Originally, Torimoris are covered by feathers, so it's always a problem to distinguish the feathers from fur when you make your MYO, especially because feathers may look fluffy too. In different styles, they can look even similar. However, feathers and fur have some limits and here we try to show and explain the basics about them and common mistakes.

• ‘Hair Anatomy’ aka Direction

   The large feathers forming the tuft are not as flexible as the fur. They are bouncy and grow first upwards in the direction of growth, and only then slightly bend to the side. Theoretically, the fur grows in the same way, but the fur is much thinner to be bent in any directions.

   You can make the hairstyles, where feathers are raised from their beginning. However, feathers should not look like a long forelock, they just can`t lie like that.

   Important note: it strongly depends on the style. There are small exceptions sometimes. This is just an example, as it is supposed to be.

• Limits and styles

   There are no traits, so there are so many possibilities. But there are some limits too. As we said above, sometimes it depends on style, but, basically, to draw the feathered head, you should just draw every feather separately! At least on the reference, you should show it clear.

   The other thing you should know is length.
   As the chickens, Torimoris can look fluffy. But, for extra fluff and more difficult hairstyles, you must have the Fur Upgrade on chosen part of body. 
   Despite this, fur is quite short: for hairstyles it can`t be longer than before the chin. Only if you`ve added the Plant Upgrade on the same part with fur - it can grows much longer and, because of Plant MT, flowers and plants can grow here. ♥

• Fluffy Tails

   The tail of Torimori is short on skeleton level, but the long feathers can grow from it. Fur is much shorter, you should get a Plant Upgrade to make the real fluffball from it. The Fluffy Tail {ATR} can be long itself though, that allows you to make curled tails that make it look bigger, even if the length of fur is the same actually.

  • As with hairstyles, if the tail of your Torimori is feathered, you should draw the feathers more `separately`, at least at the reference.
  • A little pom tail can look fluffy though, as long as it`s short enough. Pom is a short bat tail with a bunch of small feathers on it actually.

• Fluffy Ears

   The ears are bald mostly, or have a thin layer of small feathers, which makes them slightly fluffy. 
   Feathers/fluff still can grow inside. In most styles (even in mine own) the feathers fluff look like the fur, but it`s still bunch of small feathers in fact, so I admit to draw it like that. 
   However, you shouldn`t make the line of ear edges ragged by the fur - this zone is a bald skin, and fluff here means that the skin has turned into the fur by the Fur Upgrade.

• Fluffy Legs

   You can transform the legs of Torimoris into the Puppy Legs by using a Beast Potion, however, some other cool things are allowed here without Powers needed. You can make feathered pants like some doves have. Just make sure that they look like the feathers, make them long and big.

• Potions

   All these potions are obtainable from Lon`s Potion Shop just for 350 NP (M) or 250 NP (S), also you can rarely get some from the Magic Fountain and for completing some Tasks, Quests and Events.
