Special Dyed Whites (B)
Learn about Special Traits Here.
This trait is when an Isomara appears to have color on the normally colorless parts of its body. An Isomara's mane, wings, ear fluff, teeth, horns, claws, and underside of most tails are always white unless they have this special condition.

Restrictions:
- Dyed whites cannot be colors too close to the whites, such as light creams and light greys
- You may only have some whites colored or have all the whites, including even their horns and claws, oddly colored and marked

Special Dyed Whites (E)
Learn about Special Traits Here.
Exiled Isomara were not born with these dyed whites. Some chose this path of solitude, others were forced out of the community and shamed, perhaps for doing something against their kind or bringing harm to society. The offenders are punished by having them dye areas of their white fur and wings, and then the village casts the offender Isomara out of society into exile. In more recent times, some isomara rebel against society and willingly dye the whites of their fur in protest against certain traditions, beliefs, and outdated values of isomara society.
Restrictions:
- Dyed whites cannot be colors too close to the whites, such as light creams and light greys
- At least three different areas must be colored
How to Earn:
- Art/Literature Option
- TBA
