Summary!
Important! All the described rules are not axiomatic, and the structure of the stripes is very flexible and unpredictable. This tutorial isn’t intended to drive the authors of the OCs in the frame, but only to help those who have problems with this topic
Interesting Facts
Let's finish this short tutorial with a few facts about Na'vi stripes that you need to know:
- The pattern of stripes is independent of genetics. That is to say, nothing, not the shape, not the location, not the thickness, not the frequency is dependent on the parent. It's absolute randomness, just like fingerprints - The stripes don't have to be perfectly symmetrical - They can likely change with age as the skin renews itself, but not significantly (examples: Neytiri in the first and second movies; Kiri, who supposedly has stripes identical to Grace's but slightly different) - The type of stripes on the face aren’t entirely dependent on the stripes on the body. The face, for example, may have frequent stripes, while the body stripes are rare. (Should we expect a tutorial for body stripes?) - The rough type appears to be the most common, especially among male characters - The sharp type comes next, but is more common in females (from what I've noticed) - The watercolor type only appeared in The Way of Water, so we haven’t seen these characters in the first movie, however this type is also valid
