Culture

Clothing

Shorts (kel), crop tops (minal), and even loin cloths (t’lunak) are the norm. They like clothes that are multi colored. A luxury item is a vest woven from several different colors of ribbon. These can be made from complimenting colors or from different shades of a single color that are called arpali’maj. These have no fewer than three colors or shades. The more colors in a vest indicates a high price and speaks to the great skill of the weaver. They have a great love of arm bands (veon’tel), leg bands (akla’tel), and bracers for the arms (veon’kedun) and the lower legs (akla’kedun).

Beauty Ideals

The females are taller, but both genders are heavily muscled. Their tawny brown fur is decorated with spots. As newborns, those spots are barely visible. They grow darker as they age, becoming black when they reach full maturity.

Generally, the more spots someone has, the more attractive they are. Small spots are more desirable over larger ones.
