It seemed one of the boys was as eager about the idea of a spar as Coran, and Ardyn half bowed in invitation, though he paused as his mother began the introductions, and he smiled at the man, tail transforming into a torch as fresh wagging took over.
To the boy, Jigsaw, he tilted his head. It was the first time he’d been asked if he could be touched, but he grinned with a mental shrug, cheerfully agreeing, “Sure! I’m Ardyn.”
His coat was unusually silky in texture, and once a paw came in contact, it was as if Jigsaw would have traced fire over the ink-black fur, there for a couple seconds before fading like the trail of a falling fireball. To both Klein boys, Ardyn asked, with a wide, long canined grin, “Want to see who can catch the biggest prairie dog? Or maybe the most!”

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.
