Hi Verengt! Useless lore but their face injury came from getting stomped by a multi-ton livestock animal when they were a kid.

Transcript
The largest adult centaur with the massive scar on their face walks up to Talita, lower lip down and trunk curled upwards. They are slightly shorter than Talita, with a stocky build, longer body feathers, and no visibly defined muscles like Talita's.
Scarred centaur: You with the wide eyes. You are named Talita?
Talita flinches back, grimacing in alarm with her mane feathers standing on end. The other centaur pauses, lowering their trunk, tightening their lips, and turning their head to look at Talita with their remaining eye.
Scarred centaur: …Sorry, did I approach too quickly?
Talita grabs her face as if to close her jaw.
Talita: N–no, you’re fine! I–uh–didn't expect to be meeting you all so soon. …What were your names…?
Verengt: We are the Gwailer clan. I am Verengt, the matriarch.
Verengt points at their face with two extended center fingers. Their trunk is curled up, nostrils flared, and their eyes half-lidded.
