Stripes is a marking that adds lighter or darker, hard-edged stripes on the beasts’ body.
There is no limit on the number of stripes added to the body unlike Badger for example. Only a handful of stripes could be shown or, if wanted, the whole design is covered with them.
The stripes do not have to be a single line either, they may branch off, connect with others, and so on. Holes are generally allowed too, however, they should be created by having branches that previously split up merge together again.
While the striping usually gets thinner the closer they get to the muzzle or feet, this is entirely optional and it is okay if those stripes have the same thickness as ones on the back for example.
This marking was inspired by the striping found on tigers or zebras, feel free to take them as inspiration if you have troubles designing your beast!
