Alder Aide Ref by Tigris713

Making him a ref because Kirins are now cannon and his design needed an update. Also, kirin manes are complicated!!

I don't know if/when I'll make him a fact card. For now he'll just have the tag #alderaide

He has no cutie mark (kirins don't seem to have them) and his magic is green.
He is the father of Magina Zina and Zaffre Zu. Wondering why he doesn't have stripes when his kids do? Well, hybrid genetics are weird and the stripes...

Ref used for colors.

... on his kids are actually scales! The scales on a kirin normally go from nose to tail along the spin, but on a hybrid they don't really know where to go. So on his kids, the stripes are made up of misshaped, messed up scales. Or at least this is the excuse im going with now. Idk, maybe I'll invalidate it one day by just giving him stripes.

Also, his horn has 3 points to it. One in the middle and 2 on each side. On his kids, this translates to 3 horns (only one can chanbel magic) for Magina Zina and 2 horns (no central horn for magic) for Zaffre Zu.
