About
No one is entirely sure what happened to Artale. He went forging one day, and came back soot black. Artale himself is even confused on the matter—he had been sniffing around a soot pile, but hadn't gotten that close. Mostly he's just thankful the farmer didn't catch him poking around the property, and that the gunk cleaned off his pink markings. The contrast is rather handsome, and he's pretty happy with the new, if unexpected, coloration. (Fancied up for Valentines 2021)
