Appearance and Physiology
Appearance
Because the Harat-Shar segregated based on what the physical characteristics of “wild catness," they are less homogenous in form than the other Pelted. They can be either digitigrade or plantigrade; can have humanoid faces or true muzzles; can have four fingers and claws, or five fingers and nails. These traits are linked: the more humanoid one looks, the more humanoid one’s characteristics; but one can have short, feral-looking Harat-Shar, and tall, human-like ones. Harat-Shar can be almost any wild cat pattern. Cheetah-patterned Harat-Shar are rare, have a specific phenotype (gangly, delicate, or rangy), and because of arguments during the Exodus are subject to some discrimination.[1]
Harat-Shar refer to their intraraces by the big cats they most resemble: lionine, tigraine, pardine, pantherine, cheetahine, and so on. As Reese explains, "“Tigers are animals. Tigraines are people.”[2]
