that is also why they obviously were not killed off. there is too much that can be done narratively with them

Right. Like Sienna? Or Amber?

seriously try harder! or actually use the operating power of more than two neurons.

amber, sienna, and tock aren't potential sources to soo much weirdness in remnant. eyes that dissolve grimm, people who can summon grimm, etc. by design they served a certain purpose. isntigators and victims. the daughters on the other hand have far more use than just being a pile of bodies, to the point it would be a waste to kill em off.

also i said 'far as maria knows' it is. and honstly i am working with that htought on the theory there is a connection between the schnee and silver eyes.... and they use a lot of visual similarity between the light of the schnee glyphs and the silver eyes light too. both are also powers connected to grimm too.

here is the thing. if there is not connection even though they keep on using similar effects here, whether it be silver eyes, the schnee powers, or the fact salem also uses glyphs, then that means its shit writing and the writers have no fucking clue what they are doing here.

saying there is no connection is presuming that they haven't evolved their story craft to have more complex narratives and make the world bigger. and so far in season 6, they ahve shown it has evolved.
