Oh! Unrelated, but may I also suggest a nose trait suggestion? Tiny shaped noses, or tiny round noses, created by tassels, cotton balls, re-patched areas, and buttons.

Those do sound cute, but big noses were one of the old species requirements from the original creator that I decided to keep- so the noses can only be big and rounded. It may change in the future, but for now the noses are only big.
