## Appearance

### **White Guard**

#### Physical

Bi'an's cheek bone is noticeably higher, his ears sharper. His eyes are golden with their creases highlighted in black. On his forehead, a Huatian in red is painted.

#### Outfit

The costume is inspired heavily by the aesthetic of ancient Chinese aristocrats, but more similar to the armor of an ancient Chinese military official. Its headwear consists of a small high bun, a golden crown fastened with a simple hairpin and decorated with pearls, red and cyan beads streaming down from it, with the rest of his hair tied up together in a sleek ponytail. He wears a silvery white Qipao; the fabric is embroidered with swirls of grey and patterned with golden plum blossoms. Above his Qipao minimalistic golden plated armor can be seen, covering only his shoulders, forearm and partially his waist. His knife pleats extend all the way to his knees, where he dons a pair of loose brown pants and a pair of old fashioned coal-black cotton shoes embroidered with a thread of gold.

#### Compass

Bi'an's compass is a circle-shaped yin-yang talisman, framed in a black square.

### **Black Guard**

#### Physical

Wujiu's skin tone is grey as ash, his hair dark white. On his forehead he shares the exact same Huatian as his brother, Bi'an.

#### Outfit

Wujiu wears the exact same golden crown and armor pieces as Bi'an, but his Qipao is a dark grey - patterned with the exact same golden plum blossoms. He wears a pair of slightly difference shoes and red pants instead of brown.

#### Bell

Wujiu's bell also turns into gold, with plum blossoms engraved into its sides.

### **Umbrella (Weapon)**

The yin-yang umbrella is covered in golden plum blossom patterns. The edges of the umbrella are covered in gold as well, the umbrella's handle being wooden with a bronze grip.

### **Special Effects**

The costume emits golden flower particles.

## Trivia

* This costume shares a color palette with Broken Blossoms.
* This costume's time period, in reality, drastically differs from their original costume - judging by the aesthetic of Far East Wind, it would be mimicking the clothes of a military official during the Han or Tang dynasty, while Wu Chang's original costume features an outfit from the Qing dynasty.
