Traits

AKA lynx tufts or lynx ears. Ears with tufted ear tips have a longer tuft of fur at the tips of the ears compared to the fur on the rest of the ear.

This trait can be stacked with any other ear traits (ex. for "lynx ears" combine tufted ear tips with perky ears).

Large ears are more than one half the height of the head proportionally, and allow slightly more flexibility as far as shape goes compared to other ear traits. Large ears should be no longer than the full height of the head.

This trait can be stacked with any other ear traits except mega lop ears.

AKA ursa ears. Round ears are have a more prominent curve at the ear tips, often creating a completely circular appearance!

This trait can be stacked with any other ear traits (ex. for "bear ears" combine round ears and perky ears).

Shaped cheek pouches can be just about any shape imaginable! Unless this trait is stacked with cheek shape - mismatched, both cheek pouches should be mirrored shapes.

Soosh with mismatched cheek shapes have one shape on one cheek, and another shape on the other. This trait MUST be stacked with cheek shape - shaped, however, only one is necessary for both cheek pouches (for example, if you wanted to do one heart and star, you would not need one shaped cheek pouch trait for each shape--just the one is sufficient!).

Soosh with mismatched cheek pouch colors have a different solid color on each. The cheek pouch colors cannot be patterned or gradiented unless stacked with cheek color - fancy.

Multi-color bandanas are those that, rather than one solid color, are colored in two-three colors across their length. Colors can be a gradient or solid blocks of color as long as they do not resemble a pattern (ie. stripes).

*Note: when this trait is stacked with multiple bandanas, it can appear in one of three ways:
1.) multi-color on one bandana only,
2.) multi-color on more than one bandana in the same colors,
3.) multi-color on more than one bandana in different colors. It is not necessary to have more than one multi-color trait to apply this trait to more than one bandana.

A pouch attached to a bandana. The pouch can be used to carry items.

Note that this trait is considered to be a modifier, and must be stacked with either small bandana or large bandana. This trait can be stacked with any other bandana trait except accessory bandana (meaning: you cannot attach a pouch onto an accessory bandana). These traits can, however, be used at on the same soosh when stacked with multiple bandanas.

Merged traits: traveler's bandana

Whoa! That's a big ole' bow! Large bows are classified as simple knot-styled bows that are larger than the sooshes head.

Accessory bandanas are tied to accessories worn by the soosh (such as on a hat or cloak). As the bandana is magically bonded onto the soosh's body, this means that the accessory it's tied to is as well, so neither the bandana or the accessory it's tied to can be removed!

Decorated bandanas have small accessories or flourishes sewn, embroidered, or pinned into the fabric, or tied into the knot. This could include buttons, charms, lace or fur trim, a fringe, and more! Only one decoration per trait. (ie. if you wanted a bandana with lace and a charm, this would be two separate traits)

(Merged traits: bandana lace, bandana fringe, decorative trim, bandana charm)

Soosh with multiple bandanas can have up to three! This trait can be added again to add up to 3 more, if desired. When stacked with other bandana traits, they can be applied to all bandanas or just one (it is not necessary to add more than one bandana trait if you'd like to apply it to more than one).

Trailing ribbons are knot "tails" that are longer than the size of the bow/knot itself. Trailing ribbons can be as long as twice the full length of the soosh's body (this is pretty flexible, but they should generally not be much longer than this!)

Note that this trait must be stacked with another knot trait! Trailing ribbons are considered to be a modifier to a soosh's knot, and not the knot itself (for example, a soosh with a bow that has very long tails should be listed with two traits for its knot: simple knot and trailing ribbons).

A complex knot is anything not classified as a simple knot. There are lots of ways to tie things, so get creative!

This trait is for multiple knots on the same bandana! If a bandana is tied in more than one place, it has multiple knots.

Large bandanas have no definitive maximum size limit, and can be worn on any part of the body--usually around the neck.

This trait can be stacked with any other bandana trait except small bandana and obi bandana (unless the soosh has more than one bandana). Large bandanas are worn in many different styles--check the masterlist for more examples and inspiration!

*Note that bandana traits must ALWAYS be stacked with a knot trait!

AKA living tail. This tail is actually a creature companion that has merged with its soosh's body, and now exists as its soosh's tail. The sentient tail has its own thoughts and personality.

Required stacking trait: creature companions

The tail appears to belong another species of animal entirely. Chimera tails can be based on just about any non-mammalian animal--sea creatures, insects, reptiles, even birds!

(Merged traits: aquatic tail, feather tail)

Tail is thin, with short fur (or hairless) and tipped. The tip can be a tuft of a fur (for a "lion tail") or shaped (for a "devil tail").

(Merged traits: lion tail, devil tail)

The tail, rather than being "natural," is an inanimate object instead. If the object is a food, this trait is sometimes referred to as "edible tail;" if the object is a plant, it may be referred to as a "floral tail." Object tails generally function as the object should (for example, a plant tail could wither and grow flowers/fruit).

The object itself can theoretically be anything, however, if the object is living in some way (this includes artificial intelligence), the tail should be classified as a sentient tail instead.
