At the time, the Laruel King of Arms (I've forgotten who it was) discouraged
the use of the term "proper" in blazons, prefering tincture descriptions.
There was (and still may be) a move to supress what was termed "the
Naturalist Heresy".  Although, they *did* pass a badge for Mistress Tannis
of Tir-y-Don with "a peacock proper".

Acording to Mistress Kiri's recollection, the Consort's arms should be
"...roses barbed vert seeded Or..."
