The term evokes imagery of smoke, fire, and the passage of time, imbuing the subject with a sense of mystique or melancholy. The ashen color also implies a certain resilience, as ash is the residue of something that has endured the intense heat of destruction, a testament to enduring fire. The 'mane' is a characteristic feature, suggesting the animal has some strength.
