Found this new shade today, Sparkle



Both cats previously threw out Blush so its recessive to that







and a comparison to the Radiant

Oooh, so pretty! We have an embarrassment of riches with these 3 new shades! I have two LEs with possible Blush+ and am so excited. Will have my first Blush+ hider (hopefully) offspring mating back to LE within a day. Thanks for the new blood, Callie!

So we have a proof that Sparkle is recessive to Radiant,
Its a bit complicated so bear with me.

Evely sent me a gyazo of a new Sparkle she got today from a Radiant and a blush


Dads Pedigree


Grandad eVe Sunshines pedigree


Proof starter eVe Rocit hides Radiant


lots of pedigrees
Pedigree 1 shows the Sparkle baby
Pedigree 2 shows that Lonnes, the Radiant Dad is the son of a starter Manyia and and OS from Starter Rocit
Pedigree 3 Shows eVe Sunshines full pedigree
Pedigree 4 shows a sibling breed between 2 of Rocits offspring that resulted in a Radiant,

So Lonnes got Radiant from Sunshine and hides Manyias shade
Morgana hides Manyias Shade
their baby is a sparkle so both threw their hidden shade which is Sparkle from Maniya and therefore Sparkle is recessive to Radiant.

This one's a really fun one.
When one first sees Pedigree #1 and looks at the box and parents, the first way to read it is that Sparkle was pulled out from under the Blush by a Radiant, and that therefore the Radiant is recessive. But things go awry with that interpretation quickly. The same starter is on both sides: Maniya can't be hiding both Sparkle AND Radiant. So which does she hide? If she's hiding Radiant, where did the Sparkle even come from?

So you KNOW something has to be up with one of the other cats. Notice the ages, Sunshine the Dusty Slate is 35 days old...showing Blush = most likely candidate to be hiding one of the new shades, and it starts getting interesting. Hobbes is also showing blush, but we can see that Hobbes' Blush shows on Morgana and Maniya Can't be hiding Blush (as well). So it's time to dive into eVe Sunshine's pedigree and we can see he's the product of a different Ghostie, eVe Rockit. The final pedigree shows what Rockit's hidden is: the Radiant. Two Rockit offspring showing Blush and hiding the hidden throw the double recessive and show us the Radiant.

So, knowing that, we go back up to pedigree #1, knowing that eVe Sunshine is hiding Radiant. Sunshine throws Radiant (not Blush or it would show) and eVe Maniya throws her hidden (obviously not her genesis). Lonnes is Radiant/hiding Maniya's hidden. On the other side of the pedigree, eVeManiya also throw her hidden which hides under Hobbes' Blush leading to offspring showing Blush/ again hiding Maniya's hidden. Finally Solveig appears, showing the Sparkle, which MUST be the result of a double recessive throw from Morgana and Lonnes, where the Sparkle... hidden on both sides of the pedigree comes out from under the Blush and Radiant cats.

Therefore: Sparkle is recessive to Radiant.
