Expressions and Traditions

Mid-Summer Siesta
This annual tradition includes a big feast, arts and crafts with their hair, and men sparring. By the end of these festivities, they cut their hair short and take a nice nap together, revitalizing for the rest of the season.

Family/Social Roles

The roles for the females are dependent on if they are born with slit pupils or round pupils. Girls born with silt pupils are raised to learn how to hunt and scout out food for their tribe, and those with round pupils are raised to be caretakers. Both females and males have drastically different traits and many weaknesses. To make up for each other's weaknesses while hunting, a male and female are paired together always, and often it's a couple that's paired. Mothers will have up to 2 children during the spring. Each newborn child is given a unique mark relating to their parents on their wrist.
Coming of Age
Before they reach the age of adulthood, Azurites, ideally, have to have a partner by next winter. They are free to choose who they wish; a childhood friend or one they have bonded with most. If a child is born without a horn or one that doesn't grow long enough, they are not looked down upon or shunned, but when becoming of age, the option to marry and have children is denied.

Religion, Beliefs

They believe that what the earth or gods provide is all they need to survive. Keeping a balance in the ecosystem.

Living/Habitat

Using their hair as camouflage, they allow their game to come closer so they can ambush them using their handmade tools.
