BARRING

OVERVIEW

RANGE AND DETAILS

• Barring only effects the mane and tail fur. If phoenix is present, it can appear on the flight feathers.

MIN RANGE

• A single band in the mane/tail fur This band should be separated from where the mane touches the body, as otherwise it will look like mimimal mane tips. If the band follows where the mane attaches to the body, there should be a second band somewhere to make it clearly barring instead of minimal mane tips.

MAX RANGE

• Banding effecting every bit of mane/tail for on the Drakiri

COLOR, TEXTURE AND GRADIENT

• Can be lighter or darker than the base coat

 LAYERING AND GAPS/HOLES

• Layers over or under other mane markings

PHYSICAL MUTATIONS

• Can effect the flight feathers on Phoenix wings

Known Interactions

When interacting with Mane Tips, Barring can create a band along the base where the mane attachs to the body while Tips effects the tips of the mane. If interactiong, the markings should be the same color to count as an interaction.
