Whew! I’ve got a lot to say here. First off, Vin’s earring. It’s a little morbid the way she wears it around, since it was her mother’s. The same mother that killed Vin’s sister and tried to kill Vin, before Reen rescued her. But, we’ll get to more of that later.
My feeling is that the earring is Vin’s last connection to her real family or the life she knew with Reen. True, it wasn’t a great life—but it was part of her, just like the Pits became part of Kelsier. He’ll always carry those scars. The earring is the same for Vin.
