Basic Anatomy
Body Type
All ranukin have various body types, weights, and shapes! Some are tall, short, skinnier, heavier, bustier, flatter, etc. Typically a ranuki's body will reflect what their parent's bodies may look like, but many will surprise you! The body types always carry on throughout their life stages, and any transformations they may embody. All feet have 4 toes each, and the front paws have 1 declaw each that becomes a thumb when they transform into their anthro forms!

Wings
All kin have wings that are specific to each race. You can see what types of wings each race has here!
The wings present the ability to fly to most kin, except mantikin whose allows them to navigate the waters easier. They can only really make use of their wings to fly naturally while in their feral states or some transformations. When in anthro forms, the wings appear much smaller on the center upper back and are almost useless. In any transformation, the wings can be shrunken, folded in, and hidden within the fur of the back, making them unnoticeable. This technique is typically just used for convenience and comfort.

Fur & Hair
Fur grows over all parts of the body, and can be any length, style, or type. While one ranuki may have wooly like fur, the next could have softer, plush like fur! Head hair does sometimes grow, and can be styled in any way! Lack of fur is an exclusive trait.
Eyes & Nose
Pupils are typically round, and a darker shade of color than the iris. Any other pupil shape is considered exclusive. The sclera can be any color except grey-black.
The nose will always come to a small heart shape at the top.

Markings & Colors
Ranukin can have any possible color or marking combinations! The only mandatory set markings that set them apart as a species, are the mask and stocking marks! More information about those can be seen on this page! Often the tip of the tail will also be a lighter color than the rest, but this is not always the case!

Disabilities, Wounds, Illnesses, Etc
Just like any other species, ranukin can be born with or develop disabilities. This includes both physical and mental! Some ranukin are blind and some may think in different ways, but in their world they don't view them as hindrances, but more so as qualities that make them unique!
Being wounded, having cuts and tears in the flesh that leave permanent marks, or even having limbs amputated is very possible. Although they have magical abilities, it doesn't stop their bodies from becoming damaged in battle or general accidents and recklessness! Sicknesses are also a very real possibility, and despite having the most well renowned medical teams in the world, they can still be a threat to a ranuki's health and well being.
