Ryuutenshi Culture

Family is the most important thing in the life of a Ryuutenshi. To loose one’s family is a tragedy so deep that it’s like they’ve lost a part of their body. There is no greater crime in the eyes of their society than to dishonor the family and there is no greater offense than to insult another family. To bring a child into the world without the means to care for it is unforgivable. It’s unthinkable to not take the time to care for your own children. No one is above that, not even the Queen.

Married women wear their hear bond in some elaborate style, usually piled on top of their head. The style generally reflects whatever the current fashion is. Unmarried women always wear it loose. Long hair reflects one of two things: wealth and how long you’ve been single. The more elaborate a married woman’s hair style, the longer she’s been married. It can also mean either that your husband is very good at styling hair or that you have enough wealth to have it done that way every morning.

It’s uncommon to see women wearing dresses. In a race that depends on its ability to fly in order to go about its day to day life, a dress or skirt would be an unwise choice of wardrobe. Such things are reserved for formal occasions such as parties, audiences, or marriages or for those who do not have to fly very high as a part of their daily lives, such as new mothers (for whom flight isn’t recommended for the first few weeks after birth).

Mothers with children between the ages of two and nine tend to wear knee length trousers and closely fitting shirts with no sleeves as children in that age group are extremely rowdy.
