Changes

In males, the more dominant fur gene is realized in their entire bodies. Their fur covers their ears, the edges of their faces, the back of their heads, and their entire body below the neck.  In some males, as they age, their less dominant fur color starts to show through their more dominant hair color. This can happen at any point in a male Raposa's life, and can happen gradually (i.e. [[Moe]]) or all at once (i.e. [[Cookie]] or [[NavyJ]]).

In females, their fur is always orange, so the more dominant fur gene is realized in their hair (i.e. [[Mari]]'s brown hair/[[Dr. Cure]]'s dark grey hair). When a female Raposa grows old, their hair tends to turn white, so it is unknown which Elder Female Raposa have white hair due to genetics and which have white hair due to old age.  

In females, their fur is always orange due to a fur-color inhibitor activated by the XX chromosome, so the more dominant fur gene is realized in their hair (i.e. [[Mari]]'s brown hair/[[Dr. Cure]]'s dark grey hair). When a female Raposa grows old, their hair tends to turn white, so it is unknown which Elder Female Raposa have white hair due to genetics and which have white hair due to old age.  

Some non-female Raposa may also have hair, although this is quite rare outside of [[Watersong]], and typically indicates that the Raposa is non-binary. In [[Watersong]] however, many Raposa are assumed to be wearing wigs due to the village having a very European style.
