Flower meanings
Each and every Canterwit has a birth flower which grows on their antlers and in their fur. This flower tends to represent their soul or personality in one way or another. In addition to this, the flowers on the Canterwit are also an indicator of their health and happiness. The more flowers a Canterwit has, the happier they are and the healthier they are. Canter magic - the physical flowers that bloom - are "nature's laughter" and the purest form of joy. A Canter's coat will be littered with flowers if they are very happy. When their spirits are fully uplifted, or when they're using magic, a Canterwit's flowers will begin to glow.
If a Canterwit feels sad, alone or scared - its flowers will begin to wilt and shed off its body. This symbolises the Canter's magic becoming weak. It is even possible for the Canter to shed all of its flowers entirely if sadness consumes it. But even if a Canterwit loses all of its flowers, its potential does not die. As long as that Canterwit is alive, there is always the chance that those flowers may bloom once again.

Colour rarities
For Canterwit with uncommon or rare features such as bicolour or double flowers, these physical changes may affect their appearance to a varying degree. Typically, the eye/hoof/skin colour, known as the mantle, will always match a Canter's flower, but with a second colour introduced, these are prone to change. The following samples demonstrate some combinations the Canterwit may have in addition, maybe a mix of the two, maybe nothing at all. There are no rarity tiers with the colourings granted they are on a Canterwit with more than one coloured flower present.
