," she laughed, "that we are not well understood as
slaves. In the camps and among the tribes, our red masters keep women such as
I in our collars, to remove one of which without permission, is death."
    I nodded.
    "And, too," she said, "what could a white woman in the Barrens be but a
slave?"
    "True," I said.
    "We are thus, in our way, well marked," she said.
