Commoners might have some little bits of mana in their blood, but they can not move it, so they can't dye anything. And if they somehow drained mana from commoners into feystones and then used the feystones to dye something or someone, that would still be unrealistic, since they have so little mana it would probably take decades to get enough to dye Rozemyne, even if she's drained to near death before. the attempt.
I strongly suspect that seeing her commoner family will shock her brain into remembering them, and probably break out in tears of joy on the spot.... which will be especially weird for Kamil, since he doesn't even know she's his sister right now.
What do you mean she developed mana sensing two years ago? What she used to detect foreign mana in the bible-switch incident was not mana sensing in the traditional meaning, but some other, deliberate technique. We could clearly read this release, that she only ever felt this kind of sensation with Gervasio.
But does that mean she did develop mana sensing for some time, but just never met anyone within her mana-range between then and meeting Gervasio? If we take what we learned in fanbook 4, that would mean her mana capacity is more then 30-ish % larger than that of anyone else she was ever in a room with, which includes Ferdinand and the royals... oO
There was a passage about how "eglantine had a glow up and everyone was looking at her"
People on reddit suspected that Rozemyne developed mana sensing as eglantine had less mana.
It's still weird that she sudennly started sensing Ferdinand. They have been together for a bit since meeting grevosio.
Kamil meeting Rozemyne will be hilarious. Imagine you have sudden unannounced meeting with an aub, and she leaps into your arms.
I think the Eglantine's glow was some of her bliss over being a mother seeping through her noble facade. Rozemyne has always been quite perceptive about the mood of others.
Considering Kamil's age and Rozemyne's god-induced growth spurt, I think it's more likely to be a tackle-hug than leaping into his arms I think. ^^
Ferdinand would've been difficult to detect since he was so close to her own mana. Gervasio was in the detectable range and noticeably different. Then after getting divine mana she was out of anyone's range, and only after most of the divine mana was drained was Ferdinand in her range and different.
