Thanks to both you and Kathri for help with this. I don't know (yet)
what form she plans to register -- I'll get that from her Tuesday. I
can guarantee she wants the "Sl[a']ine", but am not sure of the
rest.
The badge has changed to "Or, a wolf couchant reguardant gules
maintaining in its mouth a sword fesswise proper". Will that work
on an Or background? Or would fieldless be better? Also, her
original drawing had the tail erect -- I'm not sure if that should be
explicitly blazoned, or changed (no definition of 'couchant' I can find
references the tail at all).
