TEAR
[nTr][TrTr]
Tear is a modifier that shows as stripes along the topline of the Kirin, especially on the neck and withers. These stripes are typically relatively thick and may fade out at the tips. They can never go around the entire neck or flank of the Kirin.
This modifier is always lighter than the base or white, and should be similar in hue to the base. While it can be less saturated than the base, it can never have a higher saturation. Tear always has crisp or semi soft edges.
Tear will never affect the eye or skincolour, but will affect the mane where the marking touches.
Minimal
Tear should at least have 2-3 small stripes at the top of the neck or back.
Medium
Stripes may appear along the entire spine starting behind the ears and ending at the base of the tail.
Maximal
Some striping may be present on the forehead but shouldn't appear too close to the nose. Stripes can never wrap around the Kirin, and may go a little over halfway down the neck and about a third down the back.
