| Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi |
Áskell was as quick on the draw as he’d been the last time, and Ardyn grinned. Though he’d gotten a glancing headbutt in, he wasn’t able to avoid the grip. So, he went with it. In fact, he pushed off and threw himself forward, tucking to leave the ground and hoping to yank his opponent with him and off balance, his black coat flaring with bright fire as he went.
As he hit the ground on his back, he sent his right forepaw, claws carefully sheathed, for a slap across Áskell’s eyes as he sought to wrench his left wrist free – if Áskell hadn’t let go already – of his opponent’s jaws. He didn’t try to regain his paws, instead ready to kick out like a cat, tail flicking to cover his underside, and teeth baring in a mock snarl that suggested he hadn’t quite left the puppy-hood playfulness behind.

Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Labhair an Sean-Teanga." ---- "Hear" ---- Think |
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.
