| Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi |
Ardyn listened raptly, head cocking at the gently spoken instruction never to kill the young rabbits. He’d heard this law more often than he could count, but he was pretty sure he understood.
He nodded, then perked up at the mention of tracking practice. He knew how to track! His tail fanned the air as he came to stand by Cairo, following the man’s instructions with a following symphony of puffing, sneezes and snorts before dropping his nose to the ground to sniff.
Lots of rabbits, plenty of packmates, some he hadn’t met yet. There was Cairo, whose scent was strongest. He circled around the Adravendi man, hoovering the ground until he finally stopped and looked up at Cairo, head tilting as he asked, “Why are we tracking the rabbits when we already know where they are?”

Ardyn at first glance is as black as can be imagined with a raven sheen.
Closer inspection proves that he shimmers in fire tones in every hair on his hide right down to his lashes.
More obviously, he glows like a bed of coals and flames with every movement and brush of fur. His tail is usually wagging, so blazes like a torch.
His adult teeth are in and his saber canines have grown to their full length (see profile). His mane and tail hair have grown to full length, as well as being lightweight and easily buffeted by breezes.
A look at his front paws will give the impression of hands, with his dew claw dropped low and lengthened into a functioning thumb, and his toes elongated into fingers. He has retractable, solid black cat-like claws on every paw.
Ardyn has developed a glowing mast of intricate markings in fire and ice colors over his face, symmetrical over the last seasons of Year 17 (see profile for details). During hunts or raids/sieges, he will smudge them out with black soot to cover the glow, otherwise, they are bright enough to note at first direct glance at his face. Not all his artwork currently portrays the mask markings.
He is also often bedecked in beads, small bells, feathers in blues, ribbons and braids thanks to the Ooze Event of Halloween 2021, and the Coathanger item that he got. The accessories generally are seen most in his mane and tail hair. He removes the brighter items and bells for hunts or battle.
