About this Style
after a short break, I present to you~*~**~

beijing huanying NI


Cultural inspiration: Swift, a sort of swallow; Beijing's Sand Martin kite.
Olympic Ring: Green
Represented Element: Sky
Actual fengshui element: Metal
Personality: Just, kind
Represented Ideal: Good fortune
Represented sports: Gymnastics

The swallow is a messenger of spring and happiness in Chinese culture, and is seen as a symbol of good fortune. The Chinese character for swallow (*) is also used in Yanjing (**), an old name for Beijing; thus the swallow alludes to Beijing. Nini's headgear uses the design of Beijing's Sand Martin kites, which are colourful cross-shaped kites modeled after swallows.

This was my favorite Fuwa to make. c:
Decided to go more with the elements and personality than the colors, though i tied to keep them in there.
Even though it looks soft, I always think of the Lunar Wrap Top to be made of some fine form of silver or something. xD

Major thanks to Mandy for lending it to me. <33

god i had fun layering the hair even though it's barely noticeable
