Ordon Winter Wear as ft in Snowfall! This is specifically Twilight's outfit.
Ordon has hot summers and cold winters. they have a festival for the first large snowfall of the year where they thank the wind spirits. snowmelt is vital to spring crops. common offerings include flowers like crocuses, irises, and daffodils as well as winter leaves
this clothing is very typical of ordonians in the wintertime but is also ceremonial for festivals such as the snowfall festival ft in the fic
because winter clothing is more labor intensive, its often passed down through families. most adults wear the same set for life once they stop growing
all of the fiber is goat or plant based
the textiles are much sturdier and heavier and than lighter clothing
all textiles are made by local spinners. most ordonians make their own clothes. uli is a skilled seamstress as is ilia. knitting is used as well
for an explanation on the beads see Notions
the way the cord is tied around the sash indicates *which* village in ordon the person comes from
the winter sash is much stiffer and warmer than a lighter sash
men and women wear different shawls
men earn their shawls through service to the village. bo has one as the mayor, rusl earned his as a defender, link also earned his as a defender.
married women wear shawls. during the engagement period, they dye and knit their own shawls and the couple are married together under it
women's shawls are larger, warmer, and more decorative. they are worn like a blanket rather than a scarf
women can *also* earn the smaller shawl. if they do, they wear the larger shawl like a sarong and the smaller shawl over the shoulders
men can give their shawls to their partners as a sort of indication of courting. its more serious than flowers; think of it like keeping a locket
when a person passes, their shawl is either buried with them (wrapped it in) or sewn into a larger blanket of family shawls which are then used for specific memorial days
leg and arm wraps are very similar to norse wraps. it helps keep the person warm, but also dry
the goat horns are harvested from passed goats or broken horns and are carved down and polished until smooth. they may be carved decoratively
hats and gloves are also typical and are knit. they are common gifts, esp for children. really lovey-dovey couples might swap a glove to wear a mismatched pair
the pants are secured with an inside drawstring and have reinforced knees
the boots are very warm and very soft. special care is taken to keep the fleece as long as possible

I’ve been feeling a little burnt out so i decided to do something fun for myself:
we’ve all heard of:
[ Black cat X Golden retriever: Bc: Aloof, Touch-starved, Mean on outside- sweet on inside. Gr: Love language is physical touch, Sweet all the time, Friendly and (usually) Naive.]
But there are so many different dog breeds/types & cat breeds/types that i made a few (2 because i overestimated my ability) little sketches of what I think some of the dynamics would be like:
Based off all those memes of ginger cats having 1 braincell.
[Black lab X Ginger cat: Gc: Clumsy and easily distracted, Oblivious, Sweet. Bl: Stoic and appears intimidating, Actually super affectionate, the safety net.]
I personally viewed white cats as the calm sophisticated ones & less snappy than the black cat steriotype.
[Dalmatian X White cat: D: Talks A-Lot, Energetic, Excitable. Wc: Loves hearing them talk, Aloof most times, Sophisticated.]
Feel free to mix and match these, i may make more if i have time/feel like it.
