Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Immortals usually shrug off all previous wounds and scars as their Healing Factor heals it faster than it can scar or shapeshifters merely cover it up. Whether it is out Pride, vanity, sentimentality or Revenge against the one that did it, sometimes they will forgo wiping the wounds and scars clean and keep them. Compare Keeping the Handicap. Not to be confused with a Wound That Will Not Heal, where it is against the victim's will. |

Averted in The Belgariad. Gods are not supposed to be able to be harmed or feel pain, so they do not have a Healing Factor. The god Torak's scarred and maimed face (caused by trying to steal and use The Orb of Aldur) is therefore a permanent and very painful reminder of his own inadequacy, which he uses as a ploy to persuade people that he should be the top god and worshipped by all. | |

In The Seven Deadly Sins, Escanor performs an Explosive Overclocking ability in their fight against the Demon King. As his body burns out and dies, he gives a Love Confession to Merlin. While she did not feel the same way, she gives him a parting kiss as thanks, burning the lower-half of her face. While she could use her shapeshifting abilities to heal the burns, she decides to keep the scars as a memento of Escanor. | |

On the Discworld, the trademark of The Igor and the Igorina is to have highly visible scars. In the case of Igorinas, there will always be a single imperfection in any (otherwise invisible) cosmetic surgery they do to themselves or others. As Igorina puts it, who would notice, otherwise? They view this as advertising. | |

In Transformers: Shattered Glass, Sideswipe chose to keep the huge scratch mark on his chest (that goes over his Autobot insignia) despite the fact that he could easily have had it repaired. He explains that he wears it as a mark of pride, reminding himself and everyone else that he will have his revenge on Optimus, who tried to have him executed for disagreeing with his methods. | |

In The Order of the Stick, Xykon forces Redcloak, who would otherwise be able to regenerate using spells, to refrain from restoring his missing eye after losing it in a fight as a reminder of his shortcomings almost getting them killed. | |

The Stormlight Archive has an unintentional version: the Knight Radiant Healing Factor can undo almost any injury but is based on the Knight's self-image, so Kaladin can't heal his Slave Brand until he recovers from the trauma it represents. He finally succeeds in the fourth book. | |

In the Harry Potter franchise, wizards have a spell that allows them to be largely capable of healing any and all injuries not inflicted by an irrevocable magic with great ease. This makes it all the more noticeably that Albus Dumbledore still keeps the injury he got on his face when his brother Aberforth punched him over the accidental killing of their sister Auriana, with the implication being that Albus willingly chose to keep the signs of the old injury as a deliberate reminder to himself of his great mistake that led to Auriana's death. | |

In The Sandman, the Kindly Ones ransack the Dreaming to torment Dream, having been given free rein to do so when he took his own son's life as a mercy kill. When Dream objects to their threats, they respond by whipping him with their whip of scorpions, leaving a scar on his cheek. When asked why he keeps the scar by Lucien — Dream being a polymorphic Anthropomorphic Personification — he remarks that it was foretold that he would receive a scar on his cheek as ironic karma. | |

In Avatar Col. Quaritch got a nasty claw scar across his face, but doesn't get surgery to remove it partially because he'd have to go back to Earth first, and partially because it serves as a reminder of the dangers of the planet. It doesn't hurt that it ain't exactly disfiguring. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Lucius the Eternal of the Emperor's Children was a Fighting Narcissist who took great pride in never having received any scars from his constant dueling. Then, shortly before falling to Chaos, he received two scars that marred his face that the Apothecaries were unable to remove, and now his entire face is a roadmap of scars, many self-inflicted. | |

In Face/Off Sean Archer has a scar left by the bullet that killed his son. When he has surgery to disguise himself as Castor Troy, he insists that they preserve that scar and put it back when it's time to restore his identity. Subverted by the end of the film when he decides he doesn't need it anymore. | |

In Lucifer, Lucifer gives Mazikeen his Reality Warper "Morningstar" powers as a parting gift. Both pissed that he's leaving after everything they have gone through and forcing this power on her without her consent, she swipes at him with her sword, leaving a gash on his face. While he could heal the wound, she tells him that if he did then it would prove himself a coward. Being known for his Pride, Lucifer keeps the scar to the very end of the series, the scar still present when he returns in the 2016 series. | |

Ciaphas Cain: Cain gets into a friendly duel with a Techmarine where he manages to score a hit against the Techmarine's armor. Cain is aghast, but the Techmarine reassures him and even tells him he'll keep the notch left by Cain's chainsword as a reminder never to underestimate an opponent. Meanwhile, in ''Horus Rising'', it is revealed that Loken's bolter was deeply scratched by an Ork during the campaign at Ullanor, and he specially requested that the damage not be fixed so that he has a memento of one of his finest battles. |
