Is Tristan as soft as he looks?
Tristan is SO soft. He's puppy-fur soft. He feels like the undercoat of a dog with a true double-coat, all fluff and puff.
But it's also funny. The two colors are different fur. Yvaine's coat is the same way, the two colors have different textures, but there's so little red it's not very obvious.
Tristan's white coat is fine and silky, and straighter. His black coat is curlier and the individual strands are thicker, but has more volume, making it poofy-soft.
