EARS
- Large ears allow for more sensitive hearing, especially rounded ears with large bell shapes.
- Long ears are expressive and depict emotion easily whereas smaller ears have less movement available to express.
- Fur does not grow out of the ear but rather just outside of the ear canal, however it gives off the impression that it is.
- The fur allows for vibrations to be heard and understood easier, much like the human eardrum. If the fur is trimmed, it can result in worse hearing. If the fur is overgrown, it can also block the bell of the ear, resulting in worse hearing as well.
- Ear length can vary regardless of common/rare/ultra rare styles.
EAR TRAITS
- Common: Perked Out | Upturned Out
- Uncommon: Doberman | Rounded | Bent Tips (can be stacked) |Flat Fluff (can be stacked) | Overgrown Fluff (can be stacked)
- Rare: Floppy | Tear Drop | Backwards
- Ultra Rare: Winged | Upturned Spiral | Downturned Spiral
TAILS
- Tails usually come in the same thickness regardless of body shape, with the exception of whip tails.
- The hair at the end of the tail matches the color and style of hair on the top of the head.
- The amount of hair on the tail correlates with the Memorial’s memory—the more hair that is there, the more memory and knowledge they are able to retain and share with others.
- It is said that if you cut off the hair at the end of a Memorial’s tail, they will lose all of their memories—however the only ones to try this are poachers and they usually end up killing the Memorial before they can find out if it’s true.
- Tails have muscles that allow them to be used as a fifth limb; however the longer or shorter it is, the less movement and control. The medium length allows for the best range of movement.
TAIL TRAITS
- Common: Long | Medium
- Uncommon: Whip | Sparse (can be stacked)
- Rare: Curled | Overgrown (can be stacked)
- Ultra Rare: Extra long | Stub
HAIR
- The colors of the hair commonly come from the mother and father, taking one color of theirs and passing it onto the child. For a color to be produced that is not from either parent is unheard of.
- The colors normally gradate from one to the other as the hair grows out, but on occasion it can manifest in various ways. This doesn’t affect anything physiologically within the Memorial.
- Hair can be grown to any length or cut as short as the Memorial desires. It can also be stylized, although many memorials prefer to wear their hair down plainly.
- The colors of the hair almost always match the colors of the eyes.
HAIR TRAITS
- Common: 2 tone | Tips
- Uncommon: Middle Split | Tilted (Can be stacked)
- Rare: 1 tone | Splotches (Can be stacked)
- Ultra Rare: 3 tone
FANGS
- Memorials all have fangs of some sort except for very rare exceptions.
- The fangs are used as makeshift knives when eating—they can stab into meat and tear, help peel fruit, and more. They can also be makeshift weapons when being attacked.
- It’s possible to lose fangs, but they always grow back regardless of age. However if a fang is chipped, unless it is pulled out, it will not regrow.
FANG TRAITS
- Common: Vampire | Sabertooth
- Uncommon: Hooked | Tusks
- Rare: Monstrous (Can be stacked) | Rounded (Can be stacked)
- Ultra Rare: Natural
MARKS
- The natural marks on their skin is an integral feature of Memorials. Normally they remain dormant but glow when the Memorial experiences intense emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, etc) or when two entwine tails and knowledge is shared.
- The exact patterns seem to have no correlation to lineage or any birth rite—however, they are almost always symmetrical patterns.
- The glowing of the marks are incredibly intense, meant to ward off predators or other enemies that may attack during the day or attack during vulnerable times, like mothers teaching their children.
MARK TRAITS
- Common: Natural Glow
- Uncommon: Always Glow | Never Glow
- Rare: Color Change (Can be stacked) | Bejeweled
- Ultra Rare: No marks
MISC.
- There are various traits that can be found on Memorials as well.
- Special traits are almost unheard of, and are rumored to be from the original Memorials: godlike beings with 4 or 6 arms, a split tail, and a third eye that could see both past and future. Anyone born with these features are hailed as prophets or descendants of the gods.

- Ultra Rare: Lack of Tail
