Traits

This creates a solid white marking, normally situated over the rump, that has medium-sized holes erased into it. The edges may be textured, as long as the main marking is opaque and has solid holes. The holes allow other markings to show through. It does not have to be a contiguous shape. The entirety of the marking should have holes. It is a top layer marking.

Texture Rules

Layering Rules

It is a Top Layer marking, so it will always appear on top of all other markings.

Effect on Modifiers & Physical Traits

It may affect modifiers, skin, nails, ears, and similar things where it touches. It can also appear on modifiers that are not touching the marking.

Charged Appaloosa

Charged Appaloosa may have large areas of white along with large holes. This creates an effect similar to the Piebald gene of dogs. There should be enough holes that it does not look like a solid shape.
