!!! Slight Stormbringer Story Spoilers !!!
Okay so the update like just came out and I haven't finished the story yet but I need to talk about something lmao
There aren't any plot spoilers, but I do show the other 3 Legends'(?) designs
Although they're also shown in a loading screen, but I'll put it under a cut to be safe lol
I didn't get a screenshot of it but ??? is Cloud Deity Cookie
I could be wrong because I don't know a huge amount about other Asian cultures, but I'm pretty sure these four are based on the Auspicious Beasts from Chinese culture
I don't know the full legend, but they're four celestial beasts that represent different elements, directions, and seasons
The four beasts are the White Tiger (metal), Black Tortoise (water), Azure Dragon (wood), and Vermillion Bird (fire)
Now, obviously the colors and elements don't align but design wise I think the beasts do
Stormbringer has buns on her head that look similar to ears that could be tiger ears and she also has stripes all over her and a little tooth
Cloud Deity has pauldrons that kind of look like tortoise shells and they have that cloud bag that's reminiscent of a shell on the back, although that one's a bit of a stretch
Wind Deity obviously has very bird-like aspects like wings for arms/wing looking sleeves, a feather in her hair and a feathered fan
Rain Deity is significantly less obvious and arguably doesn't have any dragon-like features, but their hair and/or dress could be reminiscent of an Eastern dragon and their color palette is blue which aligns with the Azure Dragon
This theory doesn't add anything to anything and is purely just me analyzing their designs lmao

I refuse to accept that there are any differences between African Rain Frogs and Black Velvet Spiders
Like these are the same fucking animal just in a slightly different font
