Why do they add that dye to their fur?:
"Well, darling, ya see, dealing with souls is a very fragile business," Her voice is deep and throaty, more like a purr than anything else. You can't help but notice that her eyes never detract from you - but there's something about her look that gives you the uneasy feeling that she's looking deeper than your fleshy body.
"And it's not so much as a dye, but the very essence of the souls, that are usually blue. And, well, when ya stay around with them for too long.." She smirks, letting out a breathy laugh.
"They mark ya." She glances down at each blue marking, before pointing to the large, slightly receding swirly mark across her left leg, climbing up her thigh.
"Each one of 'em's a story, ya see.".
With a quick flourish of her hand, it lit up a bright blue.
"This one's a bit clingy, but it'll be moving on soon," She explains, "Or maybe it won't. Child souls are complicated to comprehend sometimes." For a moment she looks sad, before her eyes light up again.
"It's pretty cool though. Better than playing Shaman any day."

Removing this as I'm going to delete the resized images and the form would look crappy afterwards.

Ahioko name:
Angin
Pronoun preference:
Female
Why do they add that dye to their fur?:
The winds of war were always special to her. The winds of war made her who she is. She is called in a foreign language, 'Winds'. Angin was young, just of age to gain privileges to become an active warrior. It was then that she learned of the four winds. She knew, as she was being educated on the subject, that without these winds she could never be the warrior she was designed to be. And so, she sought out a sacred dye to forever hold these powers with her. Each section of dye is meant to represent these winds.

Protection
is along her right leg to symbolize a protective stance. It is necessary to let one's people know you are willing to stand up for them forever and always.
Strength
runs up her left leg to remind her that getting up and continuing the fight is key. One must always have the strength to keep going.
Loyalty
is donned upon the back and shoulders. Never allow oneself to turn a back on who needs the most. Angin is to always remember to serve those she has always served without doubt.
Compassion,
lastly, wisps around the crown of her head. She is to know a correct decision against a wrong, and is to know when she can pick enemy from friend. With compassion, she knows she has a heart and a soul to rely on.

Ahioko name: Arti
Pronoun preference: Male ♂
Why do they add that dye to their fur?: Hmm.. I suppose that they dye their hair and fur to have some camouflage, also this is a warrior dye. Ahiokos knows each other by dyes and this is a tradition for them. Each warrior needs to have a dye, bright colors make the enemy to scare... Also they dye to know who is a warrior and hunter it their clans.
