Does anyone happen to know what the markings for a second or third class
demon/demoness would have on his/her/its forehead?

Does the class have any bearing on those markings?

In Mara strikes back,  one of the aftermath stories to Terible master Urd,
there is the appearence of a third class 'god' (an earth spirit, who lives
in Megumi's apartment, disguising himself as a rat. this is actually a
reapearence, and I don't have his first appearence..)
His markings superficially resemble urds: an inverted triangle on the
forehead, and cheek marks - but his cheek marks are larger and have two
'slivers' cut out of them - or else they're broken - giving him double marks
on the cheeks (though this may be because he is an 'earth spirit' and
neither a god nor a demon - demons have two marks on the forehead and two on
each cheek, while goddess marks are single..)
Generally:  The higher the level of the god, the smaller (and slimer) the
marks - Bel's is just a long, thin streak, while Urd has a wide based
inverted triangle, and Skuld (a trainee class and the one with the least
shere power)  has an 'egg' shaped oval, narow end up - her mark could
swallow both her sisters.  This could mean that the marks represent the
limits of/placed on their powers (or not, I'm not a total expert.)  I note
that Bel's mark changed when her power was unsealed - becoming two triangles
bracketing(over/under) a central dot between them.

A first class (like Mara and Bell) has a elongated 'diamond' shape as a
forhead mark - demons have two, gods and godesses have one.
Second class have an inverted triangle, for holy spirits - demon's I dont
know about (possibly two side-by-side triangles, resembling a single
figure..though they'd have to be slimmer than the holy ones..)
Third class have the same forhead markings as a second class (observation)
and much larger/broader cheek markings (invention on my part, but it makes
sense.
Skuld is treated inconcistantly - she's called a second-class, limited
godess in the 'front cover' art, but a trainee class elsewhere (or maybe
that's in the anime..) 
'spirits' Such as the earth spirits or other elementals, would have the
divided cheek marks of a demon, but not the doubled forhead markings (that
signify evil, or so I've heard..)
