- It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.
Examples:
Hood (nHd/HdHd) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
A band around the neck, darker or lighter than the base coat. Can spread to the head and shoulders.
Range:
- Hood may be a lighter or darker shade of the base coat, including black and white.
- Hood does not have a restriction on edge hardness.
- Hood should, at minimum, create a visible ring around the neck.

Examples:
Inkblot (nIn/InIn) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Causes spots darker than base coat, can be asymmetrical and of multiple sizes.
- Inkblot must be darker than the base coat.
- The spots should be of multiple sizes throughout, and may be irregular and asymmetrical.
- It is typically hard or soft-edged.
- It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.
The above image displays the minimum and maximum size for Inkblot spots. Please note that Inkblot should not solely be made up of spots at the maximum or minimum, but these sizes may be scattered about as accents.
Examples:
Merle (nMer/MerMer) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Large, desaturated patches on the Rixixi's body, often containing dappled patches of the original base coat within.

- Can be fullbody or covering partial sections of the body. Should contain holes in the marking or spots of the base coat.
- Should appear, at minimum, on 30% of the design. Can appear in multiple patches.
Unlike in Earth dogs, there are no known health problems for Rixixi caused by homozygous Merle.
You can go against this if you like for your own personal characters' lore, this note is just here to let folks know that it won't result in negative effects and rad sicknesses when bred for.

Examples:
Sun (nSun/SunSun) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
A hard-edged marking on the chest, in an abstract or semi-abstract shape. Lighter than base or a tan or gold color. Can modify a few markings.
Range:
- Must be lighter than base coat, tan, or gold.
- Edges should be hard or textured-edged.
- It should be a mostly abstract or fully abstract shape - if it's a recognizeable shape (heart, actual sun, star, etc), it should appear as if it's a marking rather than a tattoo.
Modifying other markings:
Sun is not a full modifier, but can combine with certain markings.
Sun + Panda, Pangare, Tan, or Unders
Sun can combine with any of these markings by either cutting Sun's shape out of the chest marking or (if the marking is present elsewhere on the body as well) replacing the chest marking with the shape.Sun + Daggerstabbed:
Sun can combine with Daggerstabbed to make Daggerstabbed a hard-edged marking.
Sun + Spectacled:
Sun can combine with Spectacled to do one or both of the following effects:
- Make Spectacled gold
- Combine the two markings (Spectacled with a larger chest marking)
Examples:
Tan (nTn/TnTn) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
A variant of unders that turns the underbelly a shade of tan or brown regardless of the base coat.
Range:
- Other than the color, Tan follows the same rules as Unders:
- Edge must be hard or textured.
- Recessive Tan (nTn) must touch the chest and/or belly of the Rixixi somewhere.
- There can be some breaks in the marking, but they should appear as natural separate pieces. Cutouts are allowed as long as they are natural shapes.
- It may have a gradient, but it must be within a similar hue, not heavily two-toned.
- While markings typically should not resemble each other too heavily, Tan can, in some cases, look identical to Unders on a Sunbeam, Woods, or Latte base. Tan may also resemble Sun, Spectacled, Vest, and Accents naturally.
Dominant Tan
- Dominant Tan (TnTn) can optionally extend to a significantly larger range.
- It does not have to connect to the chest or belly. Dominant Tan should still avoid mimicking other markings, but can mimic very simple markings like Points and Hood.
Examples:
Ticking (nTk/TkTk) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Tick marks, darker than base, flecked around the Ixi's coat.
- Ticking should be darker than the base coat, and can have some variance in color.
- It should always present as small tick marks clustered together, whether in portions of the coat or covering the full body. It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. It has no minimum, but should be noticeable on the design.
- It is typically hard or lightly soft-edged.
- It can also cause barring at the limbs, tail, neck, and face - as seen on some cats, particularly the Singapura.
Examples:
Unders (nUn/UnUn) (Common)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
A hard-edged marking, lighter or darker than the base coat, on the underbelly.
Range:
- Unders may be a lighter or darker shade of the base coat, including black and white. It may have a gradient, but it must be within a similar hue, not heavily two-toned.
- Edge must be hard or textured.
- Recessive Unders (nUn) must touch the chest and/or belly of the Rixixi somewhere.
- There can be some breaks in the marking, but they should appear as natural separate pieces. Cutouts are allowed so long as they are natural shapes.
- While markings typically should not resemble each other too heavily, if Unders is on a base such as Latte, Woods, or Sunbeam, it may resemble Tan (though should still simply be lighter/darker than the base coat). Unders may also resemble Sun, Spectacled, Vest, and Accents naturally.
Dominant Unders
- Dominant Unders (UnUn) can optionally extend to a significantly larger range.
- It does not have to connect to the chest or belly. Dominant Unders should still avoid mimicking other markings, but can mimic very simple markings like Points and Hood.
Examples:
Bloom (nBlm/BlmBlm) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Presents as a band of color around any marking. The band can be any color, and may be two-toned. If no other marking exists on the Rixixi, Bloom CAN create an outline (and only the outline) of any marking.
- Bloom presents as a band of color around any marking. The band may be any color, may be two-toned, and should match the modified marking's edge hardness and shape.
- If Bloom is the only marking on the Rixixi (or if the only other markings modify the base coat without creating another marking, such as Gradient), then Bloom can create the outline of any marking except for markings with a fully blended edge - make sure that the shape of the marking is clear! You can use any edge hardness for this (including mixed edge hardness) except for 100% blended - partially blended and partially something else is fine.
- Recessive Bloom can modify the edge of one marking, while Dominant Bloom can modify the edge of multiple - as many as the designer desires.
Examples:
Cowspot (nCow/CowCow) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Large spots and patches clustered around the body. Can be lighter or darker than base coat.
- Cowspot can be lighter or darker than the base coat. It can have a gradient, and the gradient can be made up of two fairly different colors, as long as those colors are still either lighter or darker than the base coat.
- Cowspots can be single spots, large patches, many spots clustered together, or a combination of these. There can be spots smaller than the minimum size as long as they're clustering with a larger spot to make a proper-sized path. Likewise, patches can exceed the maximum size if they're clearly separate spots that meet at some points.
- Cowspots can be solid, textured, or slightly soft-edged. They should not be blended out.
- It has no maximum and can cover the full body if desired. At minimum, it should have one visible large patch.
The above images display the minimum and maximum size for Cowspots.
Examples:
Daggerstabbed (nDs/DsDs) (Uncommon)
Category: Rixixi
Species: Rixixi
Blood-colored mark on the chest, can gently streak down the underbelly; based on bleeding-heart doves.
Range:
- Must be a shade of red - bright red, blood red, pale red, or red-brown recommended. Can contain a more saturated color in the center and blend out to a desaturated color.
- Daggerstabbed's color can be overridden by the Rixixi's blood color if applicable.
- Edges should be fully blended out.
- The marking should be similar to the chest marking of a bleeding-heart dove.
- At minimum, Daggerstabbed should appear on the chest. The trail down the belly is optional.
