The Hinichi are a wolfine [[Pelted]] race. 
 
Many of them have adopted the Christian religion.

'Wolves-of-all-seasons - winter white, spring's ocher and yellow-brown, summer's deep browns and finally the grey and black of autumn.  White ears tipped with black are called 'Mother Mary' ears, acclaimed among the Hinichi for their loveliness.  They are prized and rare, considered to have more of the ''Hinichisene'' in them than the rest.  
Winter Hinichi are white and ivory, Autumn is black and gray.  Summer is deep browns and reds while spring is yellowish-browns and oranges. 

The Hinichi have the tradition of Godbraids, known by lownaders as 'prayer-plaits'.  They are braided when you want to remind yourself and God of one of your prayers to Him.  If it's a petition, it is braided with faceted crystals, while gratitude is beaded with cabochons.  Remembering someone in prayers is beaded with metal beads and little decorations that remind you of that person.  Each braid is for a separate prayer. 

There are different sects of Hinichi religious thought.  One is the ''pruscha'' - they are a much stricter sect and believe that pride is the worst of the seven deadly sins.  They preach that babies born appearing too 'human' are demons sent to tempt the Hinichi into breeding themselves to appear as the Messiah did. 
The ''sathet'' sect is much less strict and does not have the same belief on Hinichi that appear more human than wolfine.
