In this episode, our valiant designers would like to present to you the design approach behind Akai Hime.

In this early concept design, we focused on the "Ninja" theme.
Based on the characteristics of the assassin class, this version of Akai Hime wears an outfit that merges Japanese-style armor with combat suit elements. Our initial goal was to create a cold, swift, and foxy ninja girl.

The second early concept design for Akai Hime is rather "colorful," with more of her fursonality and cultural identity taken into account.
With Akai Hime red and purple as the main colors, this outfit combines elements of a kimono and a school uniform, featuring intriguing accessories such as fishnet stockings and rivets. The outfit gives Akai Hime a sense of danger, wrapped in a layer of exotic allure.

Ah, this is the design we're all familiar with. The core idea of this concept design is to present Akai Hime's delicate and youthful charm. With the outdoor athlete-style outfit featuring a casual and energetic jacket, we want to enchant Akai Hime with adorableness, vitality and a bit of idol charisma.
We finally selected version 3 as Akai Hime's final concept design. Instead of using the red from Akai Hime's v1 and v2 designs, we opted for pink to further emphasize Akai Hime's adorableness and vitality. With the newly designed cute bow hair clip and heart & paw shaped accessories, we managed to make Akai Hime appear even younger and more lively.
What other valiant design stories would you like to know about? Are there any other aspects you would like to see in our dev logs? Let us know in the comments! We'll see you again next time!

Originally posted by loreLore wise, Akai Hime's unfortunate childhood caused her to become skilled in manipulating others' minds and hearts since she was very young. Her seemingly harmless beauty is a powerful tool for easily gaining others' trust. Beneath her youthful appearance lies a cunning nature, allowing her to leverage her intelligence and techniques to deliver a fatal strike when her rivals let their guard down.
