chasca redesign

chasca is definitely one of the characters who originally had dark skin but was changed last minute CUZ SHE LOOKS SICKLY PALE... it doesn't look natural. also the fact that she has cowboy design.... very yucky

information; chasca, or ch'aska, is seen in both incan and salvadorian mythology but the two have similar and a lot of themes in common. in incan culture, she's the goddess dawn, a representation of the planet venus, a protector of virgins/maidens. the name itself [chaska] means curly, frizzy long hair, so that's why i gave her that hair type :D in salvadorian culture specifically, she is also related to spring water [called "virgin of the water" too] so that's the blue sleeves represent... i attempted to follow a pattern of incan & peruvian cultural clothing, hope it's accurate... i also kept genshin's chasca's hair color, since i genuinely thought it was creative with the idea that her dark blue hair follows down to a warmer color, similar to a sunrise. the color palette also resembles a sunrise [blue-purple-red-yellow] so you can tell i played into the dawn theme a lot 😻

p.s i read a whole wikipedia page in a different language which just shows that genshin absolutely messed the designs and barely put any effort into it 😭
