Here's a picture of Lady Calpernia in traditional Media. this was working out her look. She's a lady of court, with a bit of flounce, and bit of bounce, and is a lot smarter than she let's on. She's a Lupine, but the current court fashion is to clip and shave down the cheek ruffs to present a "more graceful" appearance, to contrast with "shaggy barbarians. Males don't do this, but may clip their ruff shorter, or into straight lines to create a neater appearance (see Magnus making his ruff geometric).
