| Ardyn Cadeyrn Aodhán Phoenix Adravendi |
He and Coran had been talking quietly about the strange lack of full day lately when their mother called for them. He nudged his smaller brother’s shoulder and they quickly joined their mother, settling in as their sisters filtered in to join them.
Ardyn smiled at Aoife, leaning down to murmur “I’d like to work on a duet later if you want.” Two our of three sisters had arrived, but his mother was waiting patiently, so this was definitely an important thing. For once, he wasn’t privy to his mother’s plans, and from the glint in her eye, he was beginning to wonder what she was planning.
Was it something about the strange goings on? That could be it—maybe she wanted them to be safe, or wanted them to go on small missions to gather information… that could be fun, and a good introduction to their second year, coming up so soon.

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.
