I was today years old when I found out Jinshi’s English VA is Kaiji Tang, who is also Gojo Satoru’s English VA.

No disrespect to Takeo Otsua (Jinshi’s Japanese VA…he’s awesome too), but if only Yuichi Nakamura (Gojo’s VA) also voiced Jinshi, I will lose my shit. 🤯🫨🫨🫨🫠🫠🫠🤩

The Kitsune Characters in Yuriko's World and Story

This post contains slight relationship spoilers for Yuriko's canon story.

Yuriko

Yuriko is a Kitsune from her mother's side. Her parents sealed her Kitsune side with blood magic combined with Vibora venom, and she didn’t know about her heritage until Mukami Ruki broke the seal by taking her blood regularly. But even before that, she dreamed about a mysterious forest and a white fox who was revealed to be her big brother, Yuuto.

In Rukiko RP, Yuriko has a daughter with @ruki-mukami-dl. Mukami Tsukimi is a half Vampire, half Kitsune. Yuriko calls her a little Foxpire.

Red blue Silk uniform and Qingdai guanmao or mandarin hat with phoenix feathers as an imperial officer. Accessories to denote rank such as a phoenix and qilin.

Close fitting top with elbow length sleeves that is fairly tight fitting but allow room for movement. It is a kind-of-faded saffron color similar to the breast color of the Fenghuang. Over which she wears her leather and metal armor. Then over that, layers of very thin (almost diaphanous cloth) that are very loose fitting so it is easy to slip out of or just shuck off when needed. That builds up in colors until the outer layer where the skirt section splits off into separated 'tails' of colors. That way, in terms of movement and flow, the clothing picks up the slightest breeze and floats. Creating the illusion of effortless gliding and flight while allowing the character's movement with her clothes to punctuate her body language as she herself moves. The idea being that just the act of movement portrays elegance and effortless poise. When Zhou Chen moves with purpose all the outer layers will immediately flows behind her. Also heightening the impression of a hunting bird striking at its target. The robes are made of two layers of thicker material that doesn’t have the same flow to it. The upper layer would be smaller than the lower layer to create a two-tone color effect. The robe could be belted at the waist. It is form-fitting so that it contours to the body down to the waist. The upper section would be held in place by the armor over the top. As opposed to Zhou Zhen who would have the armor underneath the robe and the skirt of the robes flared somewhat so that when Zhou Chen moves it forms something of a sem-circle around his/her calves. In terms of color maybe the robes for Zhou Chen could have the lower layer the same blue as the second and fourth tail plumage on a Fenghuang with the upper layer the blue/gray/green of the outer feathers in the wings.
