Traits

Mantibabs are highly superstitious! Pastel Halflings are considered "lucky charms" by their peers, often treated well and finding themselves making friends fast.

A Mantibab will rarely (from birth, through magical means, an encounter with a benevolent being, or by sheer luck) find their coats lightening, usually in patches or fading gradients that eat away at their naturally vivid hues. This transformation never reaches the full coat, with the bab retaining some of their natural vivid hues, leaving them stuck halfway into vivid and pastel territory. They are often praised and looked after to see if their coats will fully lighten into the sought after pastel hues, which can be a blessing or a curse depending on the Mantibab on the recieving end...

Here are some examples of existing Pastel Halfling Mantibabs

Halfling Pastel Mantibabs should have 30% - 40% of their coat retain vivid hues while the rest can be a combination of pastels and white. Within the remaining ~60%, half of this percentage may be white or off-white hues (cream, white, ivory). Pastels that are very nearly white or present too light are included in this half. (visuals to be added!)

Which colors fall into pastel?

🔹 These hues are all safe to use up to the entire ~60% of your Mantibabs coat if you do not use any white/off-white hues.

Which pastels are considered too light?

🔹 Pastel hues that present too close to white are limited alongside the use of proper white/off-white colors. The range below would not be allowed to compose the majority of your Crederian.

VIsual examples

🔹 These examples will be the general guidelines for how the pastel amounts will be graded. Accents (horns, cheeks, ankle/elbow nubs, paws, and eyes) do not count towards the coat color limitations.

Did you know? Hair counts towards the color limitations and may skew your percentage if it is too long. Consider hair as another limb when calculating your color amounts.

Any Mantibab that is heavily pastel, but retains any significantly vivid hue will be considered a "halfling", even if they do not follow the limitations to the letter. These Mantibabs are grandfathered in and cannot be replicated under this trait.
