Rin concept

Early on I realized I needed to show how closely related all of the Zhu races are and feature more than just Zhuni as part of the Imperial family.  After a while it was decided that one of the princesses would be a Xerin, a 9 tailed one to convey more prestige and sort of contrast Aya's less regal look.  Made the character someone that would allow me to focus on a similar theme as Aya only with a different aspect of being royal/society  and sort of do the flip side of how Aya herself handles it.  Also find a good character to show some more lighthearted stuff within the palace.  For the look she was directly inspired by Ahri of League of Legends more so than any actual kitsune or similar stories.
