it had a different colour for the amount of power; blue, green, red or gold. blue being the least and gold being the most. I also found out you can't disguise your mark with makeup or even a tattoo other than the ancient cloth of Aphesteas. I didn't think the extra legendary info was any use to me because I thought I'd be Common or Rare. 

I went to the bathroom to get ready for school, I washed my face and stared at the mirror, unbelieving that I was already 16. What I saw in the mirror gave me a mini heart attack. My.Eyes.Were.Green. They were like emeralds instead of pupils. I almost slipped. I followed my face from the eyes to my neck and I screamed the highest pitched scream I ever screamed. I WAS A LEGENDARY.

Trevor was already barking at my bathroom door. I felt faint, I could hear rushed footsteps. I scrambled to the door and was surrounded by the worried look of my parents and an annoying face from my brother. "What a drama queen" Noah rolled his eyes. My mom shot him the don't-you-dare-insult-your-sister look. "What happened sweetie" my dad looked frightened out of his mind. "I-I'm okay" I managed. "Just m-my mark..." I stammered. "What about your mark?" my mum fussed around me and saw It. "oh" she smiled, "didn't expect that huh?". I was about to tell them about my eyes but decided not to. I looked at my right ankle to see if there was a mark or not there. I gasped "I-I'm a-a golden s-special?" Everyone looked down at my ankle and got really happy. My parents were Rares and I was a Golden Special.
